Sony Network Walkman NW-MS9 (64 MB) MP3 Player

Pros: Titanium exterior, tiny, light, battery life, ATRAC3plus doubles music capacity
Cons: Mandatory ATRAC3 conversion, opening device for Memory Stick slot is flimsy

If you prefer to carry all of your music on one device, I recommend the N W-HD1. Please read my review. One size never fits all. The trend in portable music may be to store entire collections, but hard drive-based ...

Pros: Small, light and highly portable with skip-free music
Cons: Songs must be converted to ATRAC format.

Just to start off the review, I like to mention that I'm more or less an audio-freak. I love portable audio players and I am actually using the Sony MiniDisc Walkman. I have the MZ-R55, the MZ-R90, MZ-R900 and the MZ-E90. I have even written reviews on...

Pros: Most stylish player out there, attracts attention, easy to use, excellent sound quality
Cons: Media is Expensive, have to convert MP3s to ATRAC, Software is unstable sometimes

...with the Sony NW-MS9.

As usual, I spent numerous hours researching this product before I finally settled on it. I considered other Sony MP3 players, their MiniDisc players, as well as MP3 players by other manufacturers. Honestly, I expected...

Pros: Great Audio quality, tiny size
Cons: Not MP3!!! Expensive cards, buggy software.

Well first of all I'll go through the nice benefits of this little player, then I'll get to the point of this not even being an MP3 player.

First of all it's tiny, this thing is less than 2 inches long and about 1/4 inch thick and 1 inch...

Pros: Small, light, really great design, sound quality is good
Cons: Expensive MagicGate Memory Sticks, OpenMG could irritate some people, MS Pro and Duo formats?

After looking for an mp3-player for over half a year, I decided to go with the NW-MS9. It's small, expandable, has nice sound quality, and looks fantastic. Sony has released the NW-MS11, but this is just the same unit,...

Pros: tiny, lightweight, great sound quality, easy to use software,
Cons: expensive, headphones aren't that great

This player is by far the best product at this time. Its tiny, and very light. It comes with a keyring, so you can wear it without worrying about it falling out of your pocket. The screen is very easy to read and is backlit. 64 megs of space and you...

Pros: TINY, battery life, OpenMG, great headphones, durable, good-looking, fast USB transfer, easy access
Cons: pricey

When you first pick up the box, it's just- WOAH....
It tiny, so tiny that you won't believe that it can play music that well. It IS the best looking' MP3 player out there. Like all reviewers agreed: Great display, TINY, great headphones, durable,...

Pros: Small, sleek/stylish design, portable, never skips!
Cons: 128kbps max recording, software is tricky, battery doesn't last too long

I have a good experience to share regarding this product. I wanted try a memory-based mp3 player for few reasons. I got tired of the bulky CD player that gives you the so-called Skip-free technology when it still skips during heavy use. Another reason...

Pros: Small, Light, Cool Looking!!!
Cons: Battery Life, Software sucks, had to replace it already!!!

Buyer Beware. When I first bought this, I was so excited to have the latest in Sony Technology. This handy Mp3 Player (not MP3 though- we'll get to that later) was a time saver from burning cds. I could fit this thing in my little secret pocket of my...

Pros: Looks awesome, very durable, very small, good sound quality.
Cons: Expensive, OpenMG software is buggy, only comes with 64MB memory stick.

I found this MP3 player to be the most pleasing to the eye. It is so small! It is about the size of a lighter, which allows one to carry it anywhere. The player is made out of metal which makes it feel indestructable. Sound quality is good, not...

The Nw-Ms9 is a great mp3 player in that it is incredibly light weight and has immaculate sounds quality. No matter how much memory it can handle, I still feel that Sony has made another great electronic device by creating the model Nw-Ms9 mp3 player.

I was loving this unit until recently. The player is nice because I use it to go jogging and you can't even feel it in your pocket. Nice and lightweight. However now the battery will not charge, only about 1/4 life. I see I am not the only one. Did anyone get a replacement battery?
