My minidiscs are feeling a bit tired and worn and I thought I might try an alternative new music player.

Have you experience of players such as:

Sony NW-A25HN High Resolution Audio Walkman with Noise Cancelling

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013YIX9K2/ref=psdc_573372_t3_B013YIX9DY

Or

FiiO X3 (2nd Gen) Lossless Portable Digital Audio Player & DAC

https://www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-X3-Lossless-Portable-Titanium/dp/B00VR5JHVK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1466363062&sr=8-5&keywords=Sony+NWZ-A15

OR

Sony NW-A27HNB High Resolution 64 GB Audio Walkman with Noise Cancelling

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-NW-A27HNB-Resolution-Walkman-Cancelling/dp/B013YIX9DY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466363062&sr=8-1&keywords=Sony+NWZ-A15

thanks,

If you want to play your precious ATRAC files (assuming you have them) then you might want to look at NW-F887 instead (or 885/886). Note that NW-F887 is not the same as NWZ-F887. The latter lacks support for ATRAC. The former is only available as a Japanese import.

Hello sfbp, it's not the actual ATRAC files themselves I am more interested in trying a modern player.

These days you can plug music players into the PC and transfer hundreds of flacs across.

My dedicated LiP-4WM battery for Sony MZ-NH1 is dead and I cannot find a replacement.

There's another topic here about brand new batteries that can be adapted to replace the guts of a LIP-4WM. They cost about $5. I did it and installed one in my NH1.... and it worked.

However you ARE stuck with the charger for the NH1. The cable for this is the same as that for the NW-HD3 and you might be able to get one of those and share the cable (you or someone else already asked about the cable, IIRC).

The reason I used the word "precious" was that when they are so beautifully encoded (I have hundreds of hours of LP4 recorded which I play through bluetooth into my car setup) that re-encoding them is rarely a good option. And the F887 has bluetooth (it's a vanilla Android device except for the sound support). And it will play all the new HD formats as well as "uncompressed" CD format and all that.
