Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony MZNH600D Hi-MD MiniDisc Walkman
Customer Review: Soured on Sony
Summary: 1 Stars
This review is more about the Hi-MD concept in general than one particular player.
The sound quality was excellent. The rest of the product and concept deserves to die in the marketplace.
Complaints:
-The only thing that isn't proprietary is the headphone jack and the AA battery. Beyond that, Sony's dual role as a content provider (complete with nasty intellectual property lawyers) and equipment manufacturer fatally compromises usuability of this line of players. No Macintosh support is just the beginning. Proprietary compression algorithms. Weird and twisted upload/download rules. Wrong choices made at every point of the PRD process.
-100x recording speed? Make that 4x on a good day. 100x speed is a specification that should attract the attention of Elliot Spitzer, if he only cared.
-The players are flimsy. Just walking with mine caused it to skip. And one hard fall to the floor and it stopped working entirely. Sony will charge you to honor the warranty (parts only--no labor). By contrast Apple replaced my daughter's iPod no questions asked when it started developing hard disk hiccups.
-Trying to find Hi-MDs offers the thrill of the hunt, if you're into that kind of thing. But their rarity suggests that Sony is at best half-hearted about supporting this device.
I used to be a loyal Sony customer, but now believe they have gone almost irretrievably downhill. Sleek designs do not compensate for disfunctional product management and shoddy manufacturing. In fact, I'm planning an HD TV purchase next year and have Sony far down on the list of possibilities. You can find better quality and value almost anywhere else these days.
Howard, are you listening?
Customer Review: Trash
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product three months ago, and it is already broken, making it the second SONY product that I have gone through in six months. I wrote a review a couple months back after I had first bought it thinking that it was a great product and that I would be perfectly satisfied over an iPod. My opinion has now changed, as I have now been so enlightened to notice that SONY as a whole has gone downhill, and I will not in fact be buying the PlayStation 3 I had so anticipated now that I am seeing that SONY has chosen the path of faulty and tmeperamental products. Microsoft has just gained one more customer. Heed my words: under no circumstances should you buy this product. Just save your money and buy an iPod.Customer Review: Total Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I made the mistake of selling my old Net MD devices and buying several of these MZ-NH600D units to replace the old ones. At first, it seemed like they were a great replacement to the old models. Greater storage. Can connect to PC and use as a drive. It is now 3 months later and 2 of the ones I bought have broken. One, broke a month and a half after I bought it, was serviced, returned and broke again. Sony should be ashamed of putting their names on this junk. They were obviously trying to squeeze out profit on these units at the expense of quality and customer satisfaction.Customer Review: I hate this product

There is no way to digitally transfer information from the MD Walkman to the computer / CD rom, making this an expensive piece of junk. A toy not worth the effort. I am unbelievably disappointed with this product and it's software.
