Before purchasing this product I wanted to read the reviews from other customers. One that concerned me was one that the product fell apart and they were not able to have it repaired. I contacted Casio and found out that it is highly unusal that the problem would not have been handled. They also mentioned that the product was not available last Christmas and had only been released in the US market in May of 2000. I think the Casio Minidisc player is the best for the money I have seen. I have also had several other Casio products and have never been disapointed in the performance for the price. This has also held true so far with the Minidisc player.

This product I have had for one year. I have never had any problems with it, it has never skipped slurred or malfunctioned. I would recomend this product to anyone with not a lot to spend but wants a quality product

The Casio XG-3B Portable Minidisc may be cheap in price but is a great product. It is small and light weight and great for taking it with you when you go out for a run or to exercise because it does not skip. You may be thinking its not worth buying because its so cheap and is not a big named price product but your wrong. I would fecondmend this to any one who is interested in buying a minidisk but does not want to spend all that money to.

I purchased one of these, looking for a player only to keep in my car. I found that it often wouldn't even read a disc, and skipped a lot. I was unable to nordic ski without it skipping on me. It also had a very very short battery life. I may have just received a lemon, but compared to my Sharp portable this one was horrible. It's worth an extra $30-40 for a better player.

I bought this product last Christmas and it hasn't broken or skipped since then. This MD player has all the essentials plus more. It comes with headphones, a recharable battery, and the recharger. Don't think this product is poor quality because it is cheaply priced, it's a great buy for only ....

Shoppers beware! there's a reason this Minidisc costs $100, it's great in quality, that goes without saying, Casio know how to build electronics, but it costs so little since it CANNOT RECORD, CANNOT RECORD, CANNOT RECORD!!! and has very few functions, only two line-in's, one for the remote (great LCD with Backlight remote) and the other for the AC Adaptor. Only two more buttons on the Minidisc itself: The 'Hold' button and the 'Eject'. The remote itself has very few options, you can't even FF, only pass entire tracks...

All-in-all, a great quality device, but no technology in it, buy it if you're short on money, not if you think Casio is trying to become the biggest electronics company by reducing prices...

when i first opened up the box and listened to it, I thought it sounded great. I liked the remote thing and everything else. I then noticed that it wouldn't play half the tracks on my minidisks... they play just fine with my other player. So i returned this product. As far as minidisks go, Casio does not seem to be one of the major players and i believe i know why now. Maybe it was just mine but i returned it in a matter of an hour of recieving it...

don't let the price of this thing fool you. just because it is not expensive does not mean it sucks. i bought this mini disk player for 100 bucks and it is great.

This product was quite disappointing. The player skips often and the life of the batteries is short. One Duracell will play one 74 minute MD. The sound of the system is fine when working. The headphones are poor.

If you never got a minidisc thing before dont get this! it is just a PLAYER, NOT a recorder. get a player/recorder.
