Sony MZ-N505S Net MD Walkman Player/Recorder (Silver)

It does not matter if you have a minidisc player or recorder, though, as long as it is in good shape, you can use it for those purposes if you get one. Unless you're planning on ripping MiniDiscs to your computer, don't expect to rip them easily. Unless there are serious upgrades to peripheral hardware (laptops) or a quality professional sound card in a PC, this will not be possible. There is no new software that is necessary to use this with a direct digital connection and it is not only outdated and no longer supported but there is also a high risk of installing it on a modern machine. There is nothing to make it As a result of my efforts to make this work, I managed to destroy the OS on two new machines, including the (Note that My current job is a 25-hour a week, full-time position A background in hardware and software engineering)
Proceed.

The unit can be installed and 5 CDs are ready to be added within less than 2 hours. I spent more time reading the instructions than necessary, as the program is very intuitive. I plan to record my favorite songs so they can be played in the car with the MD receiver. The summer is the perfect time to use this little guy for riding the mower and traveling. The price is great and the value is great.

As I did, if you plan to use this with a computer, you won't be happy with it. Buying this unit in June 2002 was a great decision. Whenever I try to use the software I run into endless problems. Please do not get me wrong I have no problem at all with other software. Despite my relative inexperience with linux, I have been playing with it for eight Known as OpenMG Jukebox, the software is a popular choice for music lovers. If you want to install it you'll need to install the entire CD. That takes FOREVER. Please do not open any applications while it is installing. You will have to start over if you do. As soon as you install OpenMG, Simple Burner and OpenMG Jukebox will be available. Sony's music format (ATRAC3) is used to convert other music formats (mp3, wma, etc), whereas use of the USB cable to record a CD to the MD player is used in the former. It is very easy to use To use OpenMG is frustrating, it takes too long to start up and even longer to respond to my inputs. Sometimes it won't even start. When attempting to add an MP3 to the player, it will convert the music first and store the converted data on the hard drive. Secondly, if you want the highest quality (the SP mode, since all my MP3s are 320Kbps), transferring it to the unit can take a long time. LP2 (SP mode = 292kbps bitrate, SP mode = 132kbps bitrate) Actually, it records at 1x speed, which means you have the same amount of time to listen to it as to record it. In LP4 mode, I was unable to view the picture properly because the quality was too poor. After that, I move onto Simple Burner, which is said to be much more robust than To burn "audio cds", I use the Nero imagedrive. After that, I use the MD player to burn the virtual audio cd. It is not possible to select, or at least obtain, high quality (SP mode) from this mode. There is only LP2 and LP4 available. The quality of software is as follows Among those who grade OpenMG Jukebox the worst are those who rate the application's quality as poor. I had a crash on my desktop 2 In the past two months, three times have occurred. Two times, I was also unable to boot my computer from the USB driver. I have had problems starting my Jukebox sometimes, and then I have to start it again Install the program and perform all the conversion steps to not care about the software at all, as its website openmg is always updated with the same version 2, which is always the same as in version 1. The patch was never applied, the update wasn't made, and the software was buggy. There's nothing I'd rather be doing right now. If you are planning on using it with a computer, try not to expect too much from it.

Purchase it from an authorized dealer. Another one is on the way, and this time it will be from a dealer and not from a friend. The person who sold it to me didn't tell me that you could pausing the playback. In addition, in recording the settings kept changing from long play to short play, which is not good.

This digital walkman from Sony is a very good brand, I got it for a friend who works in a radio studio, and he likes it a lot.

Although it's good, you have to carry mini discs with you.

At the time that I went to purchase this item, it stated that it was "like According to the seller, the only things wrong with it are mark in paint or screen, so that makes me believe it only has a mark on the screen or paint. My experience with this product was great when I received it. There's no sound coming from the left side unless I use a rubberband to press the plug toward the backside of the device, though I might be able to hear the full effect if I don't move once it starts working. I guess it goes without saying that I am not happy with what was told to me and what I got.

This is one of the best models in the minidisc world, as well as having a fantastic color. Hope to find others at a reasonable price!.
