...The audio/video enthusiast of the millennium is faced with an interesting future. New formats developed for the customer's pleasure (and, hopefully, the advancement of the science) are coming to the market place thick and fast, so much so, that the average audiophile may be daunted rather than enthused. The Sony and Philips Corporations are the main players in these format initiatives. Sony lost an early format war with their Beta video system to JVC's inferior VHS system, but gained huge support through the introduction (with Philips) of the Compact Disc. This CD revolution was marketed with such words as the infamous "Perfect Sound Forever". Many audiophiles, excited by this new medium, fell prey to the marketing department, dove in with both feet (me included), and dumped their Duals and Regas as fast as they could say "warped vinyl...

...-collection to hard disk and copy selected tracks or albums to your MiniDisc on the fly. If you have an internet connection, the software will even look up the CD you are transferring, and label each track to match the titles of the songs. Very slick indeed!
I am not sure how the other reviewer of the N710 managed to come up with 40 minutes (?) of copying time, but personally I found that a whole CD is copied to MiniDisc in about five minutes - also including the time it took of for the software to look up the CD on an Internet database, and download the album title and track titles.
Before the actual transfer is performed, the software will automatically convert the files to Sony's native ATRAC format. Unfortunately you cannot use the highest fidelity mode (SP), only LP2 or LP4. This is presumably done in order to avoid software implementation...
