Review: If you want a hard drive with 1000s of songs, the Sony MZ-N910 S Net MiniDisc Walkman isn't for you. It can hold 80 minutes of music, or on low quality 320 minutes of music, which is far below that of hard drive players. The MZN 910 is the top of the line portable MD recorder and I've loved using it. The battery life is absolutely supreme (I've easily got a months worth of listening from the rechargable batter at approx 2 hours a day), the remote control a complete joy to use and the design also very chic. The MD format is also extremely versatile. You can record using this unit from all types of sound sources, whether they be CD players, computers or even TVs. All you need is an appropriate analogue or optical (digital lead). They also have the ability to record from mics, so recording a live gig you recently attended is possible. But I'll only give it 3 stars. The NetMD feature is appalling. The sonicstage software is unusable, although people have found a workaround to the 3 check in/out system for MP3s, which is ridiculous. You may also want to wait another few months for the next generation of Minidiscs to come out, and they can hold 8 hours of music on one disc. The other negative concerns the output level. Due to a European law, the output level on this player is only 4.5mw. That is low compared to some of the older MD units I own. A great buy, but wait for Hi-MD which should blow this model away. |
