This stylish player lets you store up to 5 hours of digital music and bring it with you on a single, skip-free MiniDisc for about the price of a large coffee.

Its USB connection delivers burn rates at up to 32x for your MP3s and CDs. A handy Jog Dial provides easy navigation, and SonicStage and MD Simple Burner Application software let you group your tunes and customize your playing environment. The player's 3-line LCD display provides album, artist and song title information on a clean, single screen. This player includes a headphone jack and headphones, but the single AA battery, which you'll need to take the device away from your computer, is not included. The Psyc Net comes in one color: Spark Gray. NOTE: The Psyc Net's recording features and bundled software are not compatible with the Mac OS operating system. What's in the Box:

I just bought this about a week ago, so take that in stock when you read this review. I plan to update it after I've owned it for longer. BUT here are my thoughts so far.
PROs:
--Over 5 hours of music on one MD
--Sound is very good, even at the highest compression rate it's just barely below CD-quality
--MDs are relatively inexpensive (about $2 apiece)
--Low price compared to most mp3 players
--Bass and treble are adustable
--Transferring music to MD is fairly simple and fast
--MDs can store track information (album name, song name, etc) and display it on the player
--Unit is very small (it fits quite comfortably in my pocket WITH my cell phone)
--HUGE battery life when playing music
--MDs are very easily rewritable
CONS:
--MD has limited memory for storing track information (normally not a problem but if you go much beyond about 80-90 songs it may not store names for all the tracks or albums)
--Actual transferring of songs to MD takes up quite a bit of battery power
--"Shuffle" setting does not shuffle among different groups (albums), but only in one group at a time (probably not a big deal to most people)
--No voice recorder (I don't care, but some people probably do)
--Very small display screen (but I got used to it pretty fast)
--Headphones are crap--use another pair

I was given this as a gift and especially since it was given to me, I love this thing. It's the poor man's ipod, who wants to spend $200+ when they could get this for like $60-80. It holds up to 50- *almost* 80 songs per disk I believe (each of my disks have a different amount-depending on the length of the songs),is skip proof, sound is great, and it's easy to transfer music onto. I find no fault with it. I've had it for over a year and it's held up beautifully, even with being dropped. So personally I think it's a great gadget to have if you can't afford or don't want to splurge on the oh so hyped ipod.
Sony Psyc Net MD Walkman Review September 21, 2004

Just the type of quality you would expect from a Sony product. This MiniDisc player is durable, sleek, and gets the job done very nicely. The only complaints I have is with the SonicStage software, but none from the Player itself. My problem with the software is just something that gets on my nerves, the fact that once I convert to LP4, I can't transfer it back to my library. Everything else in this is great, I can fit over 3-5 hours of music, less if I want to keep the full titles of songs, and amazing battery life. I listen to my MD Player about 1-2 hours a day, and have to replace the batter about once ever 1.5-2 months (one AA, how awesome). The MD Player is small, light, and doesn't skip (not that I've experienced) so it is PERFECT for joggers that don't want to risk the harddrive of an MP3 Jukebox. MiniDiscs are really cheap and easy to take in and out, come in cool colors, easy to store, and pretty durable. Also, MiniDisc players can stand more extreme temperatures. The only thing I wish that this had that it doesn't is a backlight, but that would ruin the good battery life.

This little product is the best ever! Some of the rewiews I've seen for this has been good but some bad.
Well the player itself is flawless, it almost seemes that I get even more than just 56 hours of playback. I have dropped mine twice and still it keeps on running(that doesn't happen often). Now the sound quality itself is just amazing. I play the drums and I most of the time play to music, so I use this, It's what I bought it for. I'll tell you now it hasn't let me down yet for 2 years. Now they could do a little improvement on the software, It's easy to use but on my computer it kept incountering errors. But I found out that if you have a Sony computer you'll never have a problem.

I love this player I have gone through 2 previous CD players and I thought it was time to upgrade so I got this. The software that comes with it works nicelybecause you can take it directly from the CD and put it ont the mini disk or you can put it on your computer first and then put it onto your mini disk. I was about to get an mp3 player an the store but I saw this and started thinking because with an mp3 player every time you want to change a set of songs you have to go to your computer and change them. With this you can fill up four or five disk worth and switch whenever you want. Also you can get a good mp3 player for about $120 but this one cost about $100 so i also looked to see how much extra disks cost. The mp3 player i would have gotten could hold 8 hours for $120 but i could get 5 more disks each with 5 hours on them (AND they are rewritable) and the mini disk player for under $110 so i decided to go with this. This is also great if you know other people that have Mini disk players because the Mini Disks are a lot easier to carry around and you can trade with other people. also the mini disks are like small floppy disks in physical size so the actual disk which the data is stored on is protected so you don't need to worry about it getting scratched.for the mini disk player here is an evaluation
sound quality(bass,treble,and all around quality) 5/5 great i have found no problems even on the lowest quality it is very clean and pure.
5/5 this fits in my pocket really well and the disks are small too so you can take this anywhere
volume control 5/5 as small as it is (about 3.5 inches by 4 inches and about an inch thick) this thing can go pretty dang loud so if you are in a noisy place you will be able to hear it
Headphones 2/5 this is the only bad thing about this they have low sound quality and i hardly used them. I was lucky because i already had another pair but this may add a little money on ($10-$20 for a decent pair).
Now on to the sofware this had one problem arise too but not too major. I think it was probably my computer's fault too
difficulty level of use 4/5 extremely easy just about anyone could do it. I gave it 4 instead of 5 because to do it properly you need to read the manual
overall 4.9/5 probably but lets just round up to 5/5 because it looks so cool.
I hope you have found this review helpful and if you are hesitant I would go get it. there is always a small chance that Someone may not like it (very small chance). in that case you could probably get it refunded. God luck in your choice but i think if you stop on this one it's a good choice
