Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Sony's DNE-20 MP3/ATRAC CD Walkman Portable Compact Disc Player sports some of Sony's most advanced technical and design features, making it one of the best and most stylish compact disc players on the market today.
For starters, the player's new, exceptionally slim, lightweight aluminum and magnesium body design and overall new high-tech look sets it apart from virtually every other portable CD player. These features extend to the player's slim-line remote that fits naturally in your hand and allows you to take advantage of the player's array of operations using just your thumb. Also included is a new high-tech carrying case that rounds out the player's overall cutting-edge design.
As for the technology behind the player, Sony's advanced Sony DSP system means that you can play your music for over 100 hours continuously off of one rechargeable battery, which is included with the player, and one AA battery (not included). And when you're finished with your listening, simply place the Walkman on its specially designed stand to recharge the battery.
A 5-line negative/positive backlit LCD allows you to select the display properties of the LCD, providing a unique way to view track, title, album and artist information of ATRAC or MP3 CDs you're playing. Sony has also provided a highly intuitive file navigation system -- the new Vertical Jog Lever Control -- and a new digital amplifier that is much smaller, uses less energy to produce the same signal, and is 80 percent more efficient than traditional analog amplifiers.
The player's Skip-Free G-Protection technology provides quick recovery from both horizontal and vertical shocks, so hitting those unexpected pot holes or making sudden stops won't ever interfere with your listening while you're on the go. Playback options include 18 playback modes and a bookmark function that offers a wide array of listening choices, including hearing one track repeatedly, hearing a selection of tracks in a desired order, or listening to tracks randomly.
Compatible with Sony's ATRAC3plus technology, the DNE-20 Walkman is loaded and ready to play the rewritable CDs of albums and tracks you download and burn from Sony's Connect Music Store. The player also comes bundled with Sony's SonicStage CD Simple Burner software. Compatible with most CD burners, this application transfers songs from CDs or MP3 music files from your PC's hard drive and burns them to recordable CDs using ATRAC3plus compression.
ATRAC3plus is Sony's high-quality audio-compression technology that reduces the size of digital audio files while preserving much of a track's original sound quality (similar in concept to MP3 or Dolby Digital sound formats). With ATRAC3plus, music can be burned and compressed at 132, 105, 66, 64, or even 48 kbps (kilobits per second), letting you select the right balance between fidelity and storage space, and allowing you to burn up to 490 songs to a disc at 48 kbps.
Other features include Sony's Digital Mega Bass Sound, which produces rich, deep, bass tones with extremely low harmonic distortion; a five-direction control key, which means that you control five individual functions from a single button; a three-line LCD that provides fast and easy identification of track, title, album and artist information along the location of specific songs; and an automatic shut-off feature that powers the player down when it's not in use, helping to further conserve battery power.

World's smallest CD player for Audiophiles!,
This review is from: Sony D-NE20 MP3/ATRAC3 CD Walkman (Electronics)
So thin and lightweight, that you forget that it's a CD player! With a good set of headphones, you can enjoy high quality sound with deep bass. Includes MP3, a built-in micro-equalizer, and recharger. Probably the best CD walkman I've owned so far, well worth every penny!

I wish I can get my $ back!,
This review is from: Sony D-NE20 MP3/ATRAC3 CD Walkman (Electronics)
First off, I'm not a negative person who picks on every little things and complains about it. This IS infact my first time writing a review with less than 5 stars. I just had to tell the people who intend to buy this CDP by its attractive appearance and ATRAC3 technology etc. Well, this thing does not play about 1/4 of my audio CDs! 1/4 is ALOT out of my huge collection of recordings. I mostly have complete opera recordings and classical recordings that are often "made in Germany" and other forgein countries. I don't know if this is to do with the difficulty of playing back. It is just unbelievable and total dissapointment! Secondly, I found it skips quiet frequently or makes buzzy sounds that seems like connection problem on headphone jack. This thing is VERY thin that is made of pearl white(although they say it is silver, it is more like peark white!) plastic material and it feels little frigile. I understand that in order to reduce its physical size, Sony eliminated LCD on the CDP body! This IS a big~ flaw! You certainly have to rely on remote otherwise you have no freakin idea which track you are on and you cannot adjust functions and more! What if the remote brokes which happens fairly easy! Remote itself is sort of hard to find and if you do find them, it is EXPENSIVE! Also Sony's ATRAC3 technology is only for PC which means it is NOT compatible with Mac. Okay...That sould be enough to say about its down side BUT yes...it is true that this CDP is very thin and cool but seriously, that's pretty much I could think of. I'd highly recommand you to buy much cheaper CDPs from Sony OR Panasonic that is much simpler and less frigile even though they are abit bigger than this one. I hope you save your money!

Excellent Portable CD Player,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sony D-NE20 MP3/ATRAC3 CD Walkman (Electronics)
I have owned several portable CD players, mainly because I enjoy listening to audio books while I work around the house and yard. When my last player broke down, I was determined to make my next purchase my last! I found the perfect player in this model. I do not use MP3 players because I like to use the resources at our local library. This is the thinnist, lightest portable player I have ever seen and it is extremely comfortable. Heavier models can be a real drag, not so with the ATRAC3.
