While I was still listening to my walkman and fighting skippage while jogging, my dad finally decided it was time to get himself an MP3 player. He came up with this, the Sony Net MD Walkman. MD stands for MiniDisc. Ok, close, but no cigar. All right, ...

Pros: 55 hours battery life, great sound, beat around durable.
Cons: terrible software, poor design, crappy headphones.

I grabbed this Sony NetMD MZ-NE410 a couple of years ago I can't believe it still works because I put this MD in some serious head trauma, I must have dropped it over fifty times just a small dent and It's good to go again. The battery life is amazing ...

Pros: Cheap, AWESOME battery life, has it's own little style to it
Cons: THE INITIAL SOFTWARE SUCKS! NO BACK LIGHT EITHER!

It's my first MD and have don't have many complaints. I decided to get this after being fed up with having to walk around with a CD player and a bunch of CDs. The battery life is really awesome, so if you actually care, max it out with a rechargeable ...

Pros: Software easy to use
Cons: Bulky, Battery Life too short, design

This was my first MD player and I was very excited to finally own one. The software that came with the player was very easy to use, drag and drop...pretty basic. What I didn't like was you were only able to copy a song 3 times onto MD. Once it was copied ...

Pros: Cheap media, excellent sound quality, small size, sturdy
Cons: No backlit display, no radio, no recording from multiple sources

Well, I won't bore you with all the technical details. The sound quality is excellent. The storage media is cheap, reusable and compact. I've had this for about a year. I like the CD burning software; it's very simple to use. I'm afraid I'll have to ...

Pros: Cheap, durable media. Great sound and portability.
Cons: Must use provided software. Sometimes the battery runs low while burning = Error.

*** UPDATED SECTION *** Ok, now that I've familiarized myself with the product, I like it much better. The software that comes with the player (version 1.5 I think) makes you "check in" and "check out" your songs so that you cannot create more than 3 ...

Pros: Great sound quality; solid construction.
Cons: Atrocious software; long song transfer times; poor ergonomics.

Pros: High Storage 5HOURS MUSIC, Battery life, Ease of software

I recently purchased this MD Player, and when I tried it for the first time, I was amazed at how much music this little baby can hold! A Single MD holds 5HOURS of music, sony says this is 600Tracks of about 5minutes each |NOT TRUE! I say mostly about ...

Pros: Affordable, great quality in sound, small in size, cheap MD, good looking
Cons: Not the same amount of memory of iPod

Pros: Sound, battery life, portability, price
Cons: The supplied software sonicstage, USB 1.1 (not highspeed)

Mini disc players are the future of music technology. they are getting very popular nowadays. The good thing is that you don't have to buy expensive memory cards, the minidiscs are like 3-4 bucks CDN (that's pretty cheap). First of all, this minidisc ...

Pros: Everything but the software.

Worthless software for an incredible player. Okay, I remember when these came out last year, sounded like a great product. I was going to buy one, and was reading here and on other review sites how bad the software was for this. I thought to myself ...

Has everything you can want in a portable player. I have been using MD's since I was 15 and now 7 years later i still love them. I must admit that I got rid of them for a while because who really wants to record in live time??? Spend 1 hour to record 1 ho ...

Pros: Small, quite skip-proof, long battery life.
Cons: Supporting software, no backlight, DRM limitations, lack of actual MP3 support, Sony's attitude...

Sony’s MiniDisc (MD) format was, at one time, almost a good idea. The now largely orphaned format was brought about ten years after the advent of the Compact Disc (CD) format and was touted as a better, smaller replacement for the cassette tape. The ...
