AFTER ALMOST 4 YEARS WOULD NOT TRADE FOR ANY I-POD The Sony MZ-NHF800 Hi-MD Minidisc Walkman is an awesome machine that is equipped with AM/FM/TV/Weatherband radio controls. With the 1 GB minidiscs and the minidisc-compatible technology that has been created since 2004, when I purchased this item, there is so much that you can do with this recorder that it is staggering!

However, when we downloaded the files (which we spent a month live recording) to the software included with the device, they were not able to be burned to a CD, and they were unable to be transferred back to the mini-disc. This came after extensive researching on the Sony web site, downloading the additional upgrade and WAV converter,... more info
