I spent a long time looking for a minidisc player to meet my needs and that was consistent with my being a tight-wad. Hello Sharp MDMT20. This is a great basic minidisc player/recorder and any shortcomings are missing bells and whistles that you can pay more money for if you'd like. ...this particular unit is a great starting place. .... pIt feels sturdy enough, sounds excellent for a portable stereo device, and is plenty small ... If you plan to record from a CD player or stereo (in either analog or optical digital output) the unit comes with everything you could want to get started except for a blank minidisc. The instruction booklet is very clearly written and getting started is a piece of cake. Note that if you want to record from your computer (MP3s anyone?) you will want to purchase a patch cable to go from your soundcard to the MDMT20 with male stereo miniplugs on both ends (mine was cheap and they are widely available). If you want to record lectures or live music, you will need to purchase a microphone. I wasted too much time sitting on the fence thinking about buying a minidisc recorder, worrying about buying the "perfect" one, the differences between digital and analog recordings, etc. Jump on in - The format ROCKS and the Sharp MDMT20 is a wonderful introduction to the world of portable digital recording.

How can I use that MD to record from a CD or COM? - xing han - Syracuse, NY United States
I got it a few days ago. It looks good and I like it. However, I can't record some music from a CD player or a computer. I often download music from some website and I want to record it into a MD disc. There is no fit wire for recording. I am very dispointed about that.
