I've had this Minidisc recorder for at least three years now, and I've never had ANY problems with it whatsoever. If you want to record MP3's from your computer, you need to also buy a Mini-to-Mini cord to go along with it...I'd also reccomend buying...

Where's the USB port???

AIGH!!! I wanted a USB port so bad so I could record my mp3s onto minidiscs, but sadly I couldn't. It's a shame that it doesn't have a USB port so you can fully tap into the minidisc power. The battery doesn't quite last 7 hours. It lasts about 5 1/2...
