 Small, fun, and full! January 6, 2005

I love this mini disc player. I got it for my birthday when I asked for an MP3 player (thinking I'd get an ipod), but I think I like this better! It's so small and compact that even though the songs need to be stored on discs, it isn't a space problem or a problem to carry them around. One disc can hold lots of music, plenty for going to the gym, going for a walk, or just sitting around, so in many cases, you don't need to carry more than one or two discs at a time!
The software is great as well. Easy to use and it's so much fun making my own mixes and getting songs that I love but didn't want to spend the money on to get the whole CD! Now instead of spending $18 on a cd from which I only want 2 or 3 songs, I can purchase just the 3 songs I want for 99 cents each!
I plan on purchasing the arm-band holder for use at the gym and I agree, the headphones that come with it have a short cord and are huge, so I will also be buying my own headphones.
Overall, very small and easy to carry, fun to use, full of music I love, and for those of you to whom this matters, quite a cute player to carry around!

My husband bought me a Sony minidisc walkman for Christmas last year, because I wanted something that I could use for my work outs. I found this to be perfect for that purpose, because it is small, and skip free. It is very easy to put together your own custom mix of music for whatever purpose, whether it be for the gym or just for relaxing. I can fit close to 70-75 songs (on LP4 mode, I really don't notice much reduced sound quality) on one minidisc. Use the shuffle mode and it's like your own private radio station. You never know what's coming next....a feature that is especially great for working out. Keeps the boredom out of it.<br />

So, for Christmas this year, I bought him his own. The only thing that I was somewhat disappointed about was that unlike the MD player he gave me last year, this model doesn't come with the cable that allows you to recharge the player. I don't use batteries in mine. I just plug it back into the wall and recharge it, just like you would a cell phone. Even so, you still get plenty of playing time out of ONE double AA battery. <br />
<br />
The remote control is especially great for ease of use while running, etc. I've heard people mention that they wish it came with a belt clip. The walkman I received and the one I purchased came with an arm band as part of the promotion. Sony has this on their website too. <br />
<br />
As far as the headphones, I would agree that they suck. I went out and bought the Sony headphones that wrap around your ear and have the bud that goes into your ear. Those stay put.<br />
<br />
Overall, I would say this is definitely a quality product I would definitely recommend.

i love my minidisc. i find it to be very user friendly and fun. it also stores about 280 minutes on one disc in LP4 format so there is no chance of running out of music. and since i am in canada, we get the earbuds standard, not the cheap assed foam headphones, and the earbuds are very comfy. i <3 my minidisc

I love my Mini-Disc Player. It's so awesome. I have @ least 5 hrs of music on the one disc that was supplied. The transfer takes like 8 seconds per song, however the conversion from the original form of the file to Sony's Atrac file version does take significantly longer, but if you convert it as soon as you enter the files into your library, you'll barely notice the difference. The radio is awesome with 30 presets. I listen to my Mini-Disc in class. I'm addicted to it and I just got it YESTERDAY!!!

Im not too much into MP3, i was the kind of guy that allways have his caselogic full of CDs and the discman, but i wanted to change to a smaller and better audio device so i bough this Sony Net MD.
And is very cool, storage a lot of songs per MD, the software interface is very easy to use.
The Headphones are realy cheep, but you can use new ones, the buttons are way too small and hard to press at the beggining but you get used to that and no cool blue light for the remote control as shown in the picture, but that is barely needed (in fact i dont use the remote.)
But at the end is a very cool personal audio device, that can give you a lot of hours of music per MD and batery.
If this Net MD included better headphones and easy to press buttons, i would give the 5 stars.
