Sony NW-MS70D Network Walkman

How much space does 11 hours of music take up? If it's stored on the NW-MS70D's embedded memory, not much! This amazingly small player comes with Sony's SonicStage™ music management software, which provides easy transfer of MP3, WMA, ATRAC3™, and WAV files from your USB-capable computer. (Audio is played back in ATRAC3 or ATRAC3plus™ format.) And since the MS70D has no moving parts, your music never skips. This Walkman's perfect for active listening!

Plus, SonicStage is now compatible with the widely-used RealOne™ application; if you've already got RealOne, you can keep using it! The Walkman's backlit LCD lets you choose to view the track number, title, artist, or any of several other parameters. Need more storage capacity? Just add an optional MagicGate™ Memory Stick® Duo (available from Sony). Plus, you'll enjoy up to 33 hours of tunes from one charge of the built-in rechargeable. When it's time to power up the battery again, just slip the player onto the combination USB cradle/charging stand.

The player and SonicStage software support SDMI, a copyright protection system for digitally transferred music. You'll have access to a broadening range of music from major-label artists on the Web, as well as all the free MP3 content currently available.

Features

Recording Overview: This Network Walkman comes with Sony's SonicStage music management software, which provides easy transfer of MP3, WMA, ATRAC3, and WAV files from your USB-capable computer. The MP3, WMA, and WAV files are converted to ATRAC3 before they are transferred to the Network Walkman.

256MB Built-in Memory: The 256MB built-in memory provides over 11 hours of recording time when the music is recorded at 48 kbps.

MagicGate Memory Stick Duo Slot: The expansion slot allows you to take along additional music on an optional MagicGate Memory Stick Duo.

Skip-proof Design: Since the Network Walkman has no moving parts, it will provide you with uninterrupted playback, even during intense activity.

Backlit LCD: Backlighting makes it easy to view the display in low light situations. The unit may be set to backlight the display for three seconds after each operation, or battery power can be conserved by deactivating the backlight function.

Group Function: This function allows you to categorize consecutive tracks into a group for playback, recording, or editing. This is handy if you are recording multiple artists or CDs onto the Network Walkman.

Playback Mode: You can choose to play files in any of the following ways:

All Repeat: all tracks are played repeatedly
1 Repeat: the current track is played repeatedly
Shuffle Repeat: all tracks are played repeatedly in random order
Group Repeat: the current group is played repeatedly
Group Shuffle Repeat: all groups are played repeatedly in random order
Digital Sound Preset: You can adjust the treble and bass to suit your taste. The player can store two sets of treble and bass adjustments that can then be selected later during playback.

Automatic Volume Limiter System (AVLS): The AVLS function keeps down the maximum volume to protect your hearing.

Erasing Songs: You can erase a song stored in the built-in flash memory or Memory Stick Duo by track or group. If songs are erased, the SonicStage software recognizes them as songs to be checked in when the Network Walkman is connected to the computer that you used for checking the songs out.

"Easy Skip" Group/Folder Function: This function allows for easy navigation between multiple file folders transferred in a playlist.

Built-in Battery: This unit has a built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery.

Storage Function: In addition to music files, you can store other data on the Network Walkman from your computer's hard drive.

Supplied Software

SonicStage: SonicStage is an integrated software application that lets you enjoy music. Not only can you play back songs from audio sources, such as audio CDs or MDs, you can also import songs to your computer's hard drive and organize them as audio files. Furthermore, the imported songs (audio files) can be transferred to portable devices, such as a Network Walkman or Net MD Walkman. You can also write songs to CD-R or CD-RW discs to create your own original audio CDs.

Music Drive: Music Drive is SonicStage's Music Database. Music Drive is used to integrate and manage all of the audio files on a computer. Audio files can be imported to the Music Drive from various sources by performing the following operations: recording songs from an audio CD, importing audio files stored on the computer, and downloading audio files from an EMD service on the Internet. Information such as artist name, song title or jacket image can be attached to the audio track stored in the Music Drive. You can manage songs (audio files) by this information and also categorize songs using the playlist feature. Additionally, you can find a specific song by using various search criteria.

OpenMG: OpenMG is a copyright protection technology used when importing and managing audio content from music distribution services or audio CDs. By using OpenMG compliant applications such as SonicStage, audio content can be encrypted before being stored on the hard disk of a computer so that the audio file cannot be played back on any computer other than the one it was created on. OpenMG is useful in preventing unauthorized distribution of audio content via the Internet.

RealOne Player Compatible: RealOne is a free music management system that lets you download, create playlists and transfer music to your Network Walkman. Sonic Stage is compatible with RealOne.
