Amazon.com Product Description

This stylish player lets you store up to five hours of digital music and bring it with you on a single, skip-free MiniDisc for about the price of a large coffee. The Net MD is compatible with the MP3, WMA, WAV, and ATRAC3 audio formats, and even comes with a MiniDisc so you can start recording right away. Its USB connection delivers burn rates at up to 32x for your MP3s and CDs. A handy Jog Dial provides easy navigation, and the SonicStage and MD Simple Burner applications let you group your tunes and customize your playing environment.

Using MD Simple Burner

MD Simple Burner allows you to record music from an audio CD in your computer to the Net MD, without first ripping the tracks to your computer.

Using SonicStage

SonicStage allows you to import audio to your computer from CDs and the Internet and then transfer the data to an MD.

The player's three-line LCD display provides album, artist, and song title information on a clean, single screen. There's an AM/FM/TV/weather radio built into its remote, as well as a headphone jack and headphones, but the single AA battery, which you'll need if you want to use the device away from your computer, is not included. Battery life is estimated at a maximum of 48 hours.

sony mz-nf520d walkman by .. Pamela Foss (North Shore, MA)
i love this product. the radio is a plus to me, though at times i have seen am/fm in the sellers text - but there is no am that i ahve yet to figure out. have never heard anything on the tv or weather portion (could be the area i am in). yet, have ordered myself another one as a backup.

Sony Net MD's Still Have Their Place by .. Michael Lloyd Welch (Michigan)
I read a lot of reviews, and I've learned two things: #1 Can't please everybody. #2 If you take TOO much stock in what you read, you'll never buy anything. Last year I was looking to buy a higher end keybaord and every good review I read, some others tanked it down. I don't ever before remember seeing such a wide scattered variety of opinions on this Sony Net MD, but here's mine. This for me, is perfect. I'd buy 10 of them. Some don't like the idea that you can't record other MD's back to your computer, or the softwarte or ipods are better or whatever. You may not use it for what I do, but this is perfect for 2 very important uses for me. I'm in a cover band (we do not write our own songs), but its so easy to use mini disks and the remotes for them. For practices, we use Sonys MDS-JE-480 home stereo MD player(about $150.00) It's better than using CD's (Cause you don't have to keep changing them for every time you need to listen to the next song), or mp3's, computers, or anything else I've EVER used. You can add, move, or delete songs as you need, or erase the MD completely to use over again(try that on a CD!). The other thing I use it for is playback of a baseball game. My other recorder records the game(xm radio has made this part a dream come true)and this unit is my playback, so I can listen to the games ANYTIME-ANYWHERE. And there's one more thing: It will play back my old music albums that are out of print. My other recorder can record digital or analog and the MD walkman will play either one back on the disk, and now with prices cheap, they're a steal...something for everybody!

I've been looking for these MP3 players & recorders for 3 years,luckily I found you guys with them.I love the portability of my music(jazz).I like the Sony minidiscs better than the iPod.Thanka

sonic stage is worthless by .. acro ()
ok guys lets make this simple DO NOT BUY ANY MINIDISC PLAYER the problem is this product promises to be able to transfer your music files to the minidisc and it cant it constantly hangs my machine (dell 8400 2GB ram ,3GHZ) i have reintalled my operating system XP then Vista in an attempt to get it to work it still doesnt so my brand new minidisc player is going into the bin.......sony is playing the fool they had a wonderfull product and hindered it with worthless software....if u want portable music buy an ipod instead you wont regret it.
