Amazon.com Product Description The MZ-N10 Net MD Walkman recorder is the ultimate tool for creating great-sounding music mixes as well as live voice or music recordings. It transfers music at up to 64x speed, and the included SonicStage Jukebox software stores and manages digital music files, custom playlists, and music transfers, making it a cinch to transfer music to the device. A stereo minijack mic input accepts a range of microphones and is convenient for a variety of applications, and the unit comes with a built-in rechargeable battery capable of boosting battery life to 58 hours of playback when used in conjunction with a single AA battery. Taking advantage of high-speed transfers from a PC via a direct USB connection, the MZ-N10 can record more than five hours of music on one 80-minute minidisc (using LP4 mode). It also uses Sony's skip-free G-Protection technology, which eliminates or reduces skipping during many active uses. The MZ-N10 is compatible with the RealOne music player and the pressplay.com online music subscription service. It plays back ATRAC3 files and supports multiple Internet audio formats, including MP3, WMA, and WAV. The unit provides up to 56 hours of continuous playback on one AA battery. Recording is faster and easier than ever using the long-play LP4 mode and a supplied matching USB cradle with a direct connection to the jukebox. Placing the unit in the connected cradle also ensures that it automatically recharges. The MZ-N10 also features an editing remote with a backlit LCD and a three-line dot-matrix display that shows nine characters per line for easy song searches and edits. Sony's Jog Dial navigator scrolls through track lists vertically to search for songs and groups--you can access desired points by simply rotating the dial with one finger then pushing it. A handy feature called Personal Disc Memory stores your preferred settings for listening volume and other functions when playing your favorite minidiscs. The Easy Skip group-folder function helps you organize songs into albums or groups. Once transferred to the MZ-N10, you can easily skip from group to group. Besides the bundled SonicStage software and SonicStage simple burner application, the MZ-N10 also includes software for creatively organizing your music. MoodLogic software goes beyond typical jukebox applications, letting you compile music by mood or tempo rather than simply by artists and song titles. MoodLogic corrects your file information by identifying and re-titling mislabeled tracks during ID3 tag cleaning. It also has a feature called Music Marker, which lets you "tag" music during playback. Once you reconnect the device to your PC, MoodLogic retrieves the marks, connects you to the Musiclub Web site, and provides you with information about the song and artist as well as with links to download new tracks, purchase CDs, or discover similar artists. Here's how you can use the included Sonic Stage Software to manage your music files:

 The SONY MZ-N10 If you have the means... |
| Review Date: May 19, 2003 |

If you have the means, by all means pick this little baby up!
The SONY MZ-N10 is an amazing device! I was having trouble trying to upload my songs from my YAMAHA musical keyboard to my PC, and then from there burn cds. I had no luck, until I purchased the SONY MZ-N10! Not only can you record songs from any analog or digital source straight to your SONY MZ-N10 and then upload them onto your PC, but you can also download songs from the internet or songs or sounds from your PC as well! Talk about versatilty! One thing I want to mention about this unit. The jog shuttle button is confusing the first time you use the unit. Do not pull on the jog shuttle button to get it to work, or apply excessive force! When I first tried to operate it, I pushed the button from the side of the unit inward, it didn't budge. I thought it might have been a defect, but it wasn't! I then found out by carefully inspecting the unit, to have the unit with the LCD display facing you, then press downward on the jog shuttle button to access the menu. Then from there, rotate the the jog shuttle button to select the functions and the press the play button to execute! This incredible Machine is small enough to be covered by your hands and yet has the ability of an expensive, high performance, high powered home stereo system. And depending on the source, can achieve studio quality sound! The clarity is exceptional! I also purchased the SONY ECM-MS907 microphone for this unit. Kick [hiney]! The combination of the two is phenominal! You really can hear a pin drop! Clear, clear, clear! So as I said earlier, if you have the means , by all means pick this baby up, you'll be glad you did! |
New Updated Software

Well, right off the bat, let me say that if you're looking for a device to record samples, etc, then like everyone else the NetMD systems aren't for you, because the SonicStage software will still restrict uploading of tracks from the MD to the computer that haven't previously been checked out.
Having said that, at least one person made mention in a previous review about the check-out being restricted to 3 only. The new version of SonicStage just released (2.0) allows unlimited check-out of songs in your library, so you can now transfer songs on your computer to the disks as many times as you like. Still...not much consolation for those wanting to upload from the player, but hey, Sony's trying. heh.I've only had my NetMD for a couple of months, but so far I love it and have had no trouble with the software, especially now that the check-out restriction has been lifted. It's light, compact and provides great sound quality (even at the LP4 setting the quality is pretty good), but this product may not suit everyone. Shop around. Unless you're a Sony junkie who can overlook shortcomings. ;) |
BEST MP3 PLAYER EVER! REVIEW & TROUBLESHOOTERS

| Review Date: November 14, 2005 |
| Reviewer: MP3 PLAYER LISTNER, Florida |
I won this item when it first came out. The transfer speed to PC TO MD IS very fast. The sound quality is the best. To download the sonicstage 1.5 software incase you lost your cd like I did here is the link [...]
When I first used it. Sonicstage did not recognize the NetMd player, to solve the problem : After charging Netmd, Hit release on the cradle and connect the part that was connected to the back part of the cradle to the bottom of the md playerand the other end of the usb to the computer and turn built in battery on and press play.
Sonicstage does not transport mp3 files to MD Player. It does transfer WAV format. If you have MP3 Files, download a MP3 TO WAV FILE CONVERTER. TRANSFER AND ENJOY |
The top of the line and a super machine

| This is it, right now, the top of the minidisc line. Super sound quality, awesome features, light weight (great at the gym) and with a variety of recording features that make it a pleasure to use. Auto tracking increments help when recording live or from an analog source. Great remote that has a two line display, group function and other features help navigate through long files. |
Good MD player & recorder, if you can still get one!

For some reason, MDs didn't get far, in spite of their recording quality for live music is, in my experience, unsurpassed.
I agree with "fCh" (GMT-5, USA) that its intended audience may be: "For die-hard Sony/gadgetry fans". Also with: "Gary Coombs 'TraderGary' (Atlanta, GA)" in that its copy protection simply sucks...
J. D. Sheppard (Carlsbad, NM USA) made the best review, including simple facts like: "The sound it produces is exceptional". And more personal: "I simply love the hardware. It is truly one of the marvels of 21st century technology. The software, called SonicStage, is another story".
I don't agree with the last two reviewers on the complaint that it doesn't include a mic from the start. I'd rather buy myself a better one if I need it, and am glad they keep to making the best available "basic product". If you could get to this specialized device, you know how to get a mic. Besides, nothing "included" could match a good pricey stand alone mic like Sony's!
I've never used the software, the headphones are crappy as expected, but the machine honours the Sony tradition of sturdy, nice and quality portable audio. The battery compartment is useful given it's hard to get those batteries now. The display |
