Editorial Review:

The MZ-DN430 has the huge capacity of a MiniDisc player combined with long battery life. Listen to music for up to 56 hours using only one "AA" battery. One standard MiniDisc stores up to 177MB of music files, so you can listen to your favorite tracks for hours. Transfer MP3 and CD files to the MZ-DN430 at up to 32X speed. The Skip-Proof design lets you play back your music virtually uninterrupted.
Looking for a portable audio solution that is affordable and easy to use? Sony's line of MiniDisc players deliver precisely that, and a lot more. With sleek urban styling and excellent shock protection, the Sony MZ-DN430 offers a great way to join the MiniDisc club. Each MiniDisc-- which, by the way, costs about a buck-- can store up to 177 MB of music data, enough space for up to five hours of music.
Using the included SonicStage and MD Simple Burner software, you can upload ATRAC3-encoded music to the device. The software supports conversion of MP3, WAV and WMA formats to ATRAC3, so you can record directly to the device at up to 32x speeds. Music uploads are handled by the MZ-DN430's USB connector, so you'll need a USB-capable PC for music transfers.
While you can convert and play your own music on the MZ-DN430, the player is also fully compatible with Sony's Connect Music Store. The Connect store offers one of the most extensive music collections online. Customers can choose single tracks or entire albums from independent and major-label artists for purchase and download.
In addition to the rugged Psyc design that protects your player as you bump your way through the day, the MZ-DN430 also has built-in "G-Protection" for skip-free performance. And because the MZ-DN430 is built to be efficient, you'll get up to 56 hours of continuous playback with one AA battery.

Superior quality!:

An excelent product! I would recommend a Sony MiniDisk player to anyone still using a walkman or CD player!

This is NOT an MP3 Player:

Contrary to popular myth, this is NOT an MP3 player. It only plays a proprietary format. The PC desktop software will convert MP3 music to the proprietary format - and it will rip CDs to the proprietary format - but it's still a proprietary format.
Additionally, after you have gone through the trouble and effort of making one of the mini-CDs it is only usable on Sony products. If your next MP3 player is an MP3 player versus a Sony lock-in, your mini-disks and the data they contain are useless. You'll... more info

Great Minidisc Recorder / Player at an affordable price:

I needed a portable player to listen to the music I had recorded on minidiscs using my Sony JE-330 and JE-630 minidisc decks and I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money so I took a chance and ordered the DN430 which I found to be an excellent recorder and player. I also like the software - however I would recommend going to Sony's website and downloading (for free)the latest version of Sonic Stage. I found Sonic Stage to be very easy to use and navigate - in addition to recording to the minidisc player... more info
