Question: Any Network Walkman that supports the newest Memory Sticks?

[HEARDATBEAT]

what is a good sony network player that supports the newest memory cards? besides the PSP

[Ascariss]

i don't think there are any, only flash or hdd based players now.

You could check out some Sony Ericsson "Walkman" phones that use Memory Stick Pro, although none support ATRAC for the time being. Mp3, AAC, WMA (I think) are supported.

Your MS70D can hold lots of music at ATRAC3plus 64kbbs, and with a 128mb duo that's plenty of music for me. Sticks are 40$CAN, pretty cheap if you want to swap them out otherwise. 64kbbs on the MS70D sounds surprisingly good, better than it does on my MD NH1 or DH10P.

First of all PSP can't be regarded as Walkman (It doesn't belong to Walkman Family ).After MS70D,MS90D,MS77DR,Sony has never relased a walkman that supports memory sticks except for Walkman Cellphone (as mentioned maxthrusters).

The Mylo supports the new memory sticks, plus Japanese media have reported that it supports Windows Media 10 DRM, meaning it will work with Napster To Go.

The Mylo looks interesting, if one likes to instant message a lot (which I don't). It's not sold outside the USA/Japan though, at least not as of last time I looked into it.

as far as I know the newest memorysticks are the 'M2' sticks.

PSP doen't support these natively, maybe with an adapter.

correct me If I'm wrong

Wait you're seriously joking right? $40 CDN. is the fair market price for a 1 GB MSPD, not a 128MB MSD, lol. Well perhaps 128MB ones cost that much but obviously they are not at all worth it. Buying a card with 128MB capacity when a 1GB card costs the same (and has eight times the capacity) qould be pretty annoying to me.

Even if you got four 128MBs for $40, that's still twice the price of other Memory Sticks (and MS is slightly above the price of other flash card formats as it is).

No, not joking. The other size sticks, as stated, do not work in the NW-MS70D player. Priced at SonyStyle:

MagicGate Memory Stick Duo

Sony MSHM128A $34.99CAN (This is the ONLY Sony card that works for the MS70D. Total with tax: $40.06CAN)

The Sony MSXM1GS (1gb MemoryStick PRO Duo) card is $64.99CAN, with tax $74.40CAN. Yes, seems lke a bargain however the fact remains that it will not work with the NW-MS70D player.

No, no I understand all that, I'm just asking you if you were kidding when you said the sticks were "$40, pretty cheap". What I meant was that's not pretty cheap at all, it's actually rather expensive--in fact 8 times more expensive than other flash memory on MSPDs. I.e. You had to be joking when you said "pretty cheap", lol. If you take the whole thing in context HEARDATBEAT is trying to find a player with more capacity, obviously. He/she can't use larger memory sticks in the MS70D, as we all know. Therefore we can only imagine the goal is to get more capacity. I'm nearly certain telling him/her that they can get 128MB MSDs at $40 is more of a cruel joke (because that money otherwise buys 1GB of Sony flash memory) than a real solution, LOL.

Okay yes we know the card won't work there, but a better solution isn't really to buy memory at $40 per 128MB, IMO. A better solution would be an alternative, which the OP is looking for suggestions about.

Also as an FYI Sony's own Memory Sticks are a waste of time. Sandisk (who co-developed the format with Sony) actually makes better Memory Sticks at lower prices. The normal blue Sandisk Memory Sticks outperform even then Sony "High Speed" MS cards, and at lower prices too. This has been shown in benchmarks/test reviews more than once. The Sandisk "Ultra II" MS cards are even better. Either on a decent sale or at a real computer store (i.e. not big box, chain, or dept. stores) you can easily get a 1GB Sandisk regular MSPD for around $40 CDN.
