Sounds good

I haven't used the ATRAC yet and set up a CD, but it seems like a nice option. Didn't skip on a long car ride, even with my mom's bumpy driving. The only problem is no radio and keeping it away from my brother.

ok for the price

It holds Atrac3 and atrac but no play list so I am thinking about an mp3 player so it is worth the money

Upgrading

I upgraded to this model after my original s2 CD walkman died. I was hoping to find a similar produc in the D-Nss05 and for the most part I have been satisfied.

The new handstrap is a neat piece of engineering, especially the little LCD that can be flipped depending on how you intend to hold the product. However, it isn't as flat as the previous iteration making it hard to put in a pocket when you need both of your hands free.

The ease of use on this model has been dowgraded somewhat in my opinion. Before I was able to control forward, back, and stop from a single joystick, and the volume control was on a mechanical dial that was easily turned with the ball of your thumb. On the D-NS505, it is very hard to reach all of the necessary controls with stratching into uncomfortable positions, especially if you use it in your right hand. Doing that puts the volume on the other side of the band from your thumb, making it difficult to quickly turn down the volume to see what someone is saying.

I have unfortunately been unable to test if I will be able to charge my batteries in this unit, but as the instructions don't mention it specifically I'm afraid it's another reason to reminisce for my old unit.

Those gripes aside, I do have to admit to loving the heft and quality feel of this unit. I have had no problems whatsoever with skipping, even after going so far as to drum on the lid of the unit for a minute.

As the original s2 unit is all but impossible to find I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone looking for a quality CD player, although Ic an't rank it the full five stars as I feel it's a step backwards from th e original unit.
