Sony MZ-N710 silver net minidisc walkman

As title says, used condition, but still works, comes with all leads, just no headphones. Can throw in 8minidiscs too. £30

Does anyone actually still use these things?

bit steep for outdated technology

£25 then?

A Bit?

NetMD players are great, they act like MP3 players essentially, but use the far better ATRAC codec as opposed to the extremely lossy MP3 codec. If this supports Hi-MD, which I doubt it does as that was released towards the end of production, then its even better (you can get like 2500 minutes per disc on them iirc).

I think overall though, £25 is a pretty fair price, these things still go for that much and more on ebay believe it or not.

True an MP3 player is a better option for most nowadays, but a Sony MP3 player will cost yo more than this, and probably still wont have the overall sound quality of an MD player? If it's not you thing, fair enough, but don't be damming on his ad.

Having said that, my "mp3 player" (for the car), cost me £3 from PC world haha!

Mine was a serious question!

I'd guess the answer would yes; probably not many though!
