The feature-heavy MZ-R900 is the most compact, lightweight MiniDisc Walkman player ever.

It features the newly developed "MDLP", that allows for up to up to 320 minutes of stereo recording using ATRAC3 compression. Enhancements include a CD text transfer capability to record text information from a CD to an MD, and a new backlit LCD stick remote with a headphone jack. Additionally, a click of the player's double jog lever quickly moves the user through tracks while another press of the lever selects editing functions.

The personal disc memory function stores the listener's favored settings when playing pre-programmed discs, while the digital sound preset operation recalls the user's sound quality preferences. The MD Walkman player automatically stamps the date and time of the recording for easy reference and, with the press of a button, indicates how much unrecorded time remains on a disc. Sony has also added the alarm feature, which can be set from 1-99 minutes, after which an alarm goes off in the user's headphones.

It is useful for exercising, or to keep you from missing your stop on the train.
