Summary: MAN I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT UNTIL
Review: WHEN I BURNT A CD OF MY FAVORITE SONGS WITH 150 TRACKS THE SONICSTAGE PROGRAM SKIPPED 4 OR 5 OF MY SONGS DURING THE WRITING PROCESS. AND ALL OF THE MP3 FILES WORKED PROPERLY. OK NO PROBLEM RIGHT? WRONG. I FIGURED THAT THE SONICSTAGE WAS JUST A CRAPPY PROGRAM, BUT THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT REALLY MADE ME ANGRY AS A SONY CUSTOMER, I BURNT ANOTHER CD WITH NERO AND IT CAME OUT PERFECT ALL THE SONGS WERE THERE, (I BURNT THE SAME CD AS I DID WITH SONICSTAGE KEEP IN MIND)BUT WHEN I PUT IT IN MY CD PLAYER I NOTICED THAT CERTAIN TRACKS WERE THERE BUT WERE NOT PLAYING, ALL I HEARD WAS SILENCE, IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE GHOST TRACKS. I MUST HAVE WENT THROUGH 20 DIFFERENT CDS, (AND MUCH FRUSTRATION) UNTIL I PUT MY CD IN MY PANASONIC MP3 CD PLAYER AND GUESS WHAT PEOPLE, EVERY SONG WORKED NO PROBLEM, THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE ATRAC CD PLAYERS, ITS JUST THAT NOBODY HAS RUN INTO THEM YET, BUT ONE DAY WHEN YOURE EXCITED TO BURN THAT NEW CD WITH YOUR FAVORITE SONGS, YOU MAY BE DISAPPOINTED IN THAT SOME OF YOUR SONG WONT PLAY, AND YOU WILL BE TORTURED BY THE THOUGHT THAT IT IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR CD BURNER, AND YOU MIGHT THROW THAT CD AWAY, AS I HAVE DONE MANY TIMES,WHEN THE CD IS COMPLETELY FINE, IT IS THE ATRAC CD PLAYER. THIS UPSET ME BECAUSE I THINK SONY HAS THE BEST LOOKING AND BEST QUALITY ELECTRONICS OUT THERE. SO I YOU WANT TO DO THE SMART THING STAY AWAY FROM THESE ATRAC PLAYERS, OTHER THAN THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND ANY SONY PRODUCT TO BE YOUR FIRST CHOICE.
