Product Description:

Amazon.com Product Description:
This stylish, versatile player sports a sturdy, all-Magnesium construction, and lets you store up to 45 hours of digital music and bring it with you on a single, skip-free, 1 GB Hi-MD MiniDisc that holds far more songs than traditional MiniDisc media. With Sony's advanced ATRAC3plus compression, more audio files can be burned to Hi-MD media or for that matter, to a standard MiniDisc. Music can be compressed to 132, 105, 66, 64 or 48 kbps (kilobits per second), so you can store more music or record at higher fidelity. By compressing at 48 kbps, users can enjoy 45 hours of music on one Hi-MD disc or 13 hours of music on one standard, 80-minute MiniDisc.

In addition to ATRAC3plus format compatibility, the Walkman is compatible with MP3, WMA, WAV, and ATRAC3 audio formats. When you want to record, the USB connection delivers burn rates at up to 100x for your MP3s and CDs. A handy Jog Dial provides easy navigation, and SonicStage and MD Simple Burner Application software lets you group your tunes and customize your playing environment.

This player also includes line-in functionality for a line, mic, or mini analog optical inputs, and a USB-in port, as well as a handy USB cradle, for easy PC connection and charging the included rechargeable battery. You'll also get such niceties as headphone volume control along with the included set of headphones. And, the player's 3-line LCD display provides album, artist and song title information on a clean, single screen. You can even store data from your computer, such as documents and presentations, on this player via its USB interface.

NOTE: The MZNH1's recording features and bundled software are not compatible with the Mac OS operating system.

What's in the Box:
Sony MZNH1 Hi-MD Mini Disc Walkman, 3-line backlit LCD remote with jog dial, removable Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, battery carrying case, USB cradle, AC adaptor, digital cable, headphones, SonicStage software CD-ROM with MD simple burner application, USB cable

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - OK - if you don't have a MP3 player, this will do!
Guess this product is sort of superceeded by iPod's and other MP3 players, but if you have an old minidisc player and want extra capacity along with compatibility with your old MD's, this is the way to go. In the end it is now just another gadget in my drawer of toys, with very infrequent use. Sound is in my opinion better than mp3 format files, but limited storage 1G is still too small.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Great sound quality! But only one star! why? read this:
MD's are one of the things I love best. Ever since 92, I'm this device biggest fan. However, with 1G of information, Sony succeeded to F**k this product pretty bad.
Why?
Terrible software. Actually terrible isn't even tickle the real definition of the sonic stage, but I suspect that the real word to describe it can't be published on respectable site like Amazon. First of all you can't just transfer your music - you have to re-encode it. For the regular net MD, that's not so bad, for 30 ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Marvellous Technology
After my old MD didn't work as good as before, I decided to buy a new one and the best one so I chose the most expensive coz I believe that if the price is so high then there must be something good in it.
Yeah! I bought MZNH1 I was innocent coz I didn't know about the USB stuff and all but when I use it I was surprised to see that this tiny ,thin aluminium Hi-MD player could do a lot of things. The sonic stage 3.2 is invincible. The one that's attached in the box is sonicstage ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wow!! You won't regret it.
I just got my Sony MZ-NH1 from warehouse123.com today as it is not available in amazon.com anymore. Great expectations, I have been waiting for while to get it and I finally got one device.

Look? It just looks great, robust, magnesium made with perfect design. Sound? Just unbelieably good and it will make other mp3 player to shame. This product is phenomenal, unbelievably great sound and construction! Great control using the remotes due to it's jogdial, and enough details have been shown on ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A piece of frustration
If you're a sucker for frustration, then this item is for you. This MZNH1 is only useful for listening to music. The other features it boasts for doesn't work. You'll end up loosing valuable work. I used it to record minutes of the meeting and it bombed out at the end of the meeting. It started displaying AuFileERR and it erased the content of the entire disk. Chatting with the help desk didn't help. I've only had it for a month and it's driving me nuts already. The Sony warranty is so useless because it's ... Read More
