Amazon.com Product Description The MZ-N510CK Net MD Walkman recorder has everything needed to create great-sounding music mixes. In addition to transferring music at up to 32x speed (using its LP4 mode), the unit's SonicStage Jukebox software stores and manages digital music files, custom playlists, and music transfers. Bookmarking lets you program favorite songs in real time during playback, and supplied car accessories turn a vehicle into a personal music club. The MZ-N510CK offers high-speed transfer from a PC via a direct USB connection, and it 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-N510CK 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. Besides the bundled SonicStage software and SonicStage simple burner application, the MZ-N510CK includes MoodLogic software, which goes beyond typical jukebox applications, letting you compile music by mood or tempo rather than simply by artists and song titles. MoodLogic corrects file information by identifying and retitling mislabeled tracks during ID3 tag cleaning. It also has a feature called Music Marker, which lets you "tag" music during playback. Once the device is reconnected to a PC, MoodLogic retrieves the marks, connects to the Musiclub Web site, and provides you with information about the song and artist and links to download new tracks, purchase CDs, or discover similar artists. The unit provides up to 56 hours of continuous playback on one AA battery and comes with a Remote Commander control and an AC adapter. Here's how you can use the included Sonic Stage Software to manage your music files:

| Great product. I wish I had discovered minidisc technology years ago. I purchase this for one reason (descrete, portable recording), but ended up using it mostly for another reason (music playback) It's not perfect. I wish it had the AM/FM turer, but I was not willing to pay the $70 extra for the model with the tuner. I would also have been nice to record off a mike, but it has a line input and you can run your mike(s) thru a mixer if you really need to record "live". Recordings made thru the line-input cannot be uploaded to your computer either. But what it does it does very, very well. A single 80 min disc can hold (at maximum compression) well over 5 hours of music! It only needs a single AA cell, and that lasts for over 50 hours on playback. Well worth the money. |

| In response to joewaiian's review, he should have researched a little better before purchasing his player The MZ-N510 makes no claims to be able to record with a mic, for that you need the MZ-N707. Also, Sony says explicitly in its manuals that NO MiniDisc is able to transfer files from the recorder to the computer. The MZ-N510 works perfectly when used APPROPRIATELY, and not for functions it was not made to be able to do |

| This is truly a beautiful machine. On "normal" mode, you can fit 80 minutes on an 80 min minidisc. On LP2 it doubles (2 hr 40 minutes) and on LP4 it quadruples (5 hours). The quality is the same on all 3, so I don't know why anyone would even use normal or LP2, since LP4 holds so much. The recording features are VERY nice if you have a CD you want to copy (or off the radio, PC, or anything that has sound output) but aren't near your computer. The SonicStage software works well, but there are 2 problems. The first is that you can only copy your musc 3 times (but why do you need more than one song a minidisc???) You can still put the music back on the computer("check in") ONLY if you got the music from that computer ("check out"). It also comes with more software for quick burning that is unlimited. The other problem is that music that you copy from elsewhere can't go on your computer. However, it would be illegal to do that anyways. Also, Minidiscs are better than CDs because they have Groups. You can put as much or as little in groups (albums, artists, style, tempo, whatever you want) which make navigating easier. The battery life is also VERY nice. I listened to it the whole flight to Japan and back on one AA battery. My CD player would've taken 8 AA batteries. Also, when I was in Japan (Minidisc players are very popular) nobody had the recording option (they must get a seperate machine to make Minidiscs), which means ours are even better. However, this remote control is very basic. It's play/pause, stop, next, previous, and next and previous group, so if you're using it to navigate through your Minidiscs you get lost. The only bad thing about the player itself is that the battery compartment sticks out quite far. It isn't far enough to cause a probelm; it still fits in your pocket or palm or anywhere. Another bad thing is that it's quite pricey. You can get a decent CD player for $30-40, but this is over $100 more than that, it's worth it though. |

| I love this MD player. If you are deciding on buying a portable audio player get a MD player, and I would recommend this one for the least expensive. If you want to get a better model get one of the rechargable ones with the little LCD remote control with backlight. This model also comes with a remote but it doesn't have that little LCD screen that shows the song, it's simple and easy to use and it can clip to a shirt collor or backpack strap. If you don't need the remote get the 99 dollar model, I've heard it's also as good. One mini-disc can hold up to 80 minutes if you record on LP4 the maximum storage, great amount of space especially for me since most of my music is prog and if you didn't know usually a song is around 10 to 20 minutes. If you have a lot of songs then get an iPod, the regular 10GB iPods hold around 4,000, which is a whole lot and I don't even know 1,000 songs that I could actually listen to without getting sick of it in the middle of the song. I do not recommend the smaller memory (64MB, 128MB, 256MB, etc) mp3 players. I have bought one in the past and I do regret getting one. They are expensive if you think about it because they don't hold that many, think about it as 1MB = 1 minute, so 64MB is close to the amount of minutes there are on a CD. So you might as well go with a cd player if you're thinking of getting a MB mp3 player. A decent CD player is around 40 and a normal cd is usually around 10 (Burning cds are cheaper though) while a 64MB mp3 player is about 80 dollars and usually for every added 64 its an addition 20 dollars. So basically its CD Player + CD = 50 and 64MB mp3 player = 80. I also would recommend an MD player or iPod over the CD player because both MD player and iPod are a lot smaller(both can easily fit in your pocket and you won't notice). And then it comes down to the MD player and iPod. MD player = way cheaper than the iPod and decent amount (better than both MB mp3players and CD players) of storage and MDs are cheap to buy. iPod = A lot of storage (but its a waste of money if you aren't usually all of it) , really expensive So if you have a lot of songs then get the iPod, if not get a MD player. |
Flush that mp3 junk, Minidisc is the tops!!

| I am so glad I did not buy into mp3. Just a few days after having the md player/recorder I knew it was right choice. I can not understand why this format is not more heavily advertised. It has it all. Sound quality, versality, convenience and did I mention sound quality? You can move tracks, title tracks, delete tracks, re-record the discs as often as you like. You can create groups of tracks and playback the groups instead of having to select individual tracks. I can put the player in my shirt pocket (can't do that with a cd player). Record your minidiscs and leave the expensive CDs at home. It won't skip and the discs are very rugged. So far what I see are all pluses and no minuses. Well, nothing's perfect. The ability to upload md tracks to my desktop computer would be nice. Prove it to yourself. Go to minidisc.org and educate yourself then pick a unit. You won't be sorry. |
