Man, was this thing awesome. My second portable MD unit... the first was a player only, purchased in 1998. I bought a component-sized deck for recording to go with it. Then, years later, portable recorders came way down in price and I picked this little lovely up, circa 2002. The sound quality was, to my young self, just astounding. I don't know how it would hold up today, but I suspect pretty darn well compared to 128kbps MP3.
At any rate, this unit had the ubiquitous and much loved inline-remote, an FM tuner, and a very nice design. As always, I loved the heft of the solid metal case and machinery visible when you opened it. It finally died after years of daily carry, getting banged around in my backpack at school, work, etc. All in all, it held up quite well!
