Mp3 players, look out because Sony is getting it...

Strengths: Great sound, easy to transfer your cds, if your into that kind of thing. Easy directions on how to use the player. There is nothing as far as weakness go when it comes to the actual player itself.

Weakness: The headphones are of terrible sound. I just picked up a pair on Ebay for $8.00. If you can, get some cheap Durabrand headphones, they sound awesome with this. They say "DIGITAL" on the sides.

Ive only had the player for one day, but ive already downloaded about 39 albums onto the 3 of the mds ive received with the player. I still have two 80 minute discs to go, and also the 1GB disc! The sound quality on this thing is awesome and the EQ does wonders. There are more features on this than most mp3 players. Trust me, if you are a music freak and love your music to sound good, especially...

Sony MZNH600D Hi-MD MiniDisc Walkman

Strengths: Doubles as a data disk; Great sound quality.

Weakness: None so far

Although obviously a music player/recorder, it is also great data storage device. It is small, bus powered (no need for bulky power supply), and each disk (about $7.00 each) holds 1GB of data!! For me the music is a bonus; better sounding than my mp3 players.

Sony MZNH600D Hi-MD MiniDisc Walkman

Strengths: 1 GB Capacity allows tons of music, plus additional 1 GB disks run only around $8. Sound quality excellent. Lightweight and SMALL compared to all non-flash memory devices.

Weakness: 1 GB disks only available online through Sony and a couple of other stores currently (Best Buy and Crutchfield). Transferring songs can take awhile. Proprietary software documentation weak.

I've only had the player for 1 day, but I already love it and I am glad I didn't buy a limited memory flash device or bulky hard drive based player. I have transferred about 10 full albums plus a few favorite songs to the player, and I've only used about 1/3 of the disk! The 6 band equalizer allows decent fine tuning of the sound, and it has 2 user definable equalizer settings in addtion to the 3...

Sony MZNH600D Hi-MD MiniDisc Walkman

Strengths: Cheap 1 Gig and 300mb rewritable MiniDisc's (can be used like a floppy). Can be used as a driverless free data drive. Uses usb power while plugged in. Small. Only takes 1 AA battery.

Weakness: Doesn't play MP3 or WMA natively and no ogg at all. It's very slow even though it says 100x, especially when converting from mp3. DRM, which means no uploading from MD. Buggy Software.

The new Hi-MD Mini Disc players could have been really cool. But Sony had to blow it with a lot of DRM restrictions and only supporting there own Atrac3 format. It does say it support MP3 and WMA, but that's missleading. It actually converts it to there Atrac3 format. And when you convert two different lossy formats (mp3, wma and atrac3) it makes the quality sound worse. In the prossess of...

Sony MZNH600D Hi-MD MiniDisc Walkman

Strengths: Good sound, small size player, large capacity

Weakness: Takes forever to transfer files. I intend to return this product if the 1GB disks are not freely available - at the moment they are unavailable.

Well made product and easy to use, although some of the format choices are not well explained in the manual. The three line readout has all the info you would expect such as album, band, tracks, length, time remaining etc. Also allows sorting of music in various ways. Battery life is amazing. The new 1GB disks allow you to store 45 hours of music. Regardless of which file format you decide to...

Sony MZNH600D Hi-MD MiniDisc Walkman

Strengths: Its life time warranty is very nice. Also the battery lasts for a very long time. It also hols a lot of music, and unlike the ipod you are not limited to the amount of music you can hold.

Weakness: plastic case- unlike the other metal minidisc players

I have used it for a while now, and love it. As long as your computer is pretty modern the music conversion is very fast. The batery can last for almost all week. Very small, and light wieght. It is the best thing I have found, and i recomend it to everyone

Sony MZNH600D Hi-MD MiniDisc Walkman

Strengths: Huge capacity. will have to think hard about filling it

Weakness: takes a while to transfer the files to the pod. some of my net mp3s do not work. You have to do some tricks to use protected wma files

I like it alot. The WMA problem is easily solved but still a pain. TO bypass it burn the WMA to a wave file to a cd. Then turn it into a mp3 file back on your computer and it can be traded to your md. I have no idea why i would need another HiMD unless it was one for me and one for my wife.

Sony MZNH600D Hi-MD MiniDisc Walkman

Strengths: LIGHTWEIGHT! functionality, playback features, storage capacity, included software, right price.

Weakness: no backlit screen for low light conditions

Lost my first minidisc snowboarding, found this one. Definitely upgraded by purchasing this one. I am in agreement with the other reviews. One player comes with a gig disc, and one player + 5 one gig discs is still $100 cheaper than ipod (storage on one disc is 45 60 min. cds). To get more discs, check out pricegrabber. Still plays all my old discs, and playback lasts for 16+ hours on one AA...

Everyone should Own one

Strengths: 1GB disks store more music than I need for a 3-4 day trip

Weakness: Difficult to find an athletic carry case that works for me

I recommend this to everyone!! It can store more music than I need at any one time! You could store over450 songs in 68K lp4 mode....its great. Also allows you to organize your music on each disk into folders.

Strongly Recommended

Strengths: Putting the songs on the disc is fast, long battery life, only uses one AA battery at a time, small, light, and durable

Weakness: Only holds about 10 CDs on a disc

I have had this for a year and I have shoved it in my backpack and dropped it a lot and it still works perfectly. It is easy to put songs on the disc and doesn't take to long. The songs play without ever skipping and sound great. I highly recommend this.
