Electronics : Sony MZ-N510 Blue Net MiniDisc Walkman

- Money well spent!
I've had my Sony MZ-N510 Blue portable Mini-Disc player/recorder for 5 years and it's still works perfectly since the day I bought it. The sound quality is how you would expect from a well-known brand like Sony, clear and precise. The display is clear and is useful for telling you how much life there is left on the battery that you're using. The sound settings are a nice touch, for adjusting the treble or bass to suit your taste to get the sound that is perfect for you!
There are four different recording modes for songs on the Mini-Discs like Stereo, Mono, LP2 & LP4, however for clear sound quality on all recordings I use stereo when I want to fit more songs on one disc I use LP2 because 1. The sound is stereo and 2.I can double the recording time on a disc whether it's 74 minutes long or 80 minutes long. LP4 is useful too but the sound is half-mono and half-stereo, but I prefer recording at LP2 speed.
This walkman was worth every penny and was one of the best things I ever bought at the time for listening to music on. Although, I have lost some of the extras it came with it like the battery carry-case, the original pair of earphones and there is certain wear & tear like the clip on the back of the remote has broken off, plus the name "Sony" on the front of the remote has nearly faded. I still have the carrying-case for the walkman which protects it to a degree!

- Almost a year on and still excellent.
I got this minidisc player for my christmas last year after getting a really good deal on it from here. I works amazingly well and is very robust as it was be thrown around and still is it almost perfect condition.
I am 15 and find both the software and player itself very easy to use. And now that I've read the instructions I have found functions I love - especially the shuffle!
The sound quality is excellent and I am amazed that a single battery lasts for so long.
Other reviews say that transfer takes a long time but I feel it is only putting it on to the computer that takes a few minutes. After that it only takes around a minute to put an album on to minidisc.
The only slight critiscisms I have are that the software of stops responding and crashes my computer (But that may just be my computer) Also the earphones and remote thing are rubbish so I bought new headphones (which have also improved the sound quality) The rechargable battery & charger have both broken but because a single AA battery lasts for so long it doesn't affect me much.
So anyone looking for a minidisc player I would encourage you to buy this one.

The people at Sony have done it again! After never having any problems with Sony products in the past, I opted for a Sony minidisc and it's excellent.
I have four albums and numerous songs all on one minidisc, made possible by the ATRAC3 compression software that comes with the product. Well worth buying!
Still using my discs nearly two years later and there is no audio depreciation at all.

Whilst I agree the software does transfer the MP3 over in its own format,it does leave the original MP3 intact on your PC.
There is no need to convert the file on a permanent basis, maybe some people should read the manual and consult the help file before giving out inaccurate information.

- Mp3 Support my A$S!
I bought this because it was supposed to support mp3 files. It is a tad misleading. The mp3 files have to be CONVERTED to Sonys own format before transfer. Very sad since I have 20+hrs worth of important speeches in mp3 format taking up 30MB total, yet are converted using LP4 (the smallest file size) and then take up over 180MB!!! Pathetic! Should have bought a CD/CDRW/Mp3 player... or an Ipod!
Don't buy this if you want to play mp3s... they are not supported as one might expect!
