Has Sony finally gotten a Clue with the
Network Walkman

Has Sony finally gotten a Clue with the
Network Walkman 07/01/2004 05:32 PM

I'll be honest I don't think so. I love Sony products I am typing this article on a Sony Vaio and I have a lot of Sony products in my home. I always like Sony products and being my wife is from Japan she is a fan of Sony too. I draw the line though when it comes to buying vehicles as I am a die hard Chevrolet man. Anyway this Network Walkman that may or may not play the MP3 format and supposedly has a 30 hour battery life but only 20 gigs of storage priced at about the same as a Apple 40 gig iPod.

Give me a break Sony if you would have not been so scared that those ripping music was going to hurt your music division. I think they better wake up and smell the roses ripping of music is not going to stop and I bet their entire library is available on the P2P networks. [Engad get]

Sony SCD-DR1 Super Audio CD Player

Sony SCD-DR1 Super Audio CD Player 08/13/2004 11:04 AM

Sony's new "SCD-DR1" Super Audio CD/Audio CD player is apparently the pinnacle of high quality audio playback - or at least we hope so with its $11,000 price tag. Sporting audio interfaces you probably haven't heard of, such as the "High Quality Digital Audio Transmission System," the player can output using optical, coaxial, balanced digital, and even i.Link (Sony's FireWire flavor) ports. The latter should help you with those 200Mbps Super Audio CD DSD (Direct Stream Digital) transfers.

Sounds expensive. Oh, that's right, it is expensive. Let's hope you get what you pay for.

Sony MZ-NH600 Hi-MD Player Reviewed

Sony MZ-NH600 Hi-MD Player Reviewed 06/30/2004 09:23 AM

Sony's new Hi_MD MiniDisc players are creeping onto the market, and while most of us have passed over MiniDisc for bigger and presumably better things, the Hi-MD will let proponents of the standard eke along for a while longer, with 1GB of storage per disc and up to 45 hours of music at the lowest, crappiest compression rate. I don't feel like I have to throw up a bunch of MiniDisc disclaimers at this point -- if you're interested in the new low-end Sony MZ-NH600 player, for instance, you probably already know what you're getting into. Australian IT has the review, and except for the overly complicated 5-way controls, they give the plastic player a generally passing grade.

Another Hard Disk Sony Video Player?

Another Hard Disk Sony Video Player? 08/02/2004 10:25 AM

So there's stink about this one possibly being a fake, but there's a new Sony hard disk-based video player on Japanese website CD Report that claims to have a 20GB hard drive crammed into a unit just a hair bigger than the iPod mini (hence, the fake rumors). If it is legit, it is supposed to be released sometime around Christmas for a price in the neighborhood of $450 - not a bad price if it ends up being the real deal.

Of course, Sony learned from the HMP-A1 that people might actually like players that could support native MP3 playback, so the new unit is rumored to have only ATRAC support (that means, basically, that this thing will be a dud as a music player).

Item! I have it on good word that Sony is planning on launching another hard drive-based music player, called the Sony NW-HD1. It's all rumor at this point, of course, but according to my source it will be branded under the Walkman name and has "far better styling than the Vaio offer." Sony is apparently shopping it around to various outlets now to see what people think in preparation of an autumn launch. If anyone can grab me a picture of this mythical new unit, I would bake you the most delicious cupcake man has ever baked. Developing!

Sony’s Network Walkman NW-HD1 - the

Sony’s Network Walkman NW-HD1 - the
world’s smallest 20GB ATRAC3 player. 07/01/2004 08:41 PM
Engadget: Sony’s Network Walkman NW-HD1 - the world’s smallest 20GB ATRAC3 player. "The Network Walkman is supposed to be able to get an astounding thirty hours of battery life on a single charge." Dell has been advertising "twice the battery life of iPod" on the radio lately, but the fast talk at the end of the commercial says they assume 64kbps files. Most people probably have 128kbps files on their iPods, so the Dell DJ probably accesses the hard disk half as often -- voila, twice the battery life. And if you use 48kbps audio, like Sony does, then you get three times the iPod's battery life -- around 30 hours. When everybody's using the same parts, the only way to get a 2x or 3x advantage is to cheat.
