It's a question we constantly see everyone who wants a portable player. Why MiniDisc instead of MP3? Why MP3 instead of MiniDisc? Well, here's MY view! The Sharp MD-MS722 is an AWESOME machine! Just look at it. Made of _METAL_, has a jog dial that helps in editing, selecting tracks, and in titling. To me, it's not just an MD recorder, its a great example of GREAT industrial design. If you whip this thing out in public, you'll attract a small crowd! MD naysayers say the rotating media of MiniDiscs is bad. Just today my friend picked up my MD-MS722 and shook it real hard chanting like an idiot, "Does it skip? Does it skip?!" Needless to say, IT DIDN'T. The quality issue is already annulled. The MD-MS722 has 24bit encoding, hevce giving it a greater dynamic range than CD. I can grab the MD-MS722, a few discs, slap on my phones, and im ready to go for the day. Don't like a song? Grab the remote, and change it. Remote you say? You've never seen one on an MP3 player? Oh, darn. Your an idiot and bought an MP3 player without doing the research. With MP3, the bigger players that tout "OVER 40 HOURS OF MUSIC" are crap. Take a look at http://www.mymuzik.com/images/archoslg.jpg. It's UGLY! Thick, blocky, and has a big circle to control everything. Sure, it holds more music than I own, but I DON'T CARE. If i drop it when its running, chances are i'll ruin the HDD. With my MD player, I would yell and cuss, and have a new scratch, but PROBABLY not much more. And for the MP3 player, I'd need a computer to use it anyway. Just today i fell asleep in class and led the MD-MS722 take notes for me. I see MD as the big player, not MP3. Reguards, -Rob -- Robert J.
