Sony Net MD Walkman MZ-N707 Personal MiniDisc Player

Pros: Convenient size, excellent sound, fast NetMD transfer, looks cool. :-)

Cons: Sony's software is an interesting challenge to figure out.

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for an inexpensive, portable music solution, MD players are the way to go. And this Sony model is one of the best ways to get there.

Review: I was looking, as many of you may be, for a portable music solution. I wanted an MP3 player, but couldn't afford the Apple iPod I really wanted, and didn't want to buy a cheaper MP3 player with limited storage.

Then I came across MD players....

Pros: Size,number of songs that can fit on one minidisc..amazing,Sony brand of course,shockproof..really

Cons: SOFTWARE is terrible,takes a long time to convert songs to Sony format

The Bottom Line: Some things need improving while others do not.Sound quality is great,shockproof and very portable.Media can fit a large amount and is fairly cheap.Very nice

Review: When first looking at a portable music device (lets say a Walkman for short) to listen to my many Mp3s I was torn between 3 different types: a portable CD player that can play Mp3s on a CD-R/RW, an Mp3 player that can accept memory cards ...

Pros: long battery life up to 5 hours on each disc high speed uploading

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: Cheap small portable device that works. Disc are cheap to which mean you could have 15 hours of music with you on 3 discs.

Review: This machine really rocks! With 5 hours capacity on each disc, 50 plus battery life, high speed uploading, remote control, what more could you ask for. As an avid on the go type of person I love being able to have lots of music with me everywhere. T ...

Pros: Size, Sound, MDLP, Mic support, Fast Music Upload, Battery Life, Anti-shock, accessory bundle, Value

Cons: Remote, Software

The Bottom Line: I believe it is best portable music player out there for its price. Tons of features and tons of accessories. Now only if they did something about that software...

Review: I have always like MiniDisc Players because of its many features and uses. I have owned several of them including Sharp MS701, Sony MZ-R70, Sony MZ-R500, Sony MZ-R700 and finally Sony MZ-N707. What I like about MDs are that you can change MiniDisc as...

Pros: Excellent Sound, Low cost Media, Amazing Battery Life

Cons: Software is usable, but pretty bad.

The Bottom Line: Sweet device. Great Sound. Below Average Software. I bought two (N505 and N707)!

Review: I purchased the N707 for myself after purchasing the N505 for my wife, if that tells you anything. I was somewhat fed up with limited expansion options and poor battery life of MP3 players. The Net MD series of Walkmans from Sony are amazing. I am...

Pros: Sound, Battery Life, Media Cost

Cons: Button Layout

The Bottom Line: Cheap to use - Battery and Media. Easy to transfer files using Real ONE. Fully loaded. Great Sound. Durable.

Review: I did a lot of research when I wanted to buy a portable music device. I ended up buying this little Sony MD player in August '02.

Pros.

The primary purpose of this little device is to make my commute bearable. I have a pack of 6...

Pros: Small, 320 minutes on one mini-disk. Unbelievable battery life.

Cons: Could use a better remote.

The Bottom Line: If you want a good player that blows Mp3 players away, get a minidisc player. NetMD makes transfering music easier.

Review: I've owned 1 mp3 player and a CD Walkman and this Minidisc blows it away.

Before buying this player/recorder I did A LOT of research on the Internet. This player is 1 of 4 NetMD players offered by Sony and is right in the middle of the...

Pros: Great Sound! Small size, good control layout, song capacity.

Cons: Slow difficult to use software.

The Bottom Line: Buy for the great sound, the Hi MP3 LP capacity & the fabulous Sony quality. The software will take some getting used too.

Review: It's the end product, great sound, that will please you the most, getting there is not the easiest but you will be rewarded with magnificent stereo sound. Nothing else compares with the MD as a means to create good sounding music on the run. Battery life...

Pros: Small, light-weight, loaded with features, great sound.

Cons: OpenMG/Simple Burner software is very bulky, and takes along time to convert mp3's into ATRAC's

The Bottom Line: Low cost media with a high capacity, long batter life, portability, size, and sound quality live up to it's name.

Review: First of all, it most definately needs to be a Sony! My friends recommended that I get a Sony MD player because at that time I always had my CD player. So, in January of this year, I began my research and decided I'll get a job. I finaly had a big enough...

Pros: Easy to use, nicely designed, fast downloading time to MD

Cons: Difficult to use Open MG software, manual is not easily read

The Bottom Line: Overall, this is compact and good looking, and with its basic features, easily usable. The software lets it down but other than that, well worth the trouble

Review: This was my first MD player and I was having difficulty deciding between an MP3 player and MD. I wanted something that was going to be cheap to run, easily transported and inconspicuous. Although not inconspicuous, in comparison to other models on the...
