As for the Sony MZ-R900, it was a pretty short test run. Unit is fine.<br /> <br /> Also redone a MiniDisc with more proper music files and created a new MiniDisc with the Sony MZ-DN430; it has been relegated to solely be a NetMD recorder now.<br /> <br /> Also for today, it was to test the rest of the MD portable collection. So far:<br /> <br /> Sony MZ-R37: fine. Previously, it was noisy, but it is quiet now. Odd.<br /> Sony MZ-R500: repaired corner crack near the ENTER button.<br /> Sony MZ-N510: fine.<br /> Sony MZ-E33 (black): Severe skipping on all tracks on one MD. Cleaning the lens did not work, but simply greasing the track where the laser is located worked; no more skipping.<br /> Sony MZ-E33 (white gold): I preemptively greased the laser track like the black version of the unit, and it is now fine.
