Rating Reviews : 4.0

It is the second portable digital media player I've owned (my first was an iPOD shuffle, yuck). Anyway, this Walkman, is pretty good for just listening to music. However, its' battery only lasts 2-3 hours when viewing videos or pictures with the brightness all the way up. Its' screen gets scratched easily and I wish it was a little bigger. A lot of the WMV files I try playing don't work. I hate it when the screen dimmer turns on when I'm viewing a photo. I also wish it had built-in speakers. Overall I think it's good as a storage device and/or music player; it's also good for the price (16GB for is a steal).

Usually ships in 1-2 business days.

Customer Reviews

DSEE missing - Tittus -
I have replaced my old Sony MP4 2 GB expecting the same sound with more music space, but I never thought that I would missed the DSEE feature of my old partner.
The sound is pretty good but it took me a while to get used to it, however I must say that is definitely better than the I pods Nano that I have tested.
One important detail, the earphones were replaced by a portable Denon, that I highly recommend to get (AH-P372K).





Sony always good for me! - D. Bausher - Reading, Pa. United States
The Sony mp3 player works fine for me! I really am impressed with it. I loaded all my Smooth Jazz CD's on it. However, I don't think it will go thirty hours on a charge. I use it plugged into my portable Sony stereo and just have it plugged in and charging while it is playing. I use it more for a music server than a portable listening source. I am not a regular user of ear buds or headphones. Highly recommend!


lots of annoying glitches - Rachel Francis - Los Angeles
I use this mp3 player in my car and it has a number of glitches I find annoying.

First - the thing freezes up and resets itself often - I'd say about once or twice a week. It takes about 5-10 minutes for it to reset and start playing again, which amounts to a lot of lame Top-40 and mattress sale commercials on the radio. I bought this thing to avoid the radio!!

Second - it syncs to your entire hard drive library whenever you plug it into your PC, without regard for the fact that most of those tracks are already on it. The result is tons of duplicates. What ever happened to "xyz file already exists, copy anyway?" ??

Third - it's only 14.7 gb, not 16. False advertising is lame, Sony.

Fourth, looks like it's right now - I paid .99 - don't overpay!

On the plus side, I haven't had many problems with scratches, but then again I keep mine in the car and not my purse or pocket. I also don't use it for video. Battery life is good, plays at least 8 hours on a charge.

But, at the end of the day, the freezing and copying make this mp3 player more frustrating than enjoyable. Get something else.
