Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The Sony MZ-N710 Net MiniDisc Walkman offers great looks, a compact design, up to 85 hours battery life and the ability to store over five hours of music on one 80-minute MiniDisc. MiniDisc technology has come on leaps and bounds these past few years. As the units have become smaller, the battery life and storage capacity have increased. The MZ-N710 is compact unit that fits nicely into a pocket or in your hand. The player boasts an LCD display for track listings and other such information, as well as offering all the buttons you'll need to get the most out of the device. For direct audio recording the user has the option of microphone, digital optical and line-in sockets. Those with a PC can connect the MZ-N710 to their computer via the USB socket. Connecting the unit to your computer via USB allows you to transfer CD audio, MP3, WMA and WAV files using the included SonicStage software. The software converts the audio files into Sony's ATRAC TYPE-S format before transfer. You can also change the audio quality setting to give yourself more music per disc. When it comes to recording, the MZ-N710 does an admirable job too. With the Quick mode you can have faster queuing and FF/RW speeds in exchange for battery life. The unit also offers a bookmark track function for easy access to relevant recordings. The MZ-N710 is powered by a rechargeable Ni-MH battery which is charged via the included cradle. There is also the option of adding an addition 'AA' type battery via a connectable battery dock. The additional battery dock will be a godsend to those who plan to be away from the charging cradle for any length of time. The remote control also serves as the main conduit to the player, allowing the main unit to be hidden out of eyes reach. Aesthetics aside the sound quality is very good. The player comes with six graphic equaliser settings and a virtual surround mode to enhance your listening pleasure. While sounding like a whim, the virtual mode is actually very good and on testing, it actually took away that hard edge normally found when listening to music through headphones. Overall this is a very comprehensive player and delivers the goods. The slim and compact aluminium body does convey a sense of durability and it looks like it could take a few knocks. The ability to add a further battery can be a lifesaver if you are out in the field. --Jason Denwood Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Great Minidisk!I got this minidisk for xmas and its much better than a cd player. The sonic stage software is a little complicated and tempremental but it does the job. The rechargeable battery is extremely useful and the charging cradle is even useful to keep it in whilst listening at a desk or whatever. For the price they are going at now, i would recommend buying one!If you are a bit lazy and wouldnt be bothered to keep converting music to put on disk then maybe a normal cd player would be better. However it does not take long to transfer the music, not half as long as burning a cd.... Rating:  - Pros and Cons....This is a wicked little MD. Its easy to use and for the price its excellent. The blue colour is much better than the silver. You get quite good kit with it aswell (good earphones, a little carrycase all the transfer wires and software e.t.c) However.....The maximum volume on the MD i feel is terrible. In quite surrondings its good, however in loud surrondings its terrible. Hardly hear your music, but i can get used to it. What i cant get used to is the Supplied Software - Sonic Stage. It sounds good but its not. You can only check out songs a maximum of 3 times and its so difficult to use. It also crashes many times (im running XP Pro) and in my opinion is nothing comapared to Open MG Jukebox which is supplied with more ...

If it works it's great with the facility to log on to the internet and retrieve song data. But in my case the software didn't work and caused me no end of frustration. I would've given it a higher rating if it wasn't for this. It is a shame that the software brought down the rating because it is one of the best things I have bought. To sum up if Sony sort out the software it will be much better. If you do buy one i hope your software works better than mine is now Rating:  - GreatGot this MD player for my birthdat last year. It's great. There is no other word to describe it. It does what it says it does. All my friends think it's good, and one even went and bought their own. My only critisism is that Sonic Stage (a program you have to use to transfer songs onto the MD)is rather slow and a bit confusing at first. Rating: - Black to BlueToday I retired my MZR500 , in Black . I enjoyed every day I owned thatlittle gem , and I think I'll enjoy the coming days with the 710 verymuch. I was sceptical about it after reading the reviews about volumeissues , and copyright protection , that stuff. But I looked at someAiwa's and a couple of Sharps , and the just didn't have "IT" , that Sonyfeel....... The software loaded in minutes , and I had transfered a CDwithing 15 minutes of opening the box. It took 3 minutes to dump 10tracks, blinding that is exactly why I bought it . I have just stuck aload of downloaded MP3's on , no problem , 5 minutes. The software is easy, drag , drop point and click,if you can't use it your in serious trouble, see a doctor. I use an oldish P3 256mb , usb ... Read More: |
