| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Not an MP3 player
This player DOES NOT PLAY MP3s/WMAs/etc. Do not be fooled by the labeling. It converts these formats into ATRAC, this becomes a problem when you try to transfer over protected file formats that you might download off of iTunes and such. It's better to say this is an ATRAC player. | 2 | 776 days ago | Nice, but Limited
Bottom Line:
<br />This is a great unit for the price, but for people with an expansive library of music or for those who use multiple computers, I would not recommend it.
<br />
<br />I've had this player for almost two years and would describe it as durable with great music playback, but that darn ATRAC format puts a real damper on things. It always converts my mp3s to this format which is a waste time (Granted it's only a few minutes, but I like to get things done as quick as possible). And though I haven't checked for recent updates of the software(SonicStage), the version I have is not very user-friendly and took me a while to get used to.
<br />
<br />But my biggest gripe is that in Sony's attempt to reduce music piracy, they've put protection on this thing that prevents you from uploading music on computers other than the one your unit is registered on. Granted, this is not a big deal for most consumers, but I travel a lot and find it very frustrating when I can't remix my music while at a different computer.
<br />
<br />Lastly, the capacity is limited (Room for about 35 songs in standard quality) and no one likes carrying around extra minidiscs, regardless of how small they are.
<br />
<br />Bottom, bottom line:
<br />This is a great little machine...Though I wouldn't recommend it for those of us in 2005. Go for the ipod, I know everyone has it and you'll be part of the "trendy" crowd, but it's popular for a reason- it's superior to everything else out there (I have a nano and feel just like those dancing silhouette people in the commercials). | 3 | 776 days ago | Nice for the Price
I've had mine for about a year now, and it is wonderful. I didn't want to spend the money on an iPod, and I had several friends who had MD players.
<br />
<br />I can put 2 or 3 cd's on one disc, and that's a plus. The only problem is you have to carry the discs with you if you want to change. At least they're about 1/4 the size of a cd.
<br />
<br />I got mine from Best Buy for $150. My mom originally bought me a Rio mp3 player, but it wasn't able to hold the amount of music that I wanted, so we returned it and upgraded.
<br />
<br />Sonic Stage (the music software) is not that easy to use, and I hope they make it easier to organize and find music in future releases. I wish that the MD player was compatable with Windows Meadia player, but unfortunately it's not. The Quick Burner, however, is very easy to use and gets the job done without a fuss.
<br />
<br />THE BOTTOM LINE: MD players can play as much music as you can give them. They're sleek and compact. They're very nice for the price. | 4 | 776 days ago | Sony MZ-NF520D Net MD Walkman
Just bought one from Amazon yesterday; hope to get it by Thursday (they are sending it via FedEx!!); am excited, very excited. | 5 | 776 days ago | Very Good Product
I bought the other version of this product, without the radio at Target (98 dollars, cool deal). Wonderful product and it works really well. Sony i think makes the best electronic products and are the most reasonable when it comes to prices. Minidisc is quite impressive, they look like nothing more then those little floppy disk but store more then CD's which is impressive. One flaw however, they say 80 minutes which is a lie, they store 161. The product is nice, it's not too big and it's not too small. Some MP3 players are too small, this is perfect, you don't have the fear of dropping it and the buttons are the perfect size. And if you don't want to carry it, stick it in your pocket. It is a good deal. | 5 | 776 days ago |
