The sound in general is great, even with the factory headphones that come with the player.-The editing and recording options, particularly the computer downloading feature, are more than adequate for my uses

This new Minidisc has wonderful sound and is very well made.

As all of them works perfect sounds great and will bring years of enjoyment.

Sound was good, on par with Ipod depending on the recording mode

I can't fault the sound...it seems at least as good as all my other MD equipment.

The sound quality is amazing on LP2, and decent on LP4.

This is a great investment and if the quality of sound is important, then that's another reason to buy this product

The sound quality is significantly better than any of those players.

The battery life is good and the sound quality is good as well.

quality will therefore never be better than 132kbit atrac3, which is quite good though and hard to tell from original atrac.

Can not recommend this item for mp3, for straight cd to minidisc it is ok.......but why not get a regular mp3 player instead and have more flexible product?

I guess that's what things like the iPod are for!In conclusion - this product is good, but don't expect to use OpenMG as your player of choice.

Frankly I don't give a whoop about Sony losing a dime from piracy and think they have ruined what is a great hardware product with absolutely terrible software.

The software is not the easiest to operate but Sony makes great products so don't let that stop you from buying this.

Well, the product is Great except for one BIG problem_____the software does not work after about 2-3 applications

I hope these amazing little machines keep working for a very long time.

My previous Sony MD player is over 3 years old and still sounds as wonderful as when I first bought it

I have two of these fantastic little machines and have been enjoying listening to my music for a very long time

I've bought one of this Net MDs a few months ago, and I gotta say that it's a really great machine

Both pieces of software that come with the machine work fine

The battery life shines above and beyond however, I got a good 30-40 hours of playtime off ONE AA battery, and another in a bag is easy to carry along.

The main attraction of this unit comes from the huge storage that it offers, I must say that the lowest bit rate is virtually offensive to my ears at least, so the best it can really do is 2 hours in mid level recording.

It took about 30 minutes more to transfer and record an entire Mini-Disc worth of music in LDP mode (5 hours)

its features are all great w/ the exception of the fact that it can't have a mike directly plugged into to record

The orange light of the screen is one of its best features, that's something that not all the MDs have neither the most expensive model

The minidisc player offers many great features.

The LCD screen displays the name of the song as well as volume and a few other features.

([...]) and get the free version of RealOne(In the top right-hand corner)it becomes by far the greatest Mp3 and minidisc

Overall this is and amazing minidisc player, and the only time i will throw it out is if/when it breaks

Overall this is an amazing minidisc player.

Because MiniDisc are stronger and smaller, you can carry them in any pocket of your blue jeans.(MD 1 - Other Players 0)Second, With onle one MiniDisc you can store more than 5 hours

The battery life is good and the sound quality is good as well.

For me, this system works perfectly, and I like the fact that I can put 5 hours worth of music on one disk, the battery life seems like it lasts forever (compared to previous systems), and I can set up the music the way that I want to.

The MZ-S1 excels for several reasons:-Battery life is incredible.-Design and ease of use, especially during long runs, is perfectly suited for the right hand (lefthanded people might find this an awkward fit at first).-The bass is surprisingly full, without compromising much of the treble.

I'am glad the player worked like the seller promised I'am reaily enjoying the player alot .

but it is strong and have had no problem with it yet, great price, nice headphones, shame that there is no case for it, "Case Logic MCP-2" doesn't work for it so don't buy it for this minidisc.

I bought this mini disc recorder for a very good price

Good price

its modern design and its reflective smoke withe is something nice

also found the design more tasteful--it lacks the "please steal me" ghetto design philosophy of the 505.

Sony has a long history of making innovative, easy to use, well designed, compact, and durable consumer electronics that come with some of the worst, least usable software you'll ever see.

The player itself is very cool, great design, and durable... i have dropped it, from about 4 feet onto frozen asphault with only a scuff to show for it

while this shouldn't determine whether or not you buy this product, it is an attractive design, specifically the pearlescent, reflective coating

The unit is backlit, durable, works off of batteries and can record in Minidisc formats up to LP4 (4-5 hours per minidisc

This unit works great and does exactly what it advertises to do

All in all, it's not a perfect MD unit, but it fits my needs quite well, and I do recommend it to others.

Unit is much less sensitive to vibration than a CD player and works well.

My first unit died due to a recording problem

Somehow I continue to enjoy my music and my MZ-

I have to say that I am a novice to burning music of the

I guess the whole idea is to help prevent the propgation of illegal music trading.

While I find it slightly awkward to use (I have medium-sized woman-hands), it IS easier to operate while running/skating/etc than the average portable music player.

I haven't gotten to all of the features yet, but just getting music on the disks was easier than I thought.

The software it comes with is bad because you have to deal with checking in and checking out songs.

NetMD debuted in 2001, and the software should be more refined than this by now.

This involved using the sony clunky software to get a playlist,

Sony has made great improvements on it software (2004 edition is very stable).

The software, while not the best, once learned is actually good

I don't remember the transfer of songs from my computer to the netmd being difficult, or time consuming.

Besides, the process slows down the transfer of music to the player dramatically and thwarts any additional potential the player had, keeping the Sony Mini-Disc players from cometing on a level with the iPod.
