An excelent product! I would recommend a Sony MiniDisk player to anyone still using a walkman or CD player!


1 out of 5 stars This is NOT an MP3 Player   September 1, 2007
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

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).



5 out of 5 stars Great Minidisc Recorder / Player at an affordable price   June 7, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I needed a portable player to listen to the music I had recorded on minidiscs using my Sony JE-330 and JE-630 minidisc decks and I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money so I took a chance and ordered the DN430 which I found to be an excellent recorder and player. I also like the software - however I would recommend going to Sony's website and downloading (for free)the latest version of Sonic Stage. I found Sonic Stage to be very easy to use and navigate - in addition to recording to the minidisc player it also allows you to convert MP3 files to regular audio CD files and vice - versa and record either an MP3 CD or regular audio CD. Also the software provided with the DN430 contains an MD Simple Burner program for quick transfer of music to the minidisc player from regular audio CD's. Overall the DN430 minidisc player is a great alternative to IPODs and other flash memory player/ recorders. When a minidisc player breaks you can always buy a new one without loosing all of your recorded music, whereas with the flash memory players you can loose all your music should they break or seriously malfuntion. Another thing I like about the DN430 is the long battery life - up to 56 hours on a single AA battery!


5 out of 5 stars Sony MiniDisc Walkman   May 7, 2007
Had purchased for a Christmas gift to replace an old minidisc player but didn't think of ordering it until the last minute. I was sure it would not arrive in time for Christmas but I was okay with that. To my surprise it arrived Christmas Eve day!
