Sony MZ-N420D Psyc Net MD Walkman Digital Music Player

Fantastic Little Player. You will read plenty of reviews telling you how terrible the SonicStage software is. Don't believe it. SonicStage and the ATRAC sound system was the best music system ever made. The sound and compression ratios are greatly superior to MP3. The problem was that SONY devised a proprietary method for putting the music onto the Walkman device which in and of its self was not a bad idea. If you own the CD it is very easy to transfer the music to the Walkman device, if on the other hand you have swapped out a whole set of MP3's from your friends and never properly paid the artists for their work then you would have trouble transferring the MP3 to ATRAC also if you buy all of your music from iTunes and try to transfer to ATRAC there could be a problem. I've used the SonicStage ATRAC system for all of my music for years and have never had a problem. Anyway in my humble opinion ATRAC was and is the best sound system ever made. Enjoy :)

I bought this Minidisk player and it didn't work. I returned it to the seller, EEK technology and sent me a replacement. The second was also defective. I got their ok to return this and I still haven't a replacement player. I have wrote to them and they have blown me off. DO NOT BUY FROM EEK Technology. They are theives!!!!!!!!!!!!

Head phones needed to be tossed in the trash as the foam covering had disintegrated.

We had to spend another $10 to get a cord delivered.

Very pleased

Unlike earlier Sony Minidisc portables,this unit can't record directly from a CD player.It can only record via a computer and with a computer initiating the recording process.Fortunately,I have a hifi component Minidisc recorder to record on.More troubling is that the first unit I got of this model failed immediately.It powered up,but could never start playing a disc,and the unit made mechanical noise as it struggled to spin the disc.I opted to send the unit back to Sony instead of the Amazon marketplace merchant.Don't repeat my mistake.Sony exchanges for a reconditioned(not new) unit,though I never got one second of playback out of the original unit.Sony's recoditioned unit plays fine,but the piece of computer CD-Rom software supplied has a few scratches(I don't know if there will ever be occasion for me to use it since I'm a MAC owner, and the software can only be used with PC's).It would seem that the phasing out of Minidisc portables that can copy directly from a CD player is a music industry power play to get more control over how,or if music can be copied onto Minidisc.I bought this unit only because I have a substantial existing collection of homemade Minidiscs.For newcomers,I would say,buy a portable CD player and forget Minidisc.

Yes ! It was as he stated ,Very clean. Played a used mini disc from another sale and it sounds great. Will buy from this vendor again !

We bought this device for a gift and when they opened it, it did not work, when we asked about return or replace they gave a one line reply about it being outside of the return date of 30 days. they did not offer any technical support or even a sorry about it not working.
