Good Points: Small Loads of space Huge battery life
Bad Points: Converting music
General comments: The Sony NW-HD1 is one of the most amazing players out there, I am so surprised that there isn't more hype around this player, I love this little thing, and yes the thing is very very small, smaller than a pack of gum infact (pop-out kind).
This baby gives you 30 HOURS of playback (more like 24 or so) but this is still amazing, great for plane rides, or people that go on long trips that wont be able to get a chance to charge. This is a mini hard drive, and the smallest in the world. Hold 20 GB, about 13,000 songs (after converted), very cleen interface, I have had no problems with it, no skipping, no menu errors, it has differnt sound modes, and other things that are nice. Now the only thing people might have problems with: you have to convert all your music to OMG files....BUT, it doesn't take THAT long, just leave it over night, and bam in the morning, you have all your music, very good about converting as well, you don't have to do ALOT of click to get it going.

There is a quality loss in this conversion, and also you must save this format to your harddrive before putting it on the player, which takes up twice the room(Mp3 version and Sony's version). So if you take this to your buddies compute ...

Firstly, just to show that this Sony NW-HD1 review is as unbiased as I can make it, I have used the iriver iHP-100 and 120, creative Zen touch and Zen Xtra 30 gigabyte, the 3G 15 gigabyte and 4G 20 gigabyte iPods aswell as the iPod mini, all of which I have thought are fantastic players for different reasons. The iriver has the best sound quality thanks to supporting the ogg vorbis format, the iPods have the best design and could be classed as a bit of a statement if that's your thing and the cr ...
