After hearing friends horror stories of ipod battery failure and hard drive failure just outside the warranty. And being mugged for there ipod (the advert is in the headphones). My wife bought me this cd player for my birthday back in april due to the fact i am officially a gadget freek, and Sony's best advert (most products in my home are Sony). I can honestly say with the level of sound quality on offer from both mp3 and ATRAC why would you want an ipod. Then more importantly factor in the CD playback ... Read More
Rating: - Software update note
The SonicStage software has now gone into version 4.0 and allows updated "ATRAC Advanced Lossless" mode which means that @ 132kbps transfer with ATRAC setup (remember that mp3 bite rate is much lower than this!), one can "rip" CD's without any sound quality diminution from the original and then burn to ATRAC or ordinary CD's with the quality enhanced. There are also lots of other software improvements that add to the attractiveness of the Sony player.

Rating:  - opera from an atrac?
I was very interested to read an over 40 year old listening to opera on a Sony Atrac CD Walman. I tried and gave up.

I contacted Sony and they said there was nothing they could do. So it's a Creative MP3 for me. There is only a tiny hiccough between tracks.
Rating: - a big (little) surprise
this replaced my 2 year old sony mp3/atrac cd player, and boy what a difference. The first thing you notice is the size. While not quite in the ipod league, it's as small as the size of a cd will let it be, and about as thick as a cd in its case. The supplied earbuds are surprisingly good, but are already in a drawer I'm afraid. The remote is superb, backlit and intuitive to use, comes with a little drawstring bag, emblazoned with Sony logo's, but it's all you need as once it's in your pocket the remote ... Read More
