For some reason, MDs didn't get far, in spite of their recording quality for live music is, in my experience, unsurpassed.
I agree with "fCh" (GMT-5, USA) that its intended audience may be: "For die-hard Sony/gadgetry fans". Also with: "Gary Coombs 'TraderGary' (Atlanta, GA)" in that its copy protection simply sucks...
J. D. Sheppard (Carlsbad, NM USA) made the best review, including simple facts like: "The sound it produces is exceptional". And more personal: "I simply love the hardware. It is truly one of the marvels of 21st century technology. The software, called SonicStage, is another story".
I don't agree with the last two reviewers on the complaint that it doesn't include a mic from the start. I'd rather buy myself a better one if I need it, and am glad they keep to making the best available "basic product". If you could get to this specialized device, you know how to get a mic. Besides, nothing "included" could match a good pricey stand alone mic like Sony's!

I've never used the software, the headphones are crappy as expected, but the machine honours the Sony tradition of sturdy, nice and quality portable audio. The battery compartment is useful given it's hard to get those batteries now. The display

Sony MZ-N10 Net MD MiniDisc Player/Recorder (Silver) Specifications

Amazon.com Product Description The MZ-N10 Net MD Walkman recorder is the ultimate tool for creating great-sounding music mixes as well as live voice or music recordings. It transfers music at up to 64x speed, and the included SonicStage Jukebox software stores and manages digital music files, custom playlists, and music transfers, making it a cinch to transfer music to the device. A stereo minijack mic input accepts a range of microphones and is convenient for a variety of applications, and the unit comes with a built-in rechargeable battery capable of boosting battery life to 58 hours of playback when used in conjunction with a single AA battery.

Taking advantage of high-speed transfers from a PC via a direct USB connection, the MZ-N10 can record more than five hours of music on one 80-minute minidisc (using LP4 mode). It also uses Sony's skip-free G-Protection technology, which eliminates or reduces skipping during many active uses. The MZ-N10 is compatible with the RealOne music player and the pressplay.com online music subscription service. It plays back ATRAC3 files and supports multiple Internet audio formats, including MP3, WMA, and WAV. The unit provides up to 56 hours of continuous playback on one AA battery.

Recording is faster and easier than ever using the long-play LP4 mode and a supplied matching USB cradle with a direct connection to the jukebox. Placing the unit in the connected cradle also ensures that it automatically recharges.

The MZ-N10 also features an editing remote with a backlit LCD and a three-line dot-matrix display that shows nine characters per line for easy song searches and edits. Sony's Jog Dial navigator scrolls through track lists vertically to search for songs and groups--you can access desired points by simply rotating the dial with one finger then pushing it. A handy feature called Personal Disc Memory stores your preferred settings for listening volume and other functions when playing your favorite minidiscs.

The Easy Skip group-folder function helps you organize songs into albums or groups. Once transferred to the MZ-N10, you can easily skip from group to group. Besides the bundled SonicStage software and SonicStage simple burner application, the MZ-N10 also includes software for creatively organizing your music. MoodLogic software goes beyond typical jukebox applications, letting you compile music by mood or tempo rather than simply by artists and song titles.

MoodLogic corrects your file information by identifying and re-titling mislabeled tracks during ID3 tag cleaning. It also has a feature called Music Marker, which lets you "tag" music during playback. Once you reconnect the device to your PC, MoodLogic retrieves the marks, connects you to the Musiclub Web site, and provides you with information about the song and artist as well as with links to download new tracks, purchase CDs, or discover similar artists.

Here's how you can use the included Sonic Stage Software to manage your music files:

GoVideo was a pioneer in the DVD Recorder industry and I've owned other GoVideo equipment that have worked well for years. This unit has most of the features I wanted, though the manual was a bit tough to decipher. If you're willing to put the time into reading it though, I don't think you'll be disappointed. This is one of the two brands of DVD Recorders I'd give top ratings to.

GoVideo R6530 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder Overview

Create and edit your own DVDs directly from your TV or camcorder. Archive valuable memories from VHS tapes or record your favorite television shows to high-quality, long-lasting DVD discs.The new GoVideo R6530 DVD recorder easily and conveniently records your favorite television programs to higher quality DVD discs, enabling you to never have to lift a VHS tape again! GoVideo has made it simple - whether recording TV programs, archiving family videos, or just playing back DVDs and CDs in a wide variety of today's hottest formats, the R6530 DVD Recorder does it all.

GoVideo R6530 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder Specifications

GoVideo's R6530 DVD recorder lets you easily record your favorite television shows and treasured home videos to high-quality, long-lasting DVD+R (write-once) and DVD+RW (rewriteable) discs. The recorder's built-in NTSC TV tuner and onscreen user interface permits up to eight timer recordings over a single month, with five recording speeds providing between one and six hours of content on each DVD disc. The R6530's high-quality recordings and easy operation make it a perfect replacement for the traditional VCR.

The R6530's versatile playback features include progressive-scan video outputs and support of MP3, JPEG, and Kodak Picture CDs. A variety of video and audio inputs--including front-panel connections for fast, temporary hookups--grant connection to virtually all televisions and home theater components. An easy-to-use full-function remote control commands all the action.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the R6530 stands ready to deliver the full playback potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

When recording, the unit automatically creates a new disc title every time you start a new recording. You can then add chapters to these recordings manually or have them automatically inserted at five-minute intervals.

DVD+RW discs require no finalizing: you can record, eject, and play them with minimal fuss, thanks to background formatting. This feature, which lowers total burning time, is an advantage over the "dash" formats. Other DVD+RW advantages include on-disc content editing and multisession writing. And, through DVD+RW and DVD+R's compatibility with most existing DVD players, they're a great way for you to share your special memories with family and friends.

To help you navigate the transition from VCR to DVD recording, GoVideo's "white-glove customer care" includes free telephone assistance in making your first recording, should you need it.

What's in the Box
DVD player/recorder, a blank DVD+RW disc, a full-function remote control, remote batteries, an RF coaxial audio/video cable (3 feet), a stereo analog audio/composite-video interconnect (3 feet), a quick-reference guide, a warranty card, and a user's manual.
