Digital camera reviews of Sony MZ-N420D Net MD Walkman (Blue)
Digital camera Review: Both wrong
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, first off the MD player does not convert your existing MP3s on your hardrive to a new format on said same hard drive, but only when transfering to the player itself. The format the player uses isn't called alltrack but ATRAC3 (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding).
[...]ATRAC of course is a proprietary format that is in compitition with MP3 and any music you download from [...] site will be in that format, however I will restate that it is the player that does the conversion not the software on your PC. When you build your library in the software it just points to the MP3s. I would have seriously noticed if my 7.3GB of MP3s were duplicated on the drive where the software is installed since I do not have that much room left on that drive.
Digital camera Review: Defective walkman
Summary: 2 Stars
The sony minidisc walkman that we received was defective. It did not function in the "shuffle" mode. However, we did appreciate being able to return the item for a refund.Digital camera Review: Fustration
Summary: 3 Stars
The MZ-N420D can not directly record from any out put sorce such as a radio etc... It can however hook up through your computer via usb cable.. i have yet to set it up succesfully, as it is actualy quite a bit of a hassle. The software seems dated and wont recognise the MD's presence at all. I have tryed trouble shooting to no avail... Hopefully this was not a wasted purchase...
I gave it a 3 star ratting for now until I can get this thing to work in which case i will change the review/add another one.
Digital camera Review: Glitchy software and more!
Summary: 1 Stars
---VERY IMPORTANT----The software supplied converts your mp3/wma files to an alltrac format only usable on your computer and your sony netmd!!! (I think they do this for copyright purposes, but what if your mp3 files are ones you recorded in a studio yourself?!?!?)
I do not recommend this product as the software railroads you into buying from their site(connect.com) in alltrac format, which is the only format the netmd players play!!! Thats right, it does NOT play mp3. It does NOT play wma files. It only plays files converted into alltrac form!
Digital camera Review: Good Product
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a good product. Not as good as an MP3 player with internal memory, as it is bulkier. But, it is great for the price. The only drawback is, it is somewhat larger than a player with internal memory. Running with it can be uncomfortable at times...if you are a runner, you may prefer a smaller mp3 player, one you can put in your shorts pocket....
