 Awsome Product October 7, 2005

This little product is the best ever! Some of the rewiews I've seen for this has been good but some bad.
Well the player itself is flawless, it almost seemes that I get even more than just 56 hours of playback. I have dropped mine twice and still it keeps on running(that doesn't happen often). Now the sound quality itself is just amazing. I play the drums and I most of the time play to music, so I use this, It's what I bought it for. I'll tell you now it hasn't let me down yet for 2 years. Now they could do a little improvement on the software, It's easy to use but on my computer it kept incountering errors. But I found out that if you have a Sony computer you'll never have a problem.

First I am a huge Sony Minidisc fan and have used md's for a long time. Entering the mp3 and wma time, I decided to get a net md to play these files. Unfortunetly Sony forgot to give their users an easy way to transfer their files to the net md. Here's why;
First even though the package says it plays mp3's and wma's, it actually means it will convert them to Atrac then store it to the player. Taking too much of your time.
Second it doesn't even convert all wma's or mp's. Most of my files are wma and it didn't even convert 75% of them.
Third the device soemtimes thinks it's full when not and heres the kicker, you must use batteries to to do any tranfers. Most mp3 player uses the power of your computer to do that.
Honestly I have never been so mad at sony. I do still love most of their products but they should have put more effort into this.
Sorry customers, but if you want an easy to use and better quality mp3 player look at anything other than net md. If Sony was smart they would have made the Net MD like a mass storage device and let the customer decide if they want to convert their music to atrac.
I ended up buying a 40gb Creative Labs Zen. Very easy and also lets me store files other than music too.
Overall Review after a month's usage January 21, 2005

I was searching for a cool MP3 player and came across this one from Sony. At first it looked to be fine but there are many flaws in the product.I used sony netmd 4210 psyc for about a month and then returned it and finally ordered for an ipod shuffle. I will discuss each of the player details:
User Controls: The keypads are so small that its difficult to operate them. n if u have big fingers, forget about it.it doesn't have a backlight which means u need to find some light for operating in the night.the screen is too small n cluttered. the front cover for inserting minidisc opens with lots of metallic sound and one remembers the old cassette walkmans(those used to sound even lesser). its difficult to set the player bass and treble controls.its like hit n miss--sometimes it happens and when u try doing the same next time u dont get to do the same thing. i was not able to figure out that in a month.
Sound Quality: Well the sound quality wasn't bad but I would say it wasn't great too.I tried with different types of music and I had to change the bass and treble everytime to make it sound a bit better.The Atrac compression causes loss in quality. U can compare the sound to some cassette player-it wasn't crystal clear-u can't get to hear everything that the music has got.I feel TDK mojo and creative's sound better.
Headphones: The headphones that come with the player sux.so be prepared to spend some cash on new better headphones.someone in the reviews had written that the headphones look the same as we get in the airlines n thats true.
Space and battery: The battery life is good-doesnt eat up battery while playing.but yeah when u r transferring then it may eat up a new cell with trasferring maybe 3 minidiscs at a time. The average number of songs I was able to transfer in LP2 mode was 30-32 on a minidisc so that used to be around 2 hours of music. Forget about LP4 which boasts for 5hrs of music.the quality of music isn't worth listening in LP4.LP2 IS OK.
N u have to carry a set of minidiscs wherever u go so tht u dnt run out of music.
Case: The case that comes with the player is too small-the player fits somehow and there isnt a space for anything else. i didnt like the case much.The player is also bulky.
Software: The software that comes with the player is very easy to use. Lots of people had difficulty using that but its not difficult at all.
Overall I would not recommend this product-guys get an ipod shuffle for the same price which looks cool n sounds awesome.n if u wanna spend some extra bucks, get an ipod or dell dj.
for the music nerds, this isn't the thing u will like--the sound quality doesn't keep to the expectation.

I love this player I have gone through 2 previous CD players and I thought it was time to upgrade so I got this. The software that comes with it works nicelybecause you can take it directly from the CD and put it ont the mini disk or you can put it on your computer first and then put it onto your mini disk. I was about to get an mp3 player an the store but I saw this and started thinking because with an mp3 player every time you want to change a set of songs you have to go to your computer and change them. With this you can fill up four or five disk worth and switch whenever you want. Also you can get a good mp3 player for about $120 but this one cost about $100 so i also looked to see how much extra disks cost. The mp3 player i would have gotten could hold 8 hours for $120 but i could get 5 more disks each with 5 hours on them (AND they are rewritable) and the mini disk player for under $110 so i decided to go with this. This is also great if you know other people that have Mini disk players because the Mini Disks are a lot easier to carry around and you can trade with other people. also the mini disks are like small floppy disks in physical size so the actual disk which the data is stored on is protected so you don't need to worry about it getting scratched.for the mini disk player here is an evaluation
sound quality(bass,treble,and all around quality) 5/5 great i have found no problems even on the lowest quality it is very clean and pure.
5/5 this fits in my pocket really well and the disks are small too so you can take this anywhere
volume control 5/5 as small as it is (about 3.5 inches by 4 inches and about an inch thick) this thing can go pretty dang loud so if you are in a noisy place you will be able to hear it
Headphones 2/5 this is the only bad thing about this they have low sound quality and i hardly used them. I was lucky because i already had another pair but this may add a little money on ($10-$20 for a decent pair).
Now on to the sofware this had one problem arise too but not too major. I think it was probably my computer's fault too
difficulty level of use 4/5 extremely easy just about anyone could do it. I gave it 4 instead of 5 because to do it properly you need to read the manual
overall 4.9/5 probably but lets just round up to 5/5 because it looks so cool.
I hope you have found this review helpful and if you are hesitant I would go get it. there is always a small chance that Someone may not like it (very small chance). in that case you could probably get it refunded. God luck in your choice but i think if you stop on this one it's a good choice

The Sony Net MD was the perfect gift, I could have ever recieved for Christmas. It came with an 80 min. disk, a cd-rom with the programs needed to run it, and some really crappy headphones(only downside to this product). I found the Net MD very easy to use....and I'm not too smart when it comes to technology. I was looking at MP3 players, like the apple ipod, but was blown away at the price....and i could never use up that much memory. The mini-disk player it very convenient. It holds just enough space for people like me who don't have 3,000 songs to put on the darn thing. I took it on vacation and it was great in the car, and the battery is still working. The only thing bad that I found about this product was that the head-phone were pretty bad, and that you have to upgrade a program they give you to use your free connect.com downloads. I would reccomend this to anyone who wants plenty of music at their finger tips.
