Sony Portable Mini-Disc Player/Recorder (MZ-G750DPC)
Better than a CD player although expensive
Sony makes great products and this is one of them.  I like their minidisc player because of its's small size and mine came with a free armband (carry case) so it's super easy for me to take it along while running or just working out (if you're looking for a non-skip workout player; this is it; mine hasn't skipped yet and I run, jump, and practice martial arts while I have it on).  The pc connection makes it simple to burn a song onto the minidisc but it burns in \\"real time\\" so it can take a while... but if you have something like a windows media player on your pc you can copy any of your favorite songs from different cds or from the internet on a playlist [the minidisc's discs work just like a cd-rw so you can add and delete songs on them (and they come in neat colors)] and while your computer plays them back to you, the minidisc can be recording them.  For anyone shopping for a minidisc~ you may want to opt for one of Sony's cheaper models; they have much better color options (this model only comes in silver unless they updated it) and you probably won't be using the radio much anyway unless you're a real radio buff, lit screens and lit remotes are nice too; I would tell you how nice but the model I bought didn't come with this option; also, being able to label your songs is nice and all but it takes a while so unless you REALLY want your songs labeled, don't make that a consideration.  I'd rather have a cheaper lit model than one with song labeling capability & a radio but of course, that's just my personal preference.  Last but not least, the rechargable battery is GREAT, I love not having to buy new batteries every month; when the batteries get low (I think they last about 4 hours or so??) just plug the minidisc into the wall and press charge; after it's fully charged it will shut off by itself or if you're at home, just listen with the unit plugged into the wall intead of using the batteries =)  I haven't had and problems with the batteries draining unless I hit the play button up against something with the \\"hold\\" not on [this model when I bought it came with a battery case too so if it wasn't in use I could always remove the battery so it wouldn't turn on by mistake (and drain the batteries)].  If you're in the market for a portable minidisc player don't forget to shop around and keep an eye out for in store and online sales~ sometimes you can save a lot ^_^  Good Luck at finding a good deal and Xiexie (Thanks) for taking the time to read my review ^_^t the play button up against something with the \\"hold\\" not on [this model when I bought it came with a battery case too so if it wasn't in use I could always remove the battery so it wouldn't turn on by mistake (and drain the batteries)].
