Rating: 
- Best in Class
I have been really impressed with the Hd-MD format. It has advantages over hard disc based audio players as it uses simple AA batteries. Hard disc systems use an internal rechargable battery which eventually gives up. It is perfect for travel as you do not need to carry a charger. The sound quality is fantastic and and it can be used to carry non-audio files as an external drive.
I would recommend this model which I have been suing for 4 months.
Rating: - Well impressed
I wanted one of these things because I'm not a huge fan of music and don't plan on spending over 100 pounds on something that hold music so I got this. I am very impressed. The navigational system is very clever although I didn't get you had to hold the button to get onto menu. Then I had to try and put some music onto it, it was soooo simple, I put a couple of albums on and even though I converted it to 48 KBPS (which sounds great even though it is the worst quality) it took hardly any time at all. And the sonicstage application is great. The biggest test was yet to come, the listening. I put it on and though it takes a little bit of time to play when it does it is every bit as good as the ipod. I bought some Phillips earphones as I felt the ones that come with it aren't up to the job. And once I'd done this I never have to put the volume over half to be able to block out the whole world. The last thing was the battery life. I got it for Christmas and as you can imagine I was playing it non-stop and despite this the battery life still lasted for a week. So if you just want something to hold music, not something to look good. But if you want something to look good then get the ipod, because that is a great piece of kit, but it has got a rival in this

- Great storage
I love the amount of storage you can get on this little thing, especially as the sound quality is as good as CD.
I wish instruction books were clearer as I thought you had to press the rotating wheel to put up the volume thinking that was part of the five way switch I got a sore finger and found out much later that it's the button in the middle that is five way(you nudge it left,right up,down and press in).Apart from that it's a great machine, toally skip-free unless you lay it on a washing machine on full spin! I dropped it and it didn't skip.
Rating: - better by far
Better than any MP3 player on the market. Yes including that one. So for you people who spend 200 pounds on the little white box, you were done. hi md is infinitely better by far. I can fit 40 of my CDs onto the one disc.
Rating: - wow!!!
I ordered this on first class mail from amazon and typical of the shop it came right on time intact and ready to use.
The box contained:
The MD player
A set of earphones
A CD of bundled software
A USB cable
and the manual
When I first powered it up the first thing that hit me was... how quiet it was, not just quiet, silent!!! so no more whizzing of gears from the old days of CD players:)
The downloading was... AMAZING!!! i plugged it in and was pleasantly surprised to find XP recognises it as a mass storage device so you can use the MDs as data CDs. I bought 10 normal 80 minute MDs and discovered that, because the player treats them as data disks, you can store much more on them than a conventional netMD. The software was easy to use as all you have to do is import files from your music (SonicStage gives you an option to search out all the music files on your PC. if like me you have a lot, dont use this as it will take ages:)) the converting and burning are done simultaneously which makes it so much easier as you can set it off and leave it.
Playback is sooo easy, it sorts out all the music into albums and then you can easily navigat your way through a lot of music.
in conclusion, if you are looking for a modern minidisk with a lot of features, but you are on a budget, go for it
