5.0 out of 5 stars Nevermind MP3's!!! Buy THIS ONE!!!, July 31, 2000

This is the perfect product for those of you looking for a portable recordable audio player but are shocked at the high prices and low memory size of MP3 players. With the new USB to digital optical products out on the market, it has become very easy to digitally transfer your MP3's to minidisc at a low-cost, without having to worry about a loss of quality. The Sharp also has a great analog sound as well.

Although I have graduated to the much higher cost Sony MD-90, this was my first, and to tell you the truth they perform almost as well.

The final reason fof purchasing this machine over an MP3 player is that for the price of 1 Sony MagicGate 64MB Memory Card (holding an hour of music), you can get 60 Multi-recordable Minidiscs (holding close to 70 hours of music) Need I say more?

5.0 out of 5 stars THE most for $$$, December 1, 1999

I have used the internet extensively to research my mini disc purchased and finally decided on the Sharp MDMS722. The reviews I found at Amazon.com were very helpful to me and I LOVE this player/recorder. It is small, convenient, and the sound is excellent. (except for the headphones) I use a pair of Sony headphones MDR-A17. The jog dial is very easy to use and the instructions are easy to understand. I have a Sony home mini disc recorder at home and the controls of the Sharp are pretty close to these. I have never had any trouble with using and editing the discs between these two players. The 50$ rebate really helped. I read that the Sharp 702? had had some trouble and sure enough, I found several refurbished models at egghead auction. They were selling for as much as I paid for the MDMS722 NEW! Boy, it sure pays to shop around. I'm glad that Amazon has a forum for the consumer to share their real life reviews of products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp MD-MS722, February 18, 2000

This review is from: Sharp MDMS722 Portable Minidisc Player/Recorder (Electronics)

I just got this player 3 days ago. It is incredibly easy to use(record and play). The sound quality is the best I've ever heard. If you're concerned w/battery life, this new lithium ion rechargable battery lasts forever! Also, the jog dial makes titling a lot easier than using regular buttons. The bass also sounds really good and doesn't drown out everything else. Believe it or not, the remote helps. It seems kind of stupid at first( I thought it was when I saw it), but it really isn't. I put the player in my backpack, and use the remote and headphones outside of it. Its really nice to have. Overall, whether or not you are good w/electronics, or a beginner,this is the best choice. Sharp included an analog cable and a digital optical cable so you can record right away. Its ease of use, quality, looks, features, and best sound quality make the 722 the best choice.
