The thing is, the NH600D I can only find for exorbitant prices new OR used (at least 120+, not counting shipping) and the DH710 I can find for 100, with shipping added in, brand new, at most places. So with that factored in, would you still reccomend the NH600D? Now you mentioned the battery life; does the DH710 run poorly w/battery life or? Thanks for answering all these, I really appreciate it

One more question guys; which is better in your opinion? (i only want to listen to music, but have ability to have all types of mp3's converted/direct mp3 placement on Hi-MD's) Sony MZ-DH710 Hi-MD Walkman Digital Music Player or Sony MZNH600D Hi-MD MiniDisc Walkman ??

oh shit, nice nice, thanks for informing me of that... now i can't decide between 30 or 120... ><

I just tried that, and not only did my computer crash after three or four failed attempts, the mp3 player wouldn't even *respond* to any of that.

But it's so expensive.. and it can play them natively yes, but isn't that natively in file size as well, so you can only fit about 20 or so to a HD-minidisc? or did I hear wrong on that? (i'm used to 3 hours of music per minidisc, etc.) where do you reccomend for good cheap prices on the DH710?

Well, if it was out of adjustment when it recorded it, how come it works in the N505 still? also, yeah, i'm 100% sure it's the NE sucking. Should the NE take like a full 45 seconds to a minute to load most songs? btw, i've tried both fully blank discs + my old discs to record onto/play; neither work. do you think it could be the sonic-stage version? I remember using one that started up that came with the 505; the one that came with the 410 is 1.0 sonic stage, and i upgraded to 4; 4 let me upload as many as I wanted, but only of certain types. so maybe it's that? (the sonicstage that came with the 505 let me use 99% of my mp3's, and 99% of them worked (i know it converts to ATRAC3, but i'm saying they converted+transfered; my problem is they'll convert, but not transfer) on the 505, but on the 410, more than 50% of them will only convert but not transfer)

I own an NE410 NetMD player. I used to own a N505 NetMD player. I've made tons of disks for the latter, and they worked fine on the N505. I'm trying to use those same exact discs for the NE410, and it refuses to play some of the tracks. Is it possible/known if the NE410 is "outdated" and cannot play certain mp3 file types that are on discs? Or if the N505 can play special types/more types than the NE410?

So then to your knowledge, do different MD players actually allow different tracks? i.e. the one N505 will play mp3's that the 410 may not be able to?

YES that is the mp3 player I used to have. I cannot seem to find that on ebay/in stores; is it really that rare? Also, could it be because of my certain model i have now why this is screwing up? Remember; -I once had the MZ-N505 NetMD player and it played all of the mp3's i'm trying to upload *fine* -Those exact same mp3s, unchanged, will not play on my new player, on the exact same discs that I had working 100% on my MZ-N505 NetMD -Nor will those mp3's upload to my current MD player so do you think it's more the MD player than the sonic stage itself or? Like since this could be an old version I have of the NetMD series, maybe it's not able to read certain types or?

Ok, I used to own a NET MD player about two years ago. I forgot the model type, but it was golden, was pretty recent, and looked like the MZ-NE410, but had more buttons besides of course just the ones on the MZ-NE410. I can't seem to find pictures of it *anywhere* however. Anyways, I was AOK with that one, until my house got robbed and I lost it due to this. I was unable to find this MD player again, so I settled on a "brand new" MZ-NE410, or at least it was new according to onthegopc.com . I got it, and the first thing it does is clicks like hell when you try to play ANYTHING in it. I tried my old dists, my new blank discs, anything, and it just wouldn't even show anything. I sent it back to them and they reported that "installing the software" would help, which as i'm sure you know, is bullshit because I told them I had used discs from my previous MD player, and "installing the software" really wouldn't have helped. I did it anyways, it was sonic stage 1.0, which is horrible. If it helps to pinpoint my old MD player, it came with Open MD Jukebox, and Sonic Stage 2.0 if i remember right. So now by some miracle, i'm able to actually get the damn MZ-NE410 to load up my old discs. Problem is, half+ of the songs won't even *play*. I know these discs work; I tried them out on a friend's MD shortly thereafter. In Sonic Stage, 1.0, I tried uploading songs to my blank discs. It would always upload two songs perfectly, then refuse to upload anymore. I tried upgrading to 4.0; now i'm able to upload as many as I please.... as long as they're some mysterious type. All of my files i'm uploading are mp3s converted to LP4 format; but for some bizarre reason, some of them will *always* work and some will *never* work, crashing both my computer and the MD player program and the MD player itself. I know these worked with my old one, so... suggestions on why this is happening, what to do to get around it, how to fix it, etc. would be really appreciated also if you have any idea what my old model was, that would be much appreciated too. - Operating system version and service pack level: Windows XP, latest packs - SonicStage and Simple Burner versions: 4.0 (and 1.0 to start with) - Whether codec packs have been installed on the system: in relation to the MD player or programs, none besides the soundstage upgrade - the model of the recorder/downloader involved: MZ-NE410 - Basic computer hardware info, including as a minimum: CPU type/speed; amount of RAM installed; USB interface version [1.0, 1.1, or 2.0]: CPU = Intel Pentium 4, 2.0GHZ, 256MB RAM, USB 2.0 - List of applications that were running when the problem occurred: I always have McAfee anti-virus running, as well as MSN messenger, and otherwise, nothing else ever runs besides those, at startup, MSN messenger starts as well, but i always close that off.
