This player is an awesome addition to your home system. Trust me, Ive been using MiniDiscs since 1997, and i found out that the MiniDisc is the best choice if you want to carry your favorite tunes, with CD quality sound (youll hardly get that with MP3s!!!). This player (JE440) also incorporates the LP2 and LP4 compression system, so you can turn your 74 min. MiniDiscs into 148 and 296 min. discs!!!!! On LP2, the quality of sound is almost the same as it is without compression. On LP4, youll notice some variations in music, but this is the perfect mode if you want to record a presentation/conference, because it gives you a little less than 5 hours of recording....Editing is easy..... all of the functions are available at the stylish and well designed remote controller. Among the editing functions, you can add fade-in and fade-outs to your songs (the length is programmable), you can change the recording levels in +/- 2% increments, combine and divide tracks, among others. So, go ahead, try this technology (MiniDisc) with this excellent player..... In order to complete my sound system, I changed my car stereo to a MiniDisc In-dash unit with a CD changer in the trunk (tapes???? you cand find them at your local museum!!!) You wont regret the change to this technology!!!!!!!!!!!!

easy to use and learn. I would advise the purchase of an optical cable - with this connection, there is no need for manual level adjustments, so there are no are no oversaturated or low-level recordings. A few of the functions are a little confusing to start with, but the undo function makes it simple to avoid any lasting problem. A very nice pruduct at a reasonable price - I hope these will be available in the future despite what some other reviewers predict .

Minidisc recorders are one of the greatest inventions ever created. Its SO unfortunate that CD Burners have caused this products popularity to dwindle. You can do so much more with a minidisc than with a cd burner. Erase songs now or 10 years from now, rearrange tracks, give specific track numbers to certain songs, theres virtually no limit to what you can do. NONE of this can you do with a burner, except erase a track, and with most, you can only erase the last track you recorded and you must have a CD-RW to do that, and with those, the quality [is bad]! With minidisc, quality is always 100%. I cant believe with all these features, the minidisc has succome to the limited ability of the cd burner. Unfortunately, minidisc recorders are VERY hard to find these days. A lot of stores have stopped carrying them alltogether. And, good luck finding a place that will work on them SHOULD you ever need it. This is such a shame. An MD Recorder is also 10 times as easy to use as a CD-R. Ive had my minidisc recorder for about 3 years and wouldnt trade it for the world. I even have a Sony MD player in my vehicle and LOVE it. Dont let this product fade away like so many other great inventions in our time. I URGE YOU, buy THE BEST, the Minidisc Recorder, lets put this product back on top and drive away...unuseful products, like the CD-R.
