Sony MZ-N420D Net MD Walkman (Blue) Review

See more picture

A recent review I read in PC Magazine where they felt the ATRACbr /format was noisy, not the case. A disk I started (using ATRAC) sounds roughly as good as some disks I dubbed using an MD deck some time earlier. Hence my decision to go with this technology as opposed to the FLASH RAM or hard drive based devices since I already had an MD library. It sounds pretty good, not great as it is a portable device and my ears are pretty good for such things. I hope it lasts a while because looks like Sony is getting ready to bail on the MD format and I don't want return to make any more Sony electronics (non-media) purchases. Don't get me started on the rootkit nonsense because I believe the music execs all deserve jail for creating a new conduit for spyware.

unhappy - R. Johnson -
We were unhappy with this product. We have a asortment of mini disk and we thought we could play them on this player, but it has its own mini tape that it only plays. You have to record on it and can ONLY play what you recorded on it.
