hi md can convert all standard minidisc into ~300mb discs doubling the capacity. recording in his sp you basically get std lp2 duration at cd quality this unit feels chunky and harder to read screen. but it seems more robust and easier to use with 1 hand. it also takes all standard accessories like stick remote charger and aa batt pack. you can get gumstick batteries for about 3 pound

I bought this because of nostalgia, the great memories it brought back to life. The experience I have had with it in the past. This player itself is around twelve years old but the build quality is stupendous. As I have mentioned, I did have one back in late 2000 which I unfortunately gave away to a family member whilst on holiday back home in Kashmir. He had grown very fond of it. Biggest mistake I made. However, glad to say I have rectified that mistake now by finding a virtually unused brand new one here on ebay. Talk about luck... That's the most astounding thing though, it looks, feels and sounds brand new. A true testament to "janetbabs" the previous owner. Not a single visible mark on the item anywhere. The unique remote control seems like it has never been used. Everything just oozes sheer quality and Sony's world renowned reliability. TWELVE YEARS ON and everything in the box still works 100%, and I mean everything!!! Try that with an Apple ipod!!??!! I had an Jeff Wayne's War of The Worlds album on minidisc and words just can not describe the sheer brilliance of the sound quality. Move over ipod you can never be as good and reliable as this, NEVER. Hats off to Sony for producing one of the best, if not the best portable personal mp3/WMA/ALTRAC3 MD Walkman players ever. The only downside, is the NH-10WM gumstick battery has not been used for quite sometime. Yet, having been in touch with Sony, they advise me that after several fresh charges and complete discharges the battery should return to maximum output condition, quite surprised at that. However, we'll see if they are right. They usually are. Anyhow, as luck has it and Lady luck has been with me on this one all the way, I have managed to pick up a brand new unused genuine Sony NH-14WM gumstick battery from Cash Converters of all places for a measley and surprising £14.00. They retail at about £35/£40 including p+p, even on ebay!! I already had in my possession a pair of the outstanding Sony MDR-EX500LP in-ear headphones, which I am using in place of the original supplied headphones. They still work perfectly with the remote controller but so do the 500's, they plug straight in. And oh the difference is undeniable. Sound quality is ust an amazing and mindblowing "WOW". This is the best thing I have ever bought on ebay and at a really fantastic price. I just can't do or go wrong. THANK YOU JANETBABS AND EBAY for a fantastic purchase and a exceptional item.....Seventh Heaven.Read full review
