Esta diseñado para eso. El ipod por ser un disco duro, puede sufrir daños con el movimiento. Creo que es el mejor sistema digital para gimnasio o hacer jogger

I have used this item for a few years now. The switches/buttons are very durable. I think as portable's go-this will last longer than most.

i've used several different MD players before but i've enjoyed this one the best. my biggest complaint about others was skipping and the software. when i bought my it was version 1.2. which is a pain because of the checking in/out system. this problem was eliminated later versions of the software. one important thing is to make sure to update the software. i can cos problems with burning discs. i like MDs in general because unlike cds they're very hard to mess up (i.e. scratch). this on also eliminates skipping problems.

"Somewhat useful md player"	2006-05-08

I bought this md player thinking it would be great for running and using on public transport. It has been great to a certain extent. Its ok for running though after a while it can get a bit heavy and isn't easy to hold on to if you get a bit sweaty - what is? Its perfect for popping in my bag and listening to to drown out the sound of screaming children on the bus! However, the first time I used the software it crashed my computer and I had to get a friend to fix my computer! I haven't risked trying again. Life's too short. I work in theatre and there is a plethora of md players around so I've been lucky enough to burn mds at work though it isn't always convenient. If the software hadn't been so questionable I'd have a lot more to listen to. I'm thinking of getting a mp3 player as they are so much smaller and lighter and more practical. Until then I'm happy to carry on with my md player.

"Very Good Player that will do it's job"	2005-07-15

I received this minidisc player a couple of years ago as a bday present and it hasn't let me down yet. Sound quality is clear as CDs. Easy and simple to use with a joystick to use as the button to play/stop/ff/rew. With the software (SonicStage), I can get over 30 songs on a single disc. Doesn't eat up batteries so don't worry about that. My only problem with the product is the bulky size which doesn't allow for simple transportation. Other then that, very good and useful player.

I have had recorders that used different mediam incluing Dat DCC flash media and hard drive based .and this one not only is heads above the rest in ease of use but it is built like a tank and very long play times I have used one double a for almost 60 hours .buy one while you can the japanese people are a techno society and the have adopted it as a format for years and now I am convinced

"Great if you want/know the MD, DO NOT INSTALL THE SOFTWARE!"	2004-10-01

The Merits of the MiniDisc format: I have been a fan of the MiniDisc since I first saw all my dancing friends using them to play and share music, when there also was no chance I could afford an MP3 Player. The merits of the MD -- a relatively cheap, easily tranferable/shareable format, if your friends also use it. If your buddy wants to listen to your studying/skating/waltzing/whatever mix for a day or two, you can hand it over without worrying about an expensive piece of memory/media or having to transfer data some other way. Of course, I have no idea if that's legal -- but let's say I'm talking about something you yourself wrote and recorded. I have minidisc players in the house and car, so I can easily transport mixes and play them wherever and whenever I like. I couldn't do that [as cheaply or easily] with an MP3 player (at the moment). Minidiscs are smaller than CD's, which you can also make at the drop of a hat these days, and they don't skip. Warning for all Sony MD players: Whatever you do, DO NOT INSTALL THE SONY SOFTWARE IF YOU CAN HELP IT. Maybe it will get better over time, but if you are familiar with the use of MP3s already, use RealPlayer (the free version has a Net-MD plugin that will allow you to drop your mp3s and playlists onto your MDs, without the check-in/check-out nonsense) or Ahead's Nero, or something similar. Yes, RealPlayer takes a little longer (15-90 seconds per average song, depending heavily on how you choose to encode your mp3s -- I use a very high fidelity method, and consequently have mp3s that are usually at least 5-8Mb, and these take maybe a minute or less apiece to transfer). If you aren't an MP3 user already, consider ramping up to speed. Alternatively, you could use Sony's Net-MD Simple Burner to convert your CDs into MP3s quickly, if you must. Some people are lucky enough to get the other Sony Software to work, and don't mind the check-in/check-out nonsense. (You must check-out your music files when you write them to any disc, and they may not be checked in to ANY OTHER COMPUTER, or checked out more than n times (n varies from 1-3 or maybe more over time and version release, or so it seems).) This device in particular -- Pros: 1) Water-resistant/durable/sports-compatible design. I haven't tested this to the extreme, but I'm comfortable working out with it. I've also dropped it a few times on hard surfaces, with no apparent problems ensuing. 2) Fairly easy to hold -- smoother contours than the usual Net-MD, and comes with a wrist strap. 3) Great battery life. 4) No skipping. Cons: 1) Nothing major, other than the Sony Software that most people despise -- but you can get around this as above (also search the web for "Mini disc transfer programs" or similar). 2) Ergonomically, it may not suit everyone's hand. Small hands may find it difficult to hold and control while working out. The joystick takes some getting used to. While I find it slightly awkward to use (I have medium-sized woman-hands), it IS easier to operate while running/skating/etc than the average portable music player. You don't have to look down at anything or move your hand significantly.

