MZ-M10

[samangelcat]

I'm a new member and have been playing around with MD for years. I have an MZ-M10 and it doesn't come up anywhere on the Sony site. I want to download some programs but can't find any. Also, is there any advantage to getting a newer version of the MD recorder? The MZ-M10 has hi-MD. thanks

The MZ-M10 is the Mac-compatible version of the MZ-RH910.

If you have a Mac, look for the Mac Transfer software in Downloads here or on Sony's site.

If you have a PC, get SonicStage 4.2 to run with Windows XP or SonicStage 4.3 to run with Vista.

You can go to Sony for SonicStage 4.3.

Here are 4.2 installer links.

The MZ-M10 is a nice second-generation unit, based on the MZ-RH910 (which I have), which has all the functions of the MZ-RH10 (or MZ-M100), but is not subject to the OLED burnout.

The only advantages you'll get if you buy a third-generation unit, the MZ-RH1 (or its MZ-M200 version), is the legacy MD upload capability, and uncrippled MP3 playback. But you'll almost lose portability (it is really inconvenient as a portable player, although it is a good portable recorder, because it remembers level settings).

In the future, when you need support for the MZ-M10 on a SONY site (software, drivers, manuals, etc.) just select the MZ-RH910 from the list of available units.
