This is NOT an MP3 Player
|
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). |
