Summary: I thought it was great....
Review: I bought this product 6 months and I was very excited then since it have fulfilled all my expectations and my needs! it was just what I wanted...MP3, car kit and remote control, G Protection, and used less batteries. Until recently, this CD player started skipping and also making scratching noise as I tilted or shake it smoothly! I have not dropped it and it should have G protection, so should not skip! I really don't know what happened. I am now a little disappointed.

Summary: Help, please.
Review: I have been looking for an MP3 player to replace my Sony D-CJ01 for quite a while. I've always been a big Sony fan, but due to problems and a shorter than expected life of my D-CJ01, I'm a little leary to spend this kind of money on another Sony player. There doesn't seem to be much good competition out there with the features I'm looking for, so if you own one of these would you please write a review, or e-mail me with your thoughts on this model. Let's face it, with a warranty of 1 year on parts, & 90 days on labor, if you have a problem you know they're gonna rape you on the labor charge, so it's really a 90 day warranty. I found this out the hard way. I'm also a little disappointed that the SonicStage software isn't Mac compatible, but do I really need it to play MP3's? 3 stars because I'm neutral for now.

Summary: WOW!!!!
Review: I must say, I was a little hesitant at first to buy this product. After receiving it not 3 hours ago, I can clearly state this is one of the best combinations of price, features, usibility, and duribility EVER concocted by ANY portable audio company\makers!!!! Even though this player does not have any of the preset EQ's of a panasonic, or the shiny-ness of an RCA, or the super unnecesary anti skip of an iRiver, it is in my opinion still one of the best in the biz. I was really looking for a cd player than had an LCD display on the lid, and walla, this player has a crisp and clear dot matrix with enough room to display pretty much everything you need.
The digital bass is some of the strongest, richest sound production I have ever listened to, and it completely makes up for the lack of preset eqs (that are on panasonic players). The balance of sound is mastered. And trust me, i listen to everything...Punk, Heavy Metal, Pop, Classical, Jazz, Blues, Johnny Cash (heh heh) Techno, Dance, you name it, i listen to it.
The controls are very cleverly placed on the lid and on the sides. They are easy to find and use.
Another clever design desicion i found is that the players lid opens sideways when compared to the LCD screen. This is because the AA batteries go in the back of the player, behind the horizontal LCD. This causes, when the player is put on a flat surface, a ever so slight increase in the readability of the screen, but not so noticible as to take away the style and smallness of the player in general.

All in all, get this. Im serious. Stop reading and buy this player. Really stop. Im not kidding!!!! GRRRR BUY IT!

Summary: Message to "An Electronics Fan"
Review: I've been looking for reviews of this product myself, with no help from anyone on the net yet. I can answer some of your questions and give you some help about MP3 players I have owned if you would like to swap e-mails.

Summary: This IS an MP3 player...
Review: Im not sure what the other reviewer of this product is talking about. The D-NE718CK IS most definitely an MP3 player. Without using any of the included software, i popped in a cd of my mp3s and started listening to them 2 seconds after opening the player.

Summary: Poor MP3 Sequencing
Review: It is nice that Sony supports ID3 tagging, but I don't understand the logic in using these internal MP3 tags to sequence the playing order of your data files. Winamp, and my old Philips CD-Player, both use the file name to sequence the playing order of the data files. I believe this makes more sense, because it makes the data files easier to identify, and gives the user more control of their content.

Summary: NOT an mp3 player!
Review: Shame on Sony for trying to sell a ATRAC3 player as mp3 player. I believe there's no mp3 decoder on this or if it is then its pathetic.

192kbps and 256kbps mp3's sound like radio quality. The hardware is definitely not designed for mp3's but for Sony's copyright protected format.

Save your time and get something which is a real mp3 player (iRiver, MPIO, Creative etc).

Summary: good CD player
Review: the cD player give u the moneys worth i think. All of sony CD player's are pritty good i think. They NORMALLY have good quality.(SOME DON'T)I think the buttons on this CD player are too close. If you have big fingers you might wana stay away from this CD player.I am right now looking 4 a new sony cd player AND i was wondering if you can buy different remotes for the CD players. It be cool if you could.I hate the car remotes!
