I got my D-NE715 about a year ago and since then it has served me ok but is nothing special. There are a few nagging issues I shall address later.
Sound Lets face it it’s a Sony, the sound quality is very good, with Mega Base to get you jumping and AVLS (Automatic Volume Limiter System) which protects your lugs. Another feature is the G-shock, I know most players now have a very good anti skip system but the one on this player is great, I have never had it skip on me, even when I take is snowboarding! The earphones that come with 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 sound. You can get about 30 CD’s onto a CD-R/RW if your CD’s are around 60 mins in length and your recording onto a 700MB CD-R/RW at 48kbps. This is pretty good and you can play audio CD’s and mp3 CD’s as well. The player displays the song name and artist. To make accessing your music easier, before you transfer to disc you can put your music into groups and files which you can access from the player, once it’s on though you can’t change it.
Other Features Shuffle/Repeat, programmable up to 64 tracks in your fave order, Jog dial to allow quick selection of tracks, connectable to your stereo
Batteries An important thing to consider when choosing your portable CD player (ie no external power source) is the batteries. And this is a real plus for this player the battery life is very good and charging doesn’t take forever, you don’t even need to take them out just plug the player in and press charge.
Looks I think this player looks pretty cool, after all I did buy it! It may not be everybody’s cup of tea though.
Ease of use Not bad here, could be better but once you’re used to it its ok.
BUT
Ok up to this point your probably thinking “yeh this sounds like a pretty good player”, however
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 with this player, I reckon you maybe better to go for a good mp3 player.
Advantages: Battery life. Sound quality. OK as basic CD player - no more! Disadvantages: Poor software for making compressed CD's.
...but I've been unable to write one to find out! There is no software to produce MP3 CD's unless you happen to have it pre-installed on a SONY laptop - they don't tell you that as you buy- try iTunes, free from Apple!
Earphones are prone to drop out! ...

SOUND
First of all, the sound is excellent, particularly with the Mega Bass turned on (this is always good on Sonys). This is partly due to the excellent headphones, which are really comfotable and ergonomically shaped. MP3 playback is at high kbps, ensuring great sound if your MP3 encoding is OK. The player is packaged with some simple burning software, so this should not be a problem for ripping new CDs.
EASE OF USE
Not as great- the player ... ...a bit useless- who really wants to program 64 songs?? The shape of the unit is also a bit of a pain, for some reason i find it really easy to drop, mainly due to it's circular form. The LCD display is useful and displays all the relevant info you want, including text from the CD-R. Another good point is the stick remote, which is well designed and miniscule.
DURABILITY
For jogging, this is excellent, the G-shock system really stops skipping, and ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "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 track advance 150 times if you want to hear the 150th song. Good for old format old time radio plays. It plays the low grade mp3 kbs/s and frequences as well of course the standard new music high quality format. ...
Advantages: Sleek, slender, small weight and a stylish design Disadvantages: Quite low battery life
When the Walkman was first released the whole world dropped thier jaws and let out a amazed oooing sound... it is even said the the advertising copyrighter that made up the slogan "Don't run, walk man" was able to retire on that sentence alone. But in the technological age we live this product won't be able to turn many heads.
The sony D-NE511/S comes with power compression software which allows you to put up to 30 CD's onto one CD and play it through your D-NE511/S. The missing word in that sentence is ONLY...these compressed CD's can only be played through sony walkmans with ATRAC recording technology which makes it hard if you want to share your newly created mixes with friends. The same software also lets you make CD's containing loads of mp3 files (not sure on a certain number as i have never had enough mp3 files to push ...
