I had a new Discman arrive in the post today! This is the D-NE1 on its official charging stand :D

I used to have one of these back when they were new, so I'm thrilled to have one again (especially in such good condition)!

I don't want to be all old lady about it but if you can (and sometimes it really isn't practical/possible), do take the time to listen to some music on commercially pressed CDs (vs. burns of mp3s) - the difference in sound quality when compared to the average (paid for!) digital file is unbelievable :D

(Also: Sony were ON FIRE for like three decades straight with their electronics I could very easily become a huge nerd about their stuff it's just so weird and good)

Yep, it came with the proper inline remote! And SAME. I've been saying that for years now! Those little remotes are so handy, I honestly can't believe they're not a thing now I can carry 126489316431 albums in my pocket D:

https://cohost.org/plumpan/post/1457693-the-squad I need to do a new version of this because I sold basically the entire back row and have replaced them with new stuff. I don't have a problem :(

I think the problem is mp3 players got down to basically the size of an inline, and especially if you want a screen it's just gonna be a sansa clip sized device at that point. But dang, I do think they're a wonderful concept. I'm very very very big on having a dedicated device for listening to music on, I think if reliability and scarcity (and tiny firmware nitpicks) wasn't an issue I'd wanna go back to a cowon X5 and get an inline remote for it... Oh, does yours have the little screen on it? I think some inlines even give you a track name.

Oh nice!

I hope the CD TEXT support isn't bad. I put an ancient alpine head unit in my car a few months back and found that while it has CD TEXT support, it's... not great. Very limited character set and display options. :(

Does yours handle è or ' ?
