I've Found What I'm Looking For
Pros:
Sound, design, battery life, recording, equalizer, USB support. Sony.
Cons:
None.
The Bottom Line:
Mp3 players are just that, player's. The MZ-RH10 walkman is a player, and yet so much more.

Author's Review
I bought the Sony MZ-RH10 while looking for something to replace my iPod + iTunes. Granted I have a ton of music, however, I do not have time to listen to 60gigs of music nor do I want to scroll through 60gigs of music to find what I want to listen to.
Needless to say, I’ve found what I’ve been looking for. In walks the Sony MZ-RH10. People who want to “think” alike will have an iPod. Us folks, who want to “think” different, will have a MD Walkman. For me, the minidisc format is the ultimate solution. Yes, I can carry around as much music as I want, however, and more importantly, I can carry around JUST the music that I want. Depending on disc size, level of compression chosen, I can have up to 45 hours of music on one disc.
For those of you who love your mp3’s, this player has all the mp3 support that you need. It supports all of the bit rates, tag info, and the player has built-in playlist support so you can play your favorite tunes in any order, and even shuffle them as well. The player also has a wide range of built-in editing features with regards to tagging and editing of recorded tracks. There’s too many to list here.
On the recording front, and yes, there are many of us who love to record just about anything you can think of, I can record in analog or digital from multiple sources. I’ve been recording from different sources with cassette tapes since I was a kid, and this device takes me back, keeps me current, and will propel me into the future musically.
I would like to mention one more thing about the recording. I’ve read if you have two hours of music, then it takes two hours to transfer that music to the RH10. This is only true if you’re plugged in directly to the source. Use the USB port on your computer and transfer albums to the RH10 in just minutes.
I will mention that 1gb MD's are hard to find, however, the 80 or regular minidics are easily available. You can pack a ton of music on them using Atrac3plus at 64k and the sound will blow your mind. It really is that good.
