Review on 🎧 Sony D-NE300 ATRAC Walkman Portable CD Player in Blue by Flavio Scarola

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Thoughtful design

I recently bought this player and it's great. I agree with many of the positives and negatives that many reviewers have already mentioned. I decided to add my own list of what I like and don't like to help future buyers. When I was looking for a player, I was mainly looking for an MP3 audio book player. I have CDs with multiple tracks, each 1-2 hours long. Here are the features I like: the ability to pause and then pick up where you left off; playlist support (up to two); and displaying the ID3 tag. I also like the built-in features for browsing the songs on the CD. You can even see while the track is playing. In general, the design of the player seems well thought out. I got this very cheap cassette player and it has all the features it promises but hardly any. There are all sorts of quirks that make it difficult to use. Not this player; There are all sorts of quirks that make you want to use this player. For me there is a weak point in this player and that is the fast forward speed. It's the ideal speed for normal music playback (5-minute songs), but if you want to fast-forward a 2-hour conversation, it's slow. Well, it can't be everything.

Pros
  • Includes SonicStage CD Simple Burner software that makes it easy for ATRAC3plus to burn CDs from MP3 files and other CDs
Cons
  • boring packaging
