Kak - do not get the 410.. you will be very unhappy with it. The interface is clunky and hard to use and the software only downloading/recording sucks. if you can find a n707, 710, 810 or 910, I think you would be happier. Hell they even make a sports model in a shock-proof case but I venture to say it probably has the same internals as the 410. Just keep in mind that if it does not say "net-md" or specify long play times (in the excess of 320 minutes) it may be a standard mini-disk player and cannot record (or convert) MP3's

how exactly does the interface of the 410 differ from the rest (and how is it different from play/stop/pause/next/back/rewind/fast-forward)? Also, doesn't the 410 utilize the same software as just about any other MD player? Is the sound quality different? Basically, could you elaborate on why its inferior in more detail?
