 Not bad... May 17, 2003
...but why not just buy an iPod? What benfeits does the Sony have that the iPod doesn't? I'd love to hear your comments, because I'm thinking that I need a recording device, and that's the one thing theiPod won't do....yet.
 Stop Carrying All Those Cd's! May 6, 2003
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I've had this player for about 2 weeks now and in that time frame I've given away my portable cd player as well as my MP3 player. This little guy is the best! As with everything it could be better...but not much. It is the entry level product offered by Sony so you don't get some of the bells and whistles that you will with other players. Remember bells and whistles = $$. The portability factor alone makes it worth the price. I no longer have to carry books of cd's everywhere I go. I just pull the tracks off and make my own custom minicd's. I haven't had any problems with the software and I'm running XP (Professional). It could also be that I am using my 600 disc cd collection to make my minidiscs and not downloading files off the net. Incidentally, I use LP4 when recording and have come up with over 5 hours of music on one minidisc without the reported differences in sound quality... great for the road, the gym and the office. Battery consumption is awesome except when recording but then again, its only one battery. It would be nice if it had an AC Adapter and better headphones but for the price you're getting quite a bit already. Since it doesn't come with a carrying case you can purchase the armband case like I have and take your show on the road, blades, bike...just about everywhere. So Cool!! Get one you won't regret it.
Great Product. Use a different Software though May 4, 2003

Sony's MiniDisc players are good alternatives to other MP3 players. You can fit more music on cheap MD's, and have multiple MD's for the moods you are in.As for the software, Sony finally got wise and formed an agreement with realOne player to use it to download music to the player. Once you've loaded the netMD drivers, download the realOne player, and the plug in for Sony devices. You will be much happier in the long run.
Good hardware April 9, 2003

The hardware is solid, the max volume is very loud but not deafening, which is sometimes needed in crowded places where you need to zone out.
The sonicstage software feels clumsy and is not very intuitive. I reccomend this product but using a different software studio.
great cheap minidisc player March 26, 2003

In the land of musical choices, Sony's MZ-NE410 rates among the best. Pros: cheap, fast, long battery life, easy to use
Cons: no microphone option, buttons feel cheap, max volume may not be loud enough for some individuals system review Speed: The mini disc player has easy to use software that worked flawlessly with Windows ME. This mini disc player is only compatable with a computer and transfers at the rate of 32X. It is a NetMD so it is capable of handling many musical formats including MP3, WAV, and WMA. Use: This player lacks a microphone and can only be used to play and record music. It has G-protection so it will never skip. G-protection is an anti skip device invented by Sony. Instead of saving music onto the devices in system memory the laser inside the player moves while you move, preventing skips from occuring. The player is light and easy to carry around. It fits in a pocket snuggly unless you enjoy wearing tight jeans. According to the box, this mini disc player has a battery life of 54 hour. It runs on one AA battery... not included in the package. The headphones given are good but they don't look cool. I wish Sony would have included a pair of their stylish street headphones. Other than that I have noticed that the control buttons on this player feel cheap. I wish Sony would have made this player with sturdier buttons but you get what you pay for. mini disc vs mp3: This player is the same price as an mp3 player but it holds more music. One mini disc holds up to five hours of music. Mini discs cost $ whereas memory for mp3 players cost large amounts of money ranging from $ to $. An mp3 player with 128 MB can hold about 2 1/2 hours of music. The advantages of MP3 players is the removeable memory used in mp3 players can be used for other devices such as digital cameras. Conclusion: This mini disc player is well worth the money I paid for it. Go get one unless you need microphone capabilities. Microphone capabilities can be used to create bootleg music at concerts, and record personal voice memos. If you can forego those options you can save yourself $50.
