 One reason why you shouldn't buy this overpriced product! December 28, 2008
A. A. Suleman (Edinburgh, Scotland)
I bought the Sony NW-HD1 mp3 player because I didn't want to follow the cliche of walking around with white earphones and thought the iPod was the result of excellent marketing rather than a product that has stood the test of time as opposed to many Sony products.
After 18 months despite the fact that it has G-shock protection, and let me assure you that I have taken exceptional care and never dropped it, it has started malfunctioning and dying.....why?....I just don't know....I have been told that it would cost over 70 to get it fixed....well I could buy a new 16gb Sony mp3 player for under 90!!!!
I constantly need to turn it off by having to switch it from built-in battery underneath and then back on again to reset it and this may need to be performed up to 30 times or more before to 'un-freeze' it. ......Although this is not always guaranteed and sometimes it stays frozen until it decides when it wants to behave without malfunctioning!!!
I am seriously angry at the fact that I took such care of my mp3 player....my advice......DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT....it is lot of money to spend on something if this is going to happen.....if I had the same problem with a cheap mp3 player it would maybe still have been a worthwhile investment as you expect it to die sooner or later but then at least you haven't wasted so much money....with Sony you expect MORE...because you PAY SO MUCH and you expect QUALITY in return...............more to the point I'm not sure I will ever buy a Sony product again after the reviews I've read about Sony Vaios and what friends have told me about their PC laptops especially considering how much you pay for any Sony product. I'm now going to buy an iPod at least I've never known anyone to have experienced problems with their Apple mp3 player.Sony NW-HD1 20GB Network Walkman / Digital Audio Player - Silver.
 this is not mp3 player December 6, 2008

NW-HD1 is very good player about weight, size, user friendly. however it can not play track with mp3 and wav format, this is main problem for me
because 1 have more than 1000 music cd and also more the 100gb mp3 in my pc, but i cannot play them because of atrac3 format, sonicstage is awful
i really disappointed by this sony product because of sonicstage and atrac3 format.
however if mp3 format is not important for you, this is good one to buy

This device is easily the best music player on the market for the cost. I gave it 1* because the software that you have to use is shocking.
The menu system within the device is the worst I have ever used and many of my friends simply cannot use it, but all agree it is a great bit of kit.
Because this device only uses atrac not mp3 ,THIS IS NOT AN MP3 PLAYER by the way, you can only use Sonys own SonisStage and this is bad. It just will not work properly. All of the existing MP3 library in your PC needs converting to atrac. This takes a long time. Atrac is very good but there is a problem If I rip a CD using SonicStage it regularly only rips some songs, I re-rip with WMP or Real or iTunes etc and no problems.
Many of my CD's, no matter how or when ripped, will not transfer using SonicStage. It feels like a beta product that is mowhere near ready for the public.
There are more issues with compilation CD, CD with suites of songs, eg Oxford #suite Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 etc. This stupid software only notices the first and I assume thinks the rest are duplicates and ignores them.
It feels like the software is assuming that I don't own my files and will not let me access many files. Even though the files are named/ listed in every other media player Sonicstage won't touch them. SonicStage seems to destroy WMP and Real. They fail if NW-HD1 is plugged in or if I have used SonicStage. I must logg off and start computer again. Pain in the rear
You cannot buy this device until there is alternative software. I cannot stress enough just how big an issue this.

First off let me say that, physically, I found this a great product. However, the format of files that it uses makes it an extremely bad choice for anyone who thinks that they may outlive the player.
Talking about formats of files may sound techy, but it isn't. This device uses a Sony format for files (ATRAC3) which no-one else uses. That means that files ripped using the software provided cannot be used with other devices. Whats more, it is impossible to convert them.
During the time I have owned one of these, I have ripped in the region of 4,000 tracks from my CD collection (not something that takes 5 minutes to do). Thanks to Sony's stupid format and file protection, now that I come to change device, I have lost about 90% of them.
This will happen to anyone buying this device using ATRAC3 format files. I strongly recommend buying something else if you have files that you want to keep - as Sony's format is not portable and you will lose your music collection.

I am currently a Sony NW-HD1 owner, and I think that it is excellent value for money, the quality is good and I don't have any problems with the software.
I was originally going to purchase an iPod but decided against it in the weight and size issue. The Sony device is not as heavy and you can also attach a neck strap to it (one of those things that USB discs come on)and wear it around your neck whilst doing aerobics etc.
I have had mine now for almost 2yrs and it has not let me down yet. The battery life is excellent, I have not replaced it yet. It is easy to use. Although there are not many accessories to go with it I also use mine in my car using one of those tape connector things and the sound through my speakers is fantastic!
Really I would given a second chance beween iPod and Sony choose the Sony again.
