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.

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?

The product worked great ........

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

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.

It cannot be carried in your shirt pocket, and hardly in your jeans.(MD 3 - Other Players 1)In conclusion, I recomend this product

This is one great product.