"Yeah, OK so it's a S O N Y..."	2004-06-24

...sure it's all sony. And with that in mind I bought it. I have several high-end sony electronic products like a 10 year old 30' tv that still puts the make on high definition (Having recently seen the difference I'll keep my set.). But this particular purchase has invited a vocabulary that I have not used since the navy. After four different install runs with the enclosed software I called Dell since I bought software support and wanted a warm body asap. Several run throughs later and same result "No workie!" OK so then I called Sony's 24hr customer service on the product. After a serious voice menu tour I got a warm body and with that another nine (9) transfers then cut off. There sits the MZ-SI in a beautiful pile of wires, manuals, quick ref. guides and a plastic package. Back to the store it went. I have never been so frustrated and disappointed in a Sony product before. If your looking for 'Out of the box' operation buy something else. This requires a software update (Mailed to you by Sony.) along with a degree in computer science to install and operate. Didn't do it for me this time. Definatly a challange if that is what your up for. Silicon Valley...

I wanted a unit that I could use working out, but I didn't want to buy more expensive memory for my mp3 player. This new Minidisc has wonderful sound and is very well made. The nice thing about is it is fairly small and is perfect for the outdoors. You don't have to worry about it. Thanks for everybodies reviews, I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on this player. It is made me a big fan of Minidisc

"Great product, but NOT for every one"	2004-01-14
- Reviewed By ashishbatra111
This is one great product. It delivers a single most important thing that I was looking for: Integration of all my music needs. I can use it at the gym (Mz s1 is quite rugged), on the go, in my car with the tape, feed into the aux of the home theater system. It can record from any source: from the pc (mp3), from virtually any other source with a line out (fm, cd, etc). I do not think that this is expensive. If it breaks, I will go and get another one, at least I do not need to create all the music data again. Other good things are the looks, feel, sony name, storage media, battery life and type. It has some solid drawbacks too: 1. The main attraction of this unit comes from the huge storage that it offers, I must say that the lowest bit rate is virtually offensive to my ears at least, so the best it can really do is 2 hours in mid level recording. I will NOT blame sony for it. 2. The software has been widely blamed all over, I just used the real player and got the plug in for this device, and get set going. People spend too much time blaming and not giving the solutions, which is as simple as installing the real player, which most have, and get the plug in. Yes, I will blame sony for it. 3. It only supports 2nd edition of win 98, this is misleading. I will not blame sony for it. 4. It requires a lot of reading and understanding, you just cannot use all the features without doing the essential reading. I will not blame sony for it. 5. Once you record a checkedout file from the computer, that number can not be erased and that disc is gone too, I will blame Sony for it big time. 6. Great joystick, but no remote, bad very very bad. I will blame sony for it. Unless one is committed to put in all the effort, stay away from this one, this is not the usual plug and play equipment.
