Product Description

 
Sony Network Walkman NW-HD1, the new music-only player powered by a 1.8-inch hard drive, enough RAM to provide 25 minutes of skip-free playing, and an impressive 30 hour battery life. While initial reports mention that the NW-HD1 will support MP3, WMA, and WAV -- and technically, that's true -- it seems the "support" comes via the same old Sony trick of converting everything to ATRAC3 on the fly. That still could put some consumers off as it will not link directly with some download music sites. Still, this is the one they're counting on to make a dent in the iPod's dominance, it's got a couple of problems, with the ATRAC3 and probable lack of WMA DRM files.

Vengeance Weapon 1

Date of Review:  Aug 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: While this Walkman reminds us of Sony';s superior engineering, it cannot match Apple';s openness and ease of use.
Review: The NW-HD3 has just been announced. It is compatible with MP3 and has a beautiful updated design. Multiple colors (I love the black model) are available. This could be a winner; all that matters now is the price...

Like every other digital...

Pros
Smaller, thinner, lighter and better...
Cons
Still requires ATRAC3 conversion
 

Not perfect but pretty close!

Date of Review:  Jan 31, 2005
The Bottom Line: Gorgeous player that holds about 200 CD's in highest audio quality while fitting inside the palm of your hand. What more can you possibly ask for?
Review: Introduction

I have always been in love with portable music and since my first portable cassette player I have worn out an entire selection of various Walkmans and Discmans (Discmen?).

It didn't take long until I fell in love...

Pros
Small size, beautiful design,...
Cons
Slightly annoying background noise, no...
 

Finally, MP3-friendly, but still not an all-pleasant experience

Date of Review:  Feb 10, 2005
The Bottom Line: Excellent hardware form factor is marred by so-so user interface on the player and next-to-terrible interface of SonicStage software. Patience pays.
Review: Finally, MP3-friendly, but still not an all-pleasant experience

4 stars

In NW-HD3, Sony finally added native MP3 support to its tiny hard disk-based digital music player, so no conversion to its proprietary ATRAC3 format is...
