Sony MZ-R37 Portable Minidisc Player/Recorder Review

See more picture

I've had my MZ-R37 for several years. I'm a professional musician, working solo (vocals, electric harmonica, guitar, organ bass pedals) or with other musicians. I use the MD to record my/our live performances. I originally had rather low expectations. I just wanted to review the music. Generally I used the output of the sound reinforcement system (tho I made a lot of very good recordings with the included stereo mic). The quality is excellent. I've been able to use many tunes recorded on the MD for CD's. Yes it's THAT good. br /br /I'm not claiming this will replace a full blown Pro Tools studio with Neumann U87's and a staff of Hollywood recording engineers, producers, and such. One can truly do magic with top line gear and a highly skilled production staff in much less time. But many of the MZ-R37's recordings were good enough to be on a CD with these and not embarrass me in comparison. And that's saying a LOT for a dirt cheap pocket size recorder with 1/8th inch input/output jacks.br /br /Mike Curtisbr /ironmancurtis.combr /

Transferring sound to an MP3 player - panache77 - Vermont, USA
I too love the quality of the MZ-R37. And the comments about it. However, 10 years later I'm still wondering if there's a way to record a copy TO my MP3 player. I have a line out to a USB port but it must be the wrong type of line in order to transfer sound.
