Advantages: Design

Disadvantages: No colour screen

I actually have two of these because i accidentally crushed the screen of my original one when closing the car boot door. The NW-D1 was the standard of MP3 players a couple of years back before the iPod became big.

It boasted a huge 20GB of memory which enabled the user to store over 15.000 tracks in Sony's attracc music form. The design was very sleek with a cool sleak metal finish and a dark plastic around the screen itself. The MP3 player is quite light weihhing only 110g so it will not weigh down your pockets. Navigating through the menus are easy with only several buttons, you cant really get lost using this mp3 player.

The problems with this MP3 is that you needed Sony's own Sonicstage software to place music on the MP3 player itself, You also need to connect it to the dock which also need to be connected to a power source before it can be connected to the computer. And it takes roughly 20-30 seconds to upload a song.

The sound quality is good as you would expect from all Sony audio products. It originally cost over 200 pounds when first released but i manged to buy a second hand one for 50 to replace my broken one, i still use the defunct one as a 20 GB hardrive which is useful.

However today it lacks the new more advanced technologies such as colour screen, touchscreen, video playback and other useful features.

Summary: A great sony product
