Amazon.com Product Description
This stylish, versatile player sports a sturdy, all-Magnesium construction, and lets you store up to 45 hours of digital music and bring it with you on a single, skip-free, 1 GB Hi-MD MiniDisc that holds far more songs than traditional MiniDisc media. With Sony's advanced ATRAC3plus compression, more audio files can be burned to Hi-MD media or for that matter, to a standard MiniDisc. Music can be compressed to 132, 105, 66, 64 or 48 kbps (kilobits per second), so you can store more music or record at higher fidelity. By compressing at 48 kbps, users can enjoy 45 hours of music on one Hi-MD disc or 13 hours of music on one standard, 80-minute MiniDisc.

In addition to ATRAC3plus format compatibility, the Walkman is compatible with MP3, WMA, WAV, and ATRAC3 audio formats, and includes an AM/FM radio built into the remote. When you want to record, the USB connection delivers burn rates at up to 100x for your MP3s and CDs. A handy Jog Dial provides easy navigation, and SonicStage and MD Simple Burner Application software lets you group your tunes and customize your playing environment.

This player also includes line-in functionality for a line, mic, or mini analog optical inputs, and a USB-in port, as well as a handy USB cradle, for easy PC connection and charging the included rechargeable battery. You'll also get such niceties as headphone volume control along with the included set of headphones. And, the player's 3-line LCD display provides album, artist and song title information on a clean, single screen. You can even store data from your computer, such as documents and presentations, on this player via its USB interface.

NOTE: The MZNH1's recording features and bundled software are not compatible with the Mac OS operating system.

Product Description
Transferring, editing, and finding tracks is simpler than ever with the MZ-NH1! This Walkman combines the advantages of MiniDisc (like the ability to edit songs by combining or dividing them into shorter tracks) with the convenience of an MP3 player -- Sony's ingenious Hi-MD technology provides easy transfer of PC audio to MiniDisc at blazing speeds of up to 100X! And this player can pack up to 45 hours of music onto one sophisticated Hi-MD MiniDisc. When you want more storage, just add more discs! The in-line remote boasts a backlit, 3-line LCD and Vertical Jog Dial®, making it easy to navigate through tracks, and even edit them, in dark or light settings. An included USB cradle/charging stand lets you transfer music and recharge the battery all at once. Plus, this player weighs just 3 ounces -- tote it wherever you want to enjoy your favorite tunes. The MZ-NH1 isn't just for PC music, either. A minijack input lets you record from just about any analog or digital audio source, like a cassette deck or CD changer. A mic input lets you connect a compatible microphone (see "Recommended Accessories") to capture live sound. And now, with Sony's advanced Hi-MD recording system, you can even capture full CD-quality sound to MiniDisc!
