I needed a portable player to listen to the music I had recorded on minidiscs using my Sony JE-330 and JE-630 minidisc decks and I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money so I took a chance and ordered the DN430 which I found to be an excellent recorder and player. I also like the software - however I would recommend going to Sony's website and downloading (for free)the latest version of Sonic Stage. from Amazon.com Instead it basically does it's own thing. With my old Archos Jukebox player, all I had to do was plug it into my computer and drag the directory tree over to the new USB drive and wait about an hour. With the NetMD player, I have to select the tunes I want (because there is much less room on an MD than say a 1 gig flash drive) and wait while the song is converted from mp3 to the propriatary format and then wait for the song to be transered over the USB 1.0 cable. In other words it's slow. from Amazon.com Instead it basically does it's own thing.

In other words it's slow. from Amazon.com At the time, these were selling for $[...] compared to the 1gb players for $[...]. Now you can buy these online for around $[...]. I was so interested, that I talked myself into getting the Sony Psyc MiniDisk walkman. The player has very clear and good sound, and the disk don't skip when you hit the potholes. from Amazon.com An excelent product! I would recommend a Sony MiniDisk player to anyone still using a walkman or CD player! from Amazon.com the sony md player is great. i can listen to music or books on cd when i walk or work out or when i am just sitting at the dr.'s office from Amazon.com Unfortunately for Sony, this is just another format that has seen no appreciable success in the US. We purchased this device to listen to professional voice work done for our company in Europe and Australia. from Amazon.com If you listen to it for an hour one night, and pick it up 3 months later, you'll have 44 hours to go! Just excellent. Also, be sure to download the new SonicStage software from Sony (v3.3). It no longer imposes transfer restrictions. from Amazon.com FOr a while I was thinking about buying an Apple Ipod, but hten I saw those on a website. 5 hours of music to one MiniDIsc really caught my attention. This player is acually more frugal than the APlle Ipod. from Amazon.com As I write this review I am listening to my MD player. This thing sounds so good. from Amazon.com
