Great for my purposes.

I am a violist and I needed the Sony MZ-RH1 Hi-MD Walkman MiniDisc/MP3 Digital Music Player to record myself to make audition CDs for orchestra auditions and festivals. The recording quality is excellent and the MD player is easy to use. Transferring to the computer was very simple. I used the Sony ECMMS907 Digital Recording Microphone and it worked great. For all you orchestra musicians out there looking for a recording device to make your audition tapes, this is it right here. I highly recommend this!!

Sony MZ-RH1 Hi-MD Walkman MiniDisc/MP3 Digital Music Player

We are not professional musicians just someone learning to play the Piano. The Digital Music Player controls were a bit confusing at first, partly because it is so small. But so far it is working out well and the recording quality is awesome.

This unit is great....but...

I love this unit. It's great. Interestingly, it is much smaller than I thought it would be. The sound is great, nice and full for such a small unit. Even though I won't use the ear bud phones, they have really good sound. It works nicey, the buttons aren't difficult to engage, it is easy to get used to; all the recording and editing functions are easy to access. I can't comment on the computer applications I havent' tried them yet.

But the beep is driving me nuts. I have never had a walkman (or minidisc recorder) that beeps (so loudly) when you hit play, stop, forward and reverse (to the next track). And worst of all, don't hit the pause button while playing: it will beep intermittently, continuously. How could Sony possibly have included such an annoying function. When playing through a stereo using the headphone out (there is no other line-out) the sound output is rather low that you need to turn your stereo up loud and that beep is deafening. Yikes! If anyone knows how to disable this noise, please let me know [...]
