The Sony MZ-N710 Net MiniDisc Walkman offers great looks, a compact design, up to 85 hours battery life and the ability to store over five hours of music on one 80-minute MiniDisc.MiniDisc technology has come on in leaps and bounds these past few years. As the units have become smaller, the battery life and storage capacity have increased. The MZ-N710 is a compact unit that fits nicely into a pocket or in your hand. The player boasts an LCD display for track listings and other such information, as well as offering all the buttons you'll need to get the most out of the device. For direct audio recording the user has the option of microphone, digital optical and line-in sockets. Those with a PC can connect the MZ-N710 to their computer via the USB socket.
Connecting the unit to your computer via USB allows you to transfer CD audio, MP3, WMA and WAV files using the included SonicStage software. The software converts the audio files into Sony's ATRAC TYPE-S format before transfer. You can also change the audio quality setting to give yourself more music per disc. When it comes to recording, the MZ-N710 does an admirable job too. With the Quick mode you can have faster cueing and FF/RW speeds in exchange for battery life. The unit also offers a bookmark track function for easy access to relevant recordings.
The MZ-N710 is powered by a rechargeable Ni-MH battery which is charged via the included cradle. There is also the option of adding an addition 'AA' type battery via a connectable battery dock. The additional battery dock will be a godsend to those who plan to be away from the charging cradle for any length of time. The remote control also serves as the main conduit to the player, allowing the main unit to be hidden out of eyes reach.
Aesthetics aside the sound quality is very good. The player comes with six graphic equaliser settings and a virtual surround mode to enhance your listening pleasure. While sounding like a whim, the virtual mode is actually very good and on testing, it actually took away that hard edge normally found when listening to music through headphones.
Overall this is a very comprehensive player and delivers the goods. The slim and compact aluminium body does convey a sense of durability and it looks like it could take a few knocks. The ability to add a further battery can be a lifesaver if you are out in the field. --Jason Denwood

The Sony MZ-N1 is a top of the range Net MD Walkman with full magnesium body. Sony's MiniDisc format became a portable digital music standard before the age of MP3s. Sadly, though, MiniDisc lost its flavour as MP3 players became ubiquitous. Sony aims to fan the flame up once more with their Net MD line, MiniDisc players that can also connect to your PC to transfer downloaded music. Despite some minor drawbacks, this pricey but versatile digital music player is generally impressive.Firstly, you can use the optical connection cable to transfer songs directly from your stereo (CD player, DVD player, Xbox, etc) to the Net MD. Like traditional MDs, the transfer takes place in real time, so a three-minute song takes three minutes to move. With Sony's OpenMG software, you can also move songs from your PC to the MD. But your music files must be converted to the OpenMG standard before being moved over, which slows down the transfer rate. Music moves at the rate of about a minute per three-minute song (although songs transferred more quickly subsequent to the conversion process being completed). Ironically, Sony's Net MD Simple Burner, which allows you to transfer songs directly from CDs in your PC's CD-ROM drive to the MD, proved more efficient. It takes only 10 minutes to move an entire 45-minute album to the MD.
Unfortunately, you can officially only move tracks from MD to the PC that made the reverse trip: you can't load up the MD with songs from a CD in your stereo and then transfer them to your PC. We say "officially" because there's a workaround: connect the MD's headphone output to your soundcard's input and then catch the music with a software mixer. Users with an advanced audio setup such as Creative Labs Extigy can easily handle the process.
Transfer caveats aside, the Net MD is a well-designed digital music player with excellent sound output. Its mid-cord remote control, complete with back-lit LCD display, clips onto your shirt and puts tools for manipulating the sound menus close at hand. And the inexpensive MD format means that you can load up lots of your favourite albums (at the highest compression level of LP4, an MD disc can hold almost 300 minutes of music). In addition to the rechargeable battery, you can connect a single AA battery to the Net MD to increase your play time to up to 110 hours.
It's not an inexpensive player, but its increased versatility, expansive removable media and long battery life make it worth the extra dough. The MZ-N1 is supplied with a battery charging stand, Open MG Jukebox software, USB cable, optical cable, Fontopia headphones, rechargeable battery, dry battery case, AC adaptor and carrying case (belt-clip type). --J Curtis

The Sony MZ-E300 is a simple piece of hardware with a single job, playing MiniDiscs while on the move. If that's all you need then it's a winner. This is Sony's entry point into the wonderful world of portable MiniDiscs. The MZ-E300 has a fairly basic specification, but still manages to have that typical Sony style about it. The dinky blue design is compact and only the bulge for the single AA battery spoils the clean lines. It's lightweight too, at under three ounces without the battery. The plastic case is a little prone to scuffing though. The connections are kept to a bare minimum; the headphone jack and that's it. There's not even an input for an external power supply. Luckily battery life is good, with alkaline batteries you should see over 30 hours. If you switch to rechargeables you can expect significantly less, so you might like to carry a spare. There's a bass boost, which you'll be using a lot, and twenty seconds worth of shock protection. Some form of shock protection is vital. Once experienced, you'll never want a player without it.The LCD screen is rather small and you don't get to see track names, which is a pity. There's no backlight either. The MZ-E300 is a MiniDisc player only, it doesn't record, so you'll either need to have access to another recordable MiniDisc system or stick to pre-recorded discs. This is the only real problem, you are probably going to want to record your own MiniDiscs to listen to on the move.
On a positive note, the sound quality produced is excellent--which is in itself a very good reason to consider the MZ-E300. The MiniDisc format is Sony's baby and it consistently produces top-notch MiniDisc hardware. The MZ-E300 may lack the bells and whistles of more expensive devices but does what it sets out to do with style. It's best suited as a partner to a full-size MiniDisc player, so you can take your own sounds on the road. --Miles Berkeley
