If you want a portable music player that's; simple, quick to use, has a high playback time/battery life, is practical and most importantly value for money, then you're probably better investing in an ipod.

After owning an MZ-N10/S for about a year now I can honestly say that I am disappointed with it. If you're just looking for something to use every now and again and you're spending on a budget then its great, but for every day use I think it was outdated by the newer generation of portable audio. Also with MP3 players dominating the market I cant see much of a future for Mini-Disk players as a whole.
Now that I've finished about the cons of the MZ-N10/S its time for some of the pros. Firstly it's very simple to transfer music from your PC to the player via the wonders of USB, it's a "Net MD" which basically means that songs can be transferred directly from and PC with a USB port and also directly from your home stereo, I even discovered that using the wire included in the purchase that songs can be transferred form music CDs in my PS2., which must surely be a big pro for it.
With the docking bay provided, (the bay attaches to the bottom of the player itself) the battery may be easily recharged and also making connecting to your PC even easier. The amount of music which you can fit on one disk varies according to the sound quality you select for the tracks when transferring form the PC, there are three different types, firstly "stereo sound" this is the best quality of sound but means that fewer tracks can be held on the disk, the next is known as "LP2" these have slightly inferior sound quality but a greater amount can fit on, finally "LP4" again is worse quality but the maximum amount of songs on one disk is available. I personally opt for the "LP2" as it seems to be a happy medium. I've seen Mini Disks which hold up to 3GB of music on them, however just so you know these disks are not compatible with this player.
Overall this is a good player if you don't have many tracks you want on disk, unless you don't mind having to search though stacks of disks to find the one you want, the is especially a problem if your are disorganized like myself. But I think that for the person with more money, and more songs to store should go for something like a high storage MP3 player.
I decided to rate this product as average as it's only good for a small markete of people, for the rest of us, it's average.
Advantages: High speed download, superb sound, ultra lightweight Disadvantages: Pricey
One dull Saturday afternoon, I wandered into a Sony Centre and spotted a pocketsize silver box on display. It had this appealing futuristic look, and was so light I hardly noticed that I was holding it. Five minutes later, I was £179 poorer!
The little thingy is Sony MZ-N505, codename Net MD Walkman, or Sony Portable MiniDiscRecorder. MiniDisc was invented by Sony and uses a new compression technology to store digital sound in less space (up to 5 hours playback time in one MiniDisc). It’s very similar to floppy disk; you may record, play or erase any music file, and edit the track names (like filenames). A blank MiniDisc costs around £1.50. The MZ-N505 can record audio files (MP3, WAV and WMA) from PC via a USB cable, or CD audio tracks from a CD player (or CD Rom drive). It comes with a very user-friendly software to handle ...

It was my birthday and to my great surprise and joy I was given a sony MZ-R900.This is a minidisc player.In case you don?t know what a minidisk is, it is a revolutionary invention by Sony.A minidisc is a 2.5" square cartridge with a digital optical disc inside.It is designed for recording music onto and can be recorded over 1 million times without a loss of sounds quality!Most minidiscs can hold 80 minutes of music on them in normal mode.
Anyway back to the minidisc player.The Sony MZ-R900 is available in silver or blue (mine is blue) and will fit in the palm of your hand!It is extremely light too!As soon as I received the minidisc player I ,naturally, wanted to try it out.To my horror an extremely thick manual fell from the box!Luckily the minidisc player was extremely simple to use and understand and soon I was enjoying my new gift ...
Advantages: Small, excellent battery life, flexible Disadvantages: Poor headphones, can't get it off my girlfriend
Well, I?ve owned my little mini-discrecorder for about 6 weeks and I still haven?t figured out why I brought the little beastie! I know that I?ve always wanted one and finally took the plunge a few weeks ago, but when I try and pin down WHY I wanted one or why I finally bought it, I?m a bit stumped. Maybe I?ll be able to tell you when I?ve finished writing this!
So, probably best to start at the beginning and tell you what ?Mini-disc? is.
Well, Minidisc is a fairly new format for storing and recording and storing music. It was invented by Sony and released onto the market back in 1993. If you?ve never seen a minidisc, they are like little CD?s, about 7cms in diameter and encased in a plastic cover to protect them from dust and the possibility of being scratched. The whole thing looks a bit like like a small 3 1/2? diskette ...
