Amazon.com Product Description
Looking for a portable audio solution that is affordable and easy to use? Sony's line of MiniDisc players deliver precisely that, and a lot more. With sleek urban styling and excellent shock protection, the Sony MZ-DN430 offers a great way to join the MiniDisc club. Each MiniDisc-- which, by the way, costs about a buck-- can store up to 177 MB of music data, enough space for up to five hours of music. Using the included SonicStage and MD Simple Burner software, you can upload ATRAC3-encoded music to the device. The software supports conversion of MP3, WAV and WMA formats to ATRAC3, so you can record directly to the device at up to 32x speeds. Music uploads are handled by the MZ-DN430's USB connector, so you'll need a USB-capable PC for music transfers. While you can convert and play your own music on the MZ-DN430, the player is also fully compatible with Sony's Connect Music Store. The Connect store offers one of the most extensive music collections online. Customers can choose single tracks or entire albums from independent and major-label artists for purchase and download. In addition to the rugged Psyc design that protects your player as you bump your way through the day, the MZ-DN430 also has built-in "G-Protection" for skip-free performance. And because the MZ-DN430 is built to be efficient, you'll get up to 56 hours of continuous playback with one AA battery. What's in the Box
MZ-DN430 Net MD Walkman, headphones, SonicStage Software, MD Simple Burner Application, USB cable, 1 MiniDisc.

 This thing is great! December 23, 2008
Joe Logan (Hillsville, VA USA)
This thing really is great. It is true that you can get 50hrs. of use off of one AA battery. I have had this MD player for two years and I love it! It is just a rock solid machine; that's all there is to it. The discs are great too. they are small, lite and easy to carry. They are pretty cheep($1.50 app.) too, considering that they hold five hours of tones. The only thing about them is that you can't find them in stores, but you can get them on Amazon.com. It is not an ipod, but, in some ways I thank it is better. For one thing, it is SOOOO much cheaper, and frankly, it's more reliable than an ipod because there's not as much that can go wrong. It's not as sophisticated as an ipod. Though it's not quite as small and portable as an ipod, it really does have some advantages over it, I think. I am sorry that MD players never realy caught on, because they are realy cool. I wish more people knew about them. So, if your looking at this, GET ONE! You can afford it and I don't think you'll be disappointed.
 Don't buy it off Amazon! Marketplace sellers use USPS and it takes weeks! December 23, 2008
Xeys (Houston, TX USA)
It doesn't matter who you get it from, the marketplace sellers on amazon use USPS. The tracking doesn't work, and it takes weeks to get your item. Use Ebay and get it from a seller who will use UPS with tracking.

This is NOT an MP3 Player September 1, 2007

Contrary to popular myth, this is NOT an MP3 player. It only plays a proprietary format. The PC desktop software will convert MP3 music to the proprietary format - and it will rip CDs to the proprietary format - but it's still a proprietary format.
Additionally, after you have gone through the trouble and effort of making one of the mini-CDs it is only usable on Sony products. If your next MP3 player is an MP3 player versus a Sony lock-in, your mini-disks and the data they contain are useless. You'll have to go through and reconvert all of your songs.
Even more irritating is that the software can only be run if you are logged in to the administrator account. Given Sony's root-kit fiascoes, do you trust them? Since the unit was purchased for my daughter, she has to ask permission to be logged into the computer each time she wants to make a new disk.
My daughter finally decided that she really didn't like the mini-disk format and wanted a flash memory based MP3 player. We purchased a Sansa ... and had to convert all of her songs again. (We are happy with the Sansa).
