Customer Reviews of Sony Digital Music Player (NW-MS9)

Light, But Powerful
I am thrilled with the Sony Network Walkman NW-MS9 I received for Christmas. It is very compact and lite, easily fitting into any pocket as I take long walks or work. The music sound is wonderful - Bose-like quality in my ears. I like the 64 MB memory card. It provides ample capacity for up to 2 hours worth of music or audio books. Extra cards are available. The display is informative and easy to read for such a tiny device, offering an array of options to improve my delight in this product. Finally, the software for my PC is easy-to-use quickly enabling me to record favorite tunes from C-D's or the internet. This is my first MP3 player. It is amazing the impact on your spirit when you have your favorite music close by, like a companion, regardless of your activities or destination.

Expensive for the market, not very durable
If you are scrolling through all these reviews trying to find a pattern you might be hard pressed. I think people went a little overboard with '5 stars' well I guess just in my opinion. This player took a bit to figure out on the software side, and all the stories on the format issues are true.

Sony's customer support for this devices driver updates, software, and repair is very poor. It is very difficult to find an email address, phone #, or contact. I have seen other MP3 portable type devices that have a much more friendly support model. I think I'm pretty patient too, but considering what I paid for this I think it shouldn't be that hard.

Also mind the battery door it breaks after normal use in my case (about 2 months after warranty). What is the kicker is the battery door holds the battery powering the device and you have to fix it somehow if you want to use the device. Mind you the repair Sony wants to charge is like $59.95 (w/o parts) so at that rate you may be able to buy a cheaper player!

My end advice is if you find yourself reading all these review pay attention to the battery, software points. You are paying a lot of money for this, don't risk it on this one.

Run, do not walk, away from this device.
Sony, the greedy bastards that brought you Betamax, are back at it again with this digital music player. IT IS NOT AN MP3 PLAYER. It converts all mp3 files into a proprietary code that makes using the files for anything other than this player impossible. Unless you want to have two versions of every song on your hard drive, one for Sony and one for everything else, do yourself a favor and buy a real mp3 device.
