    4 Stars You Spin Me Right Round Baby, Right Round 21/12/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Compact with an excellent battery life and great sound quality, audio cd, mp3 and atrac compatible, the atrac cd creation software is very user friendly

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Atrac software only works on windows pcs, not macs, included headphones feel cheap, doesn’t feel particularly robust

    In the beginning there was the audio tape. Actually that’s a lie but for the purpose of this op I’m going to ignore vinyl and the older tape formats because, to the best of my knowledge, nobody designed any personal battery-powered gadgets to play them on the move. (Presumably, in the case of vinyl, because the stylus jumped too much when you walked) Anyway. In the beginning (of this op) there was the audio tape. And lo, people were mightily impressed but they wanted to be able to listen to the audio tape while sitting at the bus stop waiting for the bus that, unknown to them, had actually ... more

    5 Stars Sony do it again 18/02/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful, well designed, excellent remote, battery life, features, outputs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Horrid software, "spin up" time in atrac/mp3 playback could have been better avoided

    You rightly expect something special from Sony's "flagship" CD player, after all they more or less invented the whole portable audio player market single-handedly. The D-NE1 certainly looks the part, consisting of brushed aluminium top panels with transparent plastic surround so you can see your cd spinning merrily, and all the various sockets and buttons discreetly placed round the outer edge of the unit. It's also small - only slightly wider in diameter than a cd, and less than 2cm thick. It's multi-format playback supports standard cd audio (unsurprisingly!), but also mp3, ATRAC3 and ... more

    5 Stars Sony, your the best 16/11/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No skipping, batteries last long, good sound system with good headphones

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Little pricey, Buttons layed out funny, No fast foward for MP3 tracks

    Sony has done a bang up job on their latest and greatest MP3/CD player. The retail was at $119.99 (for all Brits out there, this is about £75). The package comes with headphones, a strap so you can prevent it from slipping from your hands, and of course the player itself. The player is small, lightweight, and efficient. It’s smaller and lighter than 'regular' CD players. The top has see through plastic so you can actually see your CD spinning which looks cool. The design is silver, sleek and thin. The AudioCD player functionality does its job, although I rarely use it. It supports CD ... more

    4 Stars The Perfect cd player 01/02/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages looks good, easy 2 use, huge batery life, 30cds onto 1

    Disadvantages Disadvantages headphones + software provided

    I came across this product whilst bored after doing my homework, fantasising about an ipod so I could store all my music. Whilst searching around the Internet I stumbled over many CD Mp3 players. I'd never heard of them before so I was intrigued to find out more. 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 ... more

    5 Stars Lots of features and plenty of battery life 22/12/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quite cheap, yet good sound quality and range of features.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Volume doens't go high enough!

    When you buy a CD player there are a few main criteria that need to be met and this CD player meets most of them. Unlike a normal MP3 player it can also play ATRAC3plus files. This is a compressed file type which gives similar sound quality to MP3, but about half the size. Put simply, you get more tracks on your CD! Like all MP3 players it can handle both recordable and re-writable CDs, as well as standard audio ones. One feature which is very useful is the ID3 tag facility. This means that you can choose a track by its name and then see the artist and album name. This applies to both ATRAC ... more
