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 ...

...I had owned a Sony Minidisc player for about 2 years, and had become fed up with having to change the Minidisc every so often (yes I'm very lazy!) and it had become broken and did not want to send it of to the manufacturers to mend it which would have been very costly.
A CD Mp3 player can store up to 30 albums onto one CD. This is very handy and by far easier than my previous Minidisc player is. This CD player comes with 2x AA alkaline rechargeable ... ...With the majority of sony headphones you get with portable audio products they give you a shoddy pair. Again they've done this but hey are really not as bad as people make them out to be. I already have a nice expensive pair, which I really like so I don't use this much but I've had no problem. They fit in my ears, produce good sound quality and are comfortable which is all that matters. Dimensions (WxDxH): 13.5 cm x 13.5 cm x 1.6 cm Weight: 179 ...

Advantages: very compact, batteries last forever Disadvantages: poor software supplied
...The remote is the standard Sony one, so it's easy to use (although it could show more information) and has a backlight. The earphones aren't the best but work well, especially if you get some foam covers for them (to improve the bass). It is slightly noisy when skipping tracks, but if you have the earphones in you won't notice. One problem it does have is that in mp3 mode it always inserts a slight pause between tracks, so mixes always get cut up ... ...mp3 disc or 25 if you use the atrac (Sony compression) software which comes with this - be warned though, it takes ages to make an atrac cd and you can't play it on anything else! You need a CD writer to make these (obviously), and a powerful pc if you want to covert to atrac.
The sound quality on CDs, mp3s and atrac discs is excellent, unless you choose to convert mp3s on your computer to atrac. For some reason, you lose nearly all the quality ...

Advantages: Nice and slim and very slick looking. Disadvantages: None
I’ve had this Walkman for about 6 months and i’m really happy with it. It has great sound quality and some very good features.
The sound settings are really good. There are 3 base settings and they enhance the sound really well. Other features include bookmark settings; favourite tracks can be set so that you don’t have to keep skipping tracks and a very good LCD remote.
When I bought my Walkman I had to pay £149 so I am very unhappy to see this ... ...every penny.
This Walkman is also an mp3 and software is provided in the box. This is really a great mp3 and you can record up to 30 albums on just one disc. This is good also because you can add to it but you cannot delete any of the tracks on the already on the CD but that’s ok because you can put so much on them.
The remote is really easy to control and it has a very nice light. It also clips on to like your pockets and is never in the way. ...
