Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Just OK
This is the second minidisc player I've owned.My first one (Sony MZ-R30) was exceptional in quality so maybe it isn't fair to compare the two... but this newer one is slow to respond, awkward to open, and the control panel is slightly hard to see.The sound is fine.My main complaint is the slow operating speed and clumsiness of opening it to insert the disc.I probably would not recommend this item unless you don't care about ease of use.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Sony MZNH600D
I'd read a lot about the Hi-MD format so I wanted to check it out in person.I don't know how in the world I missed this when shopping, but this model DOES NOT HAVE A MICROPHONE, NOR ANY WAY TO USE ONE WITH IT!Well, shop twice buy once I reckon.To me that eliminates at least half of the usefulness of such a device, but it's my fault for not finding that out before buying.

So why the 4 stars?Because, as a player it's awesome.The Hi-MD format is everything I'd read, I can't for ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The only way to listen to music
The 1 gig capacity and atracplus codec are reason enough to use HiMD.The fact that the media is removable makes this device even more attractive.If your hardrive player or flash player breaks and it will, or if the battery fails then you can't access any of the music on the player.In contrast, you always have your mini-discs.Minidiscs last longer than cds.I've had cds corrupt data in as few as 2 years.Minidiscs have a much longer life span.Minidiscs are rewritable a million times according ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Only if Sony upgrade it to USB 2.0
The Pros:It's a thing of beauty.Some people say it's made of cheap plastic.Well may be true priced at $100.00+, but that aside I would have to disagree.Runs on a single AA battery for days.Sound quality is excellent for compress music.The bad . . .It uses the obsolete USB 1.0 so it take 45 min to 1 hr to transfer 1gb music or data.Sonicstage isn't music-sharing friendly.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - DO NOT USE AS A DATA DRIVE!!
I have been a long time user of Sony's minidisc equipment. I mainly liked the removable media feature. For about $3, I could copy a whole CD to one regular minidisc and keep it in my media library. The early units seem to be made better. The more recent units look to be cheaply made. There is one inherent design flaw with a media that has to spin. The read/write heads have to move back and forth across the media, and this is the weak point. There is a tiny ribbon cable that attaches to the read/write head. ... Read More
