 Good Product March 18, 2006

This is a good product. Not as good as an MP3 player with internal memory, as it is bulkier. But, it is great for the price. The only drawback is, it is somewhat larger than a player with internal memory. Running with it can be uncomfortable at times...if you are a runner, you may prefer a smaller mp3 player, one you can put in your shorts pocket....
 Love this Player!!! June 17, 2005

My husband has the white one ($99). He has had his for a year and loves it. I got this one(blue - its cheaper, but the same model) for myself with some birthday giftcards from amazon. I love this. It does not skip or anything. I does take a little while to burn the music, not just drop/drag/ and go. But it makes up for that when you can put the number of songs on it that will last you for ever. And add to it the fact that the battery lasts a lot longer than in other players. My husband and I went through 2 different players before this one...lets just say we will stick with this player for a long time. We have his and hers players and love em. He runs and I walk and they do not skip. I also bought the carry case made for these and I love it. My husband just carries his as he runs, but I can't stand to hold stuff while I workout. I have run with it, using the case and it is so much easier. You won't go wrong with this player.

Ok, first off the MD player does not convert your existing MP3s on your hardrive to a new format on said same hard drive, but only when transfering to the player itself. The format the player uses isn't called alltrack but ATRAC3 (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding).
[...]ATRAC of course is a proprietary format that is in compitition with MP3 and any music you download from [...] site will be in that format, however I will restate that it is the player that does the conversion not the software on your PC. When you build your library in the software it just points to the MP3s. I would have seriously noticed if my 7.3GB of MP3s were duplicated on the drive where the software is installed since I do not have that much room left on that drive.
 Glitchy software and more! January 9, 2005

---VERY IMPORTANT----The software supplied converts your mp3/wma files to an alltrac format only usable on your computer and your sony netmd!!! (I think they do this for copyright purposes, but what if your mp3 files are ones you recorded in a studio yourself?!?!?)
I do not recommend this product as the software railroads you into buying from their site(connect.com) in alltrac format, which is the only format the netmd players play!!! Thats right, it does NOT play mp3. It does NOT play wma files. It only plays files converted into alltrac form!

The Sony Portable Minidisc is a piece of pure digital craftsmanship. I recently bought one from the store and I believe this is best things I have ever bought. It weighs about 4 ounces and is very compact.
Each disc can store about five hours of music. The best thing about this player is that it records its own music. The mini disc is inside of a protective case so it makes it virtually impossible to scratch it.
The cd-rom that comes with the player has two different programs on it to use. The first one is called md simple burner and this allows you to burn straight to your player without any delay. The software finds the names of the song and burns the name of the artist, the album, and the individual track. Simple burner also lets you put songs in its own group and name the entire disc including each group.
The second program sonic stage takes it a step further. A person can personalize the name of each song such as "my favorite' or give it dates of when the song actually came out. Sonic stage lets you keep a media library, buy and download music and many other things. This is the only program I know that would let you remove certain songs without erasing the entire disc.
I would recommend this line of players to any person that is on the run most of the day but really enjoys their music. If you are not totally, computer savvy this is for you.
It is truly worth the cost.
