After using an MP3 player sometime I have to admit I had become somewhat biased against minidisc playres. I mean, they still use great big discs! My other complaint with them was that its time consuming to pick the songs you want to listen to at a particular time, and in the order you want. Then I found out about NetMDs. Suddenly having to put up with using discs wasnt that bad, especially as it meant I could now store over four hours of music on one disc without any noticeable difference in sound quality and the discs were cheap to buy, compared to mp3 flash memory cards.

Oh dear, what have you done Sony? I've a huge collection of LEGITIMATE MP3's and wanted a solution to listening on the move. So when I heard about Sony's Minidisk player that could store MP3's I jumped at the chance to own one. I got the MZN707 and a stylish piece of kit it is. Ooozing Sony build quality and style 100%. But thats where the good news ends. Sony has gone mad with its "Music Protection" system built into this device. The principle is sound, but in practice can mean your unable to transfer MP3's to the 707s, this is briefly how it works.. You use Sony's OpenMG software to import existing MP3's ...
