When searching for a new mp3 player the trail always leads me back to Sony. Its more about overall quality then brand loyalty. Over the years Sony's Walkman line has gone the distance and more. The all new Sony S Series Walkman adds to the legacy.
The S-540 8gb Walkman brings it on with a crisp, color enhanced 2.4" LCD screen that is easy on the eyes. At 2" x 4" x .4", it comes in a bit larger then its older cousin. A larger body undoubtedly is required to provide support for the external speaker system. The speakers won't get confused with my home system anytime soon but they do provide an excellent source. With headphones on, this mp3 player delivers a cornucopia of sound. Missing but not that noticeable is the noise reduction feature. The on board equalizer can be tweaked to one's own preferences or users can choose one of the six presets.
The Navigation pad located directly under the screen is a breeze to operate. Three controls are located on the right side of the unit. One locks in the controls. The second one allows for easy switching from speaker to headset. Volume is the third control. The standard headphone jack and a USB port can be found on the bottom of the unit. The detachable flip out stand is an okay feature that allows for easy standing on my desk or shelf top. I would have preferred that it was permanently mounted.
The S-540 supports mp3, mp4, AAC, AVC, WMV, WMA, and PCM. PCM is Sony's version of WAV. It pairs well with Napster. Rhapsody is a no go. Downloading my playlists from Windows Media Player was a breeze without the usual hiccups associated with older mp3 players. Amazon video is now supported. I haven't downloaded video. I did download a couple of photographs on this model. The display was outstanding. Unlike my older Walkman, this model doesn't offer the wallpaper photo display option.
The built in FM tuner picked up all ten of my stations. With auto scanner functionality, thirty preset slots are available. The FM radio is crystal clear when using the headset as an antenna. The alarm clock and timer features are sweet. This model also has an impressive on board microphone located on the bottom of the unit. There are three voice settings. Voice playback quality was excellent. Battery life has always been biggie with Sony. On a full charge, I got almost a full thirty five hours of music.
This Sony mp3 player comes packaged with a USB cable, flip stand, ear buds, installed operating manual, and the standard one year warranty. Body finishes for the 8GB model include; black, red, pink and violet. The 16GB unit comes in a black or red body.
Economically priced, this latest edition to the Walkman line is a durable and reliable product that simply delivers. Easy to use and loaded with features, the Sony S-540 is a prime time performer.

Myself ... I love this thing! For what I use this for (Listening to MP3 encoded Audio Books) this device is GREAT! Even the name 'Walkman' is great.
The buttons and menus are laid out logically and simply. I actually like the buttons better than the iPod wheel.
Compared to an iPod Nano:
This has speakers (which I never use).
This has an FM radio (which I never use).
Like the iPod It feels solid.
It is a bit bigger than the iPod nano - but it is not what I'd consider bulky.
When you have it plugged into the car battery (though an external power adapter that I got seperately) it does NOT pause. Too bad.
Can you load it up with files using windows explorer (wahoo! no more iTunes!).

I was looking for an MP3 player to listen to audiobooks from NetLibrary. This player does not have a bookmark feature, but you can use "pause" to stop the book. When you return the player starts at the same point. Screen is large enough to see. Controls are easy to understand and use. Other features -- voice recording, built-in speaker, photos and video -- all make this a great player to have!!
