Amazing

I wanted to know a few answers about this minidisc which i didn't find out, so i will tell you.
1) It looks different from the picture given (better)
2) You are supplied with a 1Gb minidisc
3) You can scroll through songs when playing another (like on an iPod)
4) There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Sonic Stage, it's far better than the previous ones.
Hope that helps! Buy this minidisc. It's very good!

Fantastic, looks great+easy to use

Having owned an ipod (which kept crashing!), creavtive zen (which kept freezing) and a creative micro (which I broke) I can honestly say this is the best player. I simply use Windows media to 'sync' music! The player looks exceptionally sleek and is easy to navigate. I have the violet coloured player, and love that I can put pics on it. The sound quality is fine and the head phones although looking weird are very comfy and stay in! Argos have this player on promo right now a bargain at 59.99! You really won't be dissapointed!

Not great -

I've always been a Sony guy. Using a Sony laptop now as it happens, and although I'm disappointed with it every day, I've always used stuck by Sony.

Have had two Sony MP3 players and to be fair they've been pretty good, not great, even bought the Sony NW-A3000S 20 GB HDD Walkman for my wife, and god, how I've put up with the grief - the user interface is rubbish. But I still went for the NWA808FB 8GB Video WALKMAN instead of an ipod nano or a creative and am not sure I made the right decision.

It looks great, feels great....but it's not as straightforward as the Sonic Stage or Connect software - even though there were problems with that software. Everyone moans about SonicStage, and Connect, but at least you can use it. Well this whole drag and drop thing sounds great in principle, but it's taken me quite a bit time messing around with it, and it's no where near as straightforward as the previous systems - maybe it just takes time to get used to....I guess only time will tell.

The Chris Clark cd problem

I still don't know about other cd's, but the Chris Clark"Empty the bones of you" (Warp Records) doesn't burn in this walkman. First i assumed that it was a cd problem, but then i put it to play in my car, in my hi-fi, and even in my brother's D-EJ815 walkman and the cd worked! So i can only conclude that this walkman has a serious problem...

NOBODY DOES BASS LIKE SONY

I've had my sony walkwan for 2 years. The one that i have doesn't play mp3 cds but oh well. I really love the bass on a sony, it sounds just right. I've got an ipod now (by the way that's a better option.) But if you wanna listen to cds this is the one for you.

groovy blue player

I bought this for my wife because I already have a similar SONY 2GB version. Very easy to use, and sounds excellent. Highly recommended

mp3

i was very disapointed when i receved the item as i ordered a red mp3 player for my son when i got it in the post i opened it and it was pink not red so i had to swap it with my girls one so i am not happy pink was not what i ordered

Sony D-NE240S

Use this daily and does the job well, good sound output. Would recommend the mains adapter, as it likes batteries.

The Gucci of MD

It was after my little brother suggested that caring 300g of minidisk around could be bad for my heart that I decided to send my 3-year-old ‘original’ recording MD to the museum and invest in this beautiful little model.
The first thing that I noticed about this player when I walked into the shop was its amazingly well designed looks. I wouldn’t describe myself as a simple man but the cool little bump on the front coupled with the dimpled, classic metallic body really fascinated me! It’s this visual superiority over other brands that make Sony one of the largest electronics corporations in the world. Even though there were other, much cheaper models it was Sony’s amazing attention to detail that caused me to ignore the £100 price difference.

As far as functions go there is only a certain amount of things a MD player can do: Play, stop, track change etc… However, not wanting to be held back by the restrictions MD bring, Sony incorporated 1-bit technology to not only speed up the player’s sound processing time, but also increase the sound’s quality. This feature named ‘ATRAC DSP Type R’ is exclusive to Sony and in my opinion is essential. The MZ- E909 also comes with ‘g-protection’ to almost completely eradicate all skipping or jumping. As the MD market has moved into Net MD and MDLP this player is compatible with both formats, as well as the old-school 74min/80min format. This MD Walkman also comes with ‘Digital Sound preset and Personal Disk Memory’, thus allowing you save both the sound features (bass, treble and volume) and track playing order for each of your individual minidisks. The final feature of this minidisk player is in my opinion the most valuable: Sony decided to incorporate a function into the menus that allows you to change the speed that the actual minidisk plays, e.g. from fast to slow! Many hours were spent with my mates listening to the smurf-like high pitch of Usher and the deep, Barry White-like voice of Britney! (the britney album aint mine by the way!)

In terms of value for money the MZ-E909 is relatively expensive. There are few models on the market that top the £200 price tag that this MD player carries. However there are many MD that cost under £100 and do almost exactly the same as this player. In hindsight I would have maybe gone for a cheaper model, as function is fairly limited in MD technology. If your going to buy a MD player, seriously consider these questions: Do you have a MD recorder? Would you not be better off with a recording MD as they’re almost the same price? Have you considered CD and MP3 players?

This player goes beyond any other thanks to Sony technology. Its sleek looks and great design coupled with its superior functions make this MD player a elite product, but as with most goods, this comes at a price.
