Sony Portable Mini-Disc Player/Recorder (MZ-R500PCNAVY)
MiniDisc / MegaCool
This was my first MiniDisc player/recorder and I still use it for dubbing CDs and MP3s. It's small size is great for when I'm travelling around town on the bus or making a long winded trip via air. You can track your tunes out just like with an AudioCD, putting about 20 tracks on one disc. The lower compression recordings don't sound great, but it's better than sitting on that bus listening to some freak yelling obscenities. Most recently, I upgraded to an iPod and just drag and drop one months worth of songs onto my 10gb unit, but I prefer taking the MiniDisc on longer trips---it's durable and expendable.
