Sony MZ-R700DPC MiniDisc Walkman with Stick Style Remote
Love this Minidisc, but needs a few improvements
Well, like most of you, I purchased an MP3 player and returned it a week later, due to poor battery life and expensive memory.<br />Before making my decision on a decent music device to purchase (for the gym and air travel), I read all the reviews here and found it most helpful (Thank you all for writing these reviews!)<br />Anyway, the only flaws I can mention for this Mini player, is the 1:1 for time it takes to record (loved the MP3 for that!) and the volume is not loud enough!!! - Thanks, Sony, for protecting my ears, but when I am in the gym (all the noise with wgts. and people working out) - the volume needs to be louder!<br />The Sony MZR700DPC player has an option where you can record songs manually (to increase the volume during playback), but the menu is so damn cumbersome, I can never find the \\"recVolume\\" function to adjust my volume while recording.<br />One more problem....and this is a small one....Why didn't Sony include a carrier with this Minidisc, instead of having its customer's mail away for it? (...)<br />Overall, as the other reviews have mentioned, this is the best music device for your money and your time! - I have never had a problem with skipping, and I get miles of hours out of a regular battery.  Happy shopping!
