The versatility of MiniDisc, with the capabilities of an MP3 player! Sony's MZ-NF520 Net MD Walkman offers simple drag-and-drop transfer of music files to MiniDisc at speeds up to 32 times faster than real-time. Over an hour of music transfers in just minutes. You also get handy software that allows you to dub CD tracks directly to MD without saving files on your computer's hard drive.

The included remote puts track access right at your fingertips. And its built-in FM/TV/weather band tuner expands your playback options: catch a radio broadcast, the audio from your favorite TV show, or even the local weather.

MDLP record mode lets you store up to 5 hours of music using a single 80-minute blank MD perfect for taking lots of tunes on the go. To expand your portable library, just add more MDs! And, since it's MiniDisc, you get easy editing and titling with discs that are fully rewritable, nearly indestructible, and ultra-affordable.
