"Mini Disk Players..."

Im hopefully going to get a MD player in the near future... now im going to splash out and go for the expensive ones ( about £200+)It must have Net MD! If you have one or can recommend a rather nice one.. can you post it in here? Also which ones to miss if there are any.

thanks for your help.. jc

You can convert any format you want into MP3 with ease and if you encode at 192kbps you've got CD quality. I find the two days (plus) worth of music encoded at CD quality and stored in my player not much bigger than a pack of cigarettes very useful indeed.

Easy to use? I stick a firewire cable between my laptop and iPod and then the software automatically sends across any new mp3s from my computer to the Pod. Takes less than a minute to send a whole album and it's done without typing a single command into the PC.

How about you find out a little about the equipment before spouting off that drivel.

But then you can only play MP3s. Which is useless, and MD players, especially netMD ones are much easier to use and have better quality.

True. This is the machine I have, and it's my walkman, my home player and my car player (with tape adaptor).

Note: Net MD will allow you to transfer cd to md and mp3 to md, but not md to MP3. Really annoying as the reason I got a net md was to get my mds onto my mp3 player, but there you go.

Thanks for the posts... i was looking at the Sony MZ-N707.. its about the price i was aiming for.. seems quite a nice little machine. thanks jc

Get an Archos Multimedia 20, MP3 player/recorder, MP4 player/recorder*, Digital Picture Viewer/Recorder*

*With DVCR add on

Splash the cash on an iPod - nothing comes close to it. Can't understand the fuss over NetMD, get a MP3 player with a good sized hard drive in it. You can send data to it much faster and store even more.

MZ N1

Its all you'll ever need...

discs won't play on other players depending on what version of atrac they support the Sony n1 does atrac3 and anything recorded in LP2 or LP4 mode wont play on my old Sharp md

i got an n1 sony net md its great but the net software is cack though. it converts mp3s to wav and saves them on your hard-drive >:( then i have to delete them to get the space back
