Sony Cd/Mp3 Player Advantages: Good Value for money, Easy To Use Disadvantages: A bit on the big side for me. When i seen this player in the shop the first impression i got was Round, saucer like and easy to hold. I found it had Good sound especially with good head phones. The battery life is very strong compared to other players i have come accross. Line out for connecting to speakers. mp3 or atrac playback includes the folder system, easier to navigate through 100-200 songs on each cd. Can group songs in folders when you burn them so you dont have to hit ... djgard27 15.09.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Sony CD / MP3 player	Sound Quality Ease of Use Look & Design Range of Features Value for Money
Sony D-NE715 Advantages: Atrac capability, battery life Disadvantages: poor software and value for money ...the player are fairly standard Sony ones and unfortunately my ears seem to be a funny shape, which just doesn’t agree with them, so I had to get new ones. I’m sure they work for most people though ATRAC3plus ATRAC3plus (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3plus) is an audio compression technology, developed from the ATRAC3 format. Though the ATRAC3plus format can compress music content to about 1/20 of its original size, you can still enjoy high quality ... ...Software I don’t know what Sony was thinking here but SonicStage SIMPLE!! Burner, the software you use to make your ATRAC CD’s, is one of the worst programmes I’ve used. It really has given me endless problems so…. Is it worth it? Killing two birds with one stone is often a good thing to do, playing your audio CD’s and having mp3 and large storage capabilities is a great idea but especially with the price, I don’t think Sony have pulled it off ... borisian31 25.02.2005 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Sony CD / MP3 player	Sound Quality Ease of Use Look & Design Range of Features Value for Money
Sony do it again Advantages: Beautiful, well designed, excellent remote, battery life, features, outputs Disadvantages: Horrid software, "spin up" time in atrac/mp3 playback could have been better avoided ..."next track" button, and so Sony supplied an excellent lcd stick remote control. It allows you to do everything you'd want with volume controls, navigation (track and album), play, pause, stop, display (track/album/artist/times), play mode (shuffle/album shuffle etc), and sound mode (standard/megabass1/2). It also features a natty little lcd screen that is backlit which is great as you know what it's doing at a glance, as well as showing you what ... ...and makes me wonder if Sony couldn't have designed it slightly better so that the next song was read in just before the last song ended to ensure no unnecessary pauses. The advantages (huge playtime and battery life) probably outweigh the disadvantages though, but if it had read in the next song before the last song ended it would have been an absolutely superb system. All in all, a well rounded (haha) player with excellent features, brilliant ... shandyboy 18.02.2005 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Sony CD / MP3 player	Sound Quality Ease of Use Look & Design Range of Features Value for Money
An Atrac-tive player Advantages: Ultimate in portability, use in car or on foot Disadvantages: Atrac cannot be used on any other players ...in the paper for the Sony D-NE518CK , a CD/mp3 player which came with a car kit that simply went into the cassette slot and you could get upto 30 hours of music one disc. My mouth dropped and I said “WOW, I've got to get one of them!!!”. So off I toddled to Argos and bought the CD Walkman for a princely £90, then as a nice bonus received a free 240 disc case and 5 CD-A (writeable CDs that can only be used like regular audio CDs). * * * * * * * ... ...on anything other than a Sony atrac system (not even the computer), and as such I found them pretty useless as I like to use my discs in other mp3 compatible players. * * * * * * * The Player * * * * * * * As one would expect from Sony the player is very stylish and sturdy. The sound quality was also excellent. I have so far used audio CDs, mp3 CDs, atrac CDs and CDs containing a mix of mp3 and atrac. All have played superbly with no skipping ... sandemp 09.12.2004 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Sony CD / MP3 player	Sound Quality Ease of Use Look & Design Range of Features Value for Money
