Sony Walkman D-CJ01 Personal CD Player

When I first starting looking at MP3 players I was always disappointed at how much money it was to expland your MP3 players memory. I was looking at around 60 bucks just to get another hour of music in. Then low and behold the first MP3 cd player came out. What a great idea you get over 20 hour of music on one cd and the cds only cost about 6 cents a piece. I've been a strong believer in sony discmans ever since g-protection came out. I was disappointed that the only companies that had released MP3 discmans were companies such as Rio and TDK. Recently Sony put their MP3 cd player on the market and this discman really lives up to sony quality. Now you get Sony's long lasting battery life, 2 different levels or g-protection and MP3 play back. The two different g-protection settings give you these two choices:1 small buffer and higher quality of music, and 2 large buffer and lower quality music. I have yet to hear the difference in the two qualities. While running the g-protection proved to be better than my previous sony discmans the DFJ61 and the DEJ62. On normal CDs you may encounter skipping depending upon how much beating the discman is taking. I have yet to hear this discman skip while playing MP3 cds. It's been dropped, dragged, smashed but the player keeps on going. One of the coolest features of the MP3 cd is that the cd itself stops after about 10 seconds of spinning and doesn't start up again for another minute and a half. making it impossible to skip during that time and also impresses your friends. Sony's discman lets you listen to about 32 hours of normal music and about 24 hours of MP3 format music give or take depending on the batteries you are using. Rechargable batteries have significantly lower battery times. This CD player shows next generation Sony quality. I'm glad I waited for sony to come out with a MP3 cd player.
