Sony MZ-NF610 High Speed Net MD Walkman Recorder Review

I bought this little guy 2 years ago right in the heart of the MP3 player craze. Everyone I knew had an ipod or some alternative, which they paid 0-0 dollars for. I did a little research and had always been curious about this technology since I had seen it in the mid-90's. After price and review comparisons, I picked up the Net-MD 610... and boy am I happy. br /br /A friend warned me when I bought it telling me that he was done with anything that played an external media source (discs) because they will always skip. But after over 2 years and having dropped it several times. Once recently at the gym where it skidded off the treadmill and onto the floor several feet away, not only did it not skip, but it kept playing. The various compression formats this player has available to it makes it able to hold up to and over 5 hours of music. All for less than 0. I say thats pretty darned good. br /br /My only regret is that I bought this just before the Hi-MD format came out which made it able to nearly double its capacity... but I'm very pleased and still haven't bought an MP3 player. So if you are thinking about a player, check it out. You get a FM/TV tuner with external recording available. (Record directly from CD or radio) Which my girlfriend loves. Also the discs are cheap, about for 5. Which ups your capacity for very very cheap. And they can be burned an infinite number of times, rearranged in their queue, and have multiple or single songs deleted. It acts like an MP3 player inside a small little disc. Check out this guy before blindly buying into an MP3 player. It might not be for you, but maybe it will.

Amazon.com Product Description The MZ-NF610 Net MD Walkman recorder provides unrivaled versatility, offering not only MD playback, but a special tuner for listening to AM-FM radio as well as TV and weather-band programming right from the remote control. The unit's SonicStage Jukebox software stores and manages digital music files, custom playlists, and music transfers, and bookmarking lets you program favorite songs in real time during playback. The MZ-NF610 offers high-speed transfer from a PC via a direct USB connection (up to 32x speed in LP4 mode) and 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-NF610 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. p The Easy Skip group-folder function helps organize songs into albums or groups. Once the songs are transferred to the MZ-NF610, it's easy to skip from group to group. Besides the bundled SonicStage software and SonicStage simple burner application, the MZ-NF610 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. p 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 you to the Musiclub Web site, and provides 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 rechargeable battery. pBHere's how you can use the included Sonic Stage Software to manage your music files:/Bbrpimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/sonicstage.gif"p clear=left Why NetMD?

Broke within 6 months of light usage - H. Song - LA, CA United States
I liked the idea of CD like storage so I bought the MD recorder.., but this unit just broke within 6 months of very light use. I would stay away from Sony in the future.

Walkman is like the Silver Model, Comes with a radio. and High Speed - Adam Ebel - Virginia Beach, VA
This Walkman is much better and good features, except it does not record br /from the radio. This recorder is just like the MZ-NF510 CK that comes with a car kit. One thing different about it that it has a radio on the remote control. The radio works good, but the problem is that you cannot hear the sound better than if you connected to another radio source while recording, the volume control is on the remote control for the radio. Another thing about this model, is that it has high speed recording which is good for Sonic Stage users who make a lot of mini discs and needs the power supply, instead of just the batteries. This walkman would be a great peripheral device for making unlimited amounts of mini disc compilations. There is no microphone input so you would need a mic mixer to do live performances or home recordings to the line input. br /br /Reception : The radio however is ok, the AM reception is poor and FM and TV (well no TV signals after 6/12/2009) is mediocre. This one is good br /for just local FM station listening, but like I said you cannot recordbr /your favorite radio music programs. The weather radio reception is br /poor. br /br /
