This MD is like the best, it saves batteries and is worth the price, i would even pay more

Love the design, rechargable battery, headphones, backlit lcd, sound quality.

Wish it had a belt clip, was lighter.

Never use the carrying case (it's a bag with a drawstring), optical cable (my stereo's not good enough to have an optical out)

Hate that it takes as long to record as tapes do, and that I can almost never record for the entire 74 minutes of a disc. I mean I can but when I play it back it starts to skip after about 50 minutes.

I also had trouble with the door on mine (one day it stopped opening), and the discs no longer eject themselves when I open it, I have to stick my finger in and pull them out.

It can skip too.

I've had this unit for 6 months now and have zero complaints. Audio quality is excellent, despite the flak that MD audio compression takes from critics who mistakenly believe it takes a $1000 DAT unit to get high fidelity recordings. I've used the AM-F70 with binaural mics to record concerts and have been extremely pleased with the results, which I would say give similar DAT recordings a real run for their money.

When I first purchased this mini disc player i was reallypleased with its sound quality. The only things that dissapointed mewere the lack of high volume, the remote and the fact that the headphones broke within the first day. I was still happy though, and was for a month. But one day i took the player out of my bag and pressed play. Instead of hearing high quality recordings i heard nothing and my mini disc player flashed me a caution message. The 'customer help' guys at aiwa told me to do things to the player that didn't help it at all and they finally gave me an address to ship it to. Luckly I didn't have to pay for anything except for shipping but it was still a major pain to not have the player for a good 2 months. Aiwa products have been known to break after short periods of time. Try Sony for a more reliable product END

I purchased this MD player/recorder off of Amazon.com about a month ago, and so far it is awesome!

About the only complaints that I have are: One, the remote could use a little bit of work, due to the fact that the cord lengths aren't the best. And two, the external battery pack is kind of big, but I rarely use it anyway.

Some of the nicest features it offers are: The headphones...they're really awesome, and have pretty nice sound as well. Even though the external battery pack is big, the 40hours of playback time is REALLY nice. And lastly, the ease of use...I read through the manual in about 10 minutes and started recording my first MD.

If you're thinking about getting a minidisc player, this is one of the best ones out there!
