Product Description
Product Description
Get high-tech, full-circle style and the most from digital music with Sony's D-NE715 portable CD player. The stylish player includes SonicStage CD Simple Burner software so you can take advantage of ATRAC3plus, Sony's proprietary music-compression technology when making custom MP3 CDs on a computer. The player includes Sony's popular Jog Dial control for easy folder navigation, a three-line dot-matrix display, 14 playback modes for the ultimate in music management and delivers more than 50 hours of continuous playback on two "AA" type batteries (not included).
ATRAC3plus is a high-quality audio-compression technology that reduces the size of digital audio files while preserving much of a track's original sound quality (similar in concept to MP3 or Dolby Digital sound formats). With ATRAC3plus, music can be burned and compressed at 132, 105, 66, 64, or even 48 kbps (kilobits per second), letting you select the right balance between fidelity and storage space (you'll get around 490 songs per disc at 48 kbps). The player comes bundled with Sony's SonicStage CD Simple Burner software. Compatible with ID3 tagging and most CD burners, this application transfers songs from CDs or MP3 music files from a PC's hard drive and burns them to a CD using ATRAC3plus compression.
Skip-Free G-Protection technology boosts the laser pickup's shock protection to minimise read errors that would otherwise interrupt your music, providing quick recovery from both horizontal and vertical shocks. Bookmark playback lets you program favourite songs from multiple CDs and play them back at the touch of a button, and CD Text support displays artist and title information with compatible commercial audio CDs.

Great little player,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony D-NE715 Blue ATRAC/MP3 CD Walkman (Electronics)
In brief.....Good points: Bad points: This is a great little player. Open the box and you'll be pleased to see it looks so much better than the picture. I'll skip over the fact it's a CD player and move onto MP3 and ATRAC which is why you would buy it. MP3 discs can be made up easily using Nero or any other writer software. You can put around 150 MP3 tracks onto one CD. The ATRAC discs can be made using the SonicStage software supplied. An incredible 330 tracks can be put on one disc using ATRAC (60kbps). The quality is very good. Ever so slightly lacking in the very top end of the treble, but it's still very good. The ATRAC CDs can be made up from audio CDs or MP3 files on your PC. The compression does take some time though. My poor old 500MHz PC takes around 9 hours (yes HOURS!) to compress and write one ATRAC CD of 330 tracks from MP3s. Once made up though the use of the discs is great. 75 albums on three discs. Navigate through the albums and tracks using Jog dial, even while the player is still playing. There's a three line display that shows all the track information. G-Protection - I've had the player one week, it's not skipped once. This includes 6 hours driving a minibus around country roads. The player loads the MP3/ATRAC track into the memory and then plays it from there. The CD stops spinning. So there's nothing moving that can skip. Battery life - Very good. The player comes with two AA 700mAh NiMH rechargable batteries, a power supply and a built in recharge circuit. The batteries last for ages. I've (rather needlessly) replaced them with 2100mAh batteries that should last 3 times longer. There are only three small negatives. First of all the volume. It's not going to blow your head off, but it is okay. Second, the headphones. I've never been a fan of in ear headphones. The sound quality is good, but I find they hurt my ears and fall out if I'm moving around. I can't imagine why a player that would be great for jogging would come with these. I'm going to replace them ASAP. The stick remote is useful though. Finally, There is a slight noise from the unit in between MP3/ATRAC tracks as the CD spins up to speed and the lens moves to read the track. Not a big problem, but a little irritating when listening to quiet tracks. Overall this is a great wee player and I would certainly recommend it.

Sony D-NE715,
This review is from: Sony D-NE715 Blue ATRAC/MP3 CD Walkman (Electronics)
This is purely a spectacular little gadget from Sony! Came before it's estimated delivery date..looking more than great. It looks a lot better than in the picture, a darker blue rim. The stick remote control was a slight disappointment with no LCD display, but is still slim, and light.Make an MP3 cd with about 200 songs on it, and use the scroll function to browse through your favourite bands (CD TEXT), and in the band folders to browse their songs. NO SKIPPING THROUGH SONGS OR JUMPING TRACKS! Only bad point in the world - no carry pouch- easy come easy go - buy a cheap one which will probably be better quality than sony's recent thin, garbagey cd pouches.

First Class CD/MP3 Player,
By drewrix (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony D-NE715 Blue ATRAC/MP3 CD Walkman (Electronics)
I looked at a lot of CD players before buying the Sony D-NE715 and it takes alot of beating for looks, all round quality and value for money.It came packaged very safely within two days with everything you need including a mains adapter/charger, ear phones, rechargable batteries and the software for ATRAC3/ATRAC3PLUS. The ATRAC system is fantastic and very easy to use, i was able to put 22 audio CD's onto one CDR/RW which saves me carrying loads of CD's around and the quality of the ATRAC files are excellent. The only negative points about the D-NE715 are the ear phones which are not the best shape i have ever used so its worth investing in a set of new ones. Also the display on the main unit is not backlit so pretty tricky to read at night and there is no display on the remote controls which would have just given it that bit extra. All in all the best CD/MP3 player in this price bracket !
