This little player (it is only a portable player; you have to have the recorder separately) does a great job of playing your recorded minidiscs. In newer automobiles with an input miniplug socket, you can play off this gadget into your car. Unfortunately, some of the solid-state mp3 players would make this gadget obsolete.I have one, but I use it so rarely that I don't even know where it is. (I had better take the batteries out, or they'll make a mess inside it.) The headphone cord has a volume control built into it. They thought of everything back then; it is overall a better quality than anything being sold today.
The minidisc concept was brilliant; you could record absolutely anything into the minidisc recorder from your stereo via the output lines, and edit the result down to blocks of size 1/10 of a second (or was that 1/60th of a second? I forget), something that is almost impossible to do even on a computer without special software. But, of course, on the player, you can only play back the pre-recorded minidiscs.
To summarize, this piece of equipment is only valuable for someone who has the other half of the package: the recorder. And if you are one of those people, you already know all about the product, but it was a lot of fun to recount it anyway!
