5.0 out of 5 stars awesome little player!, January 1, 2008

By	W. Gordon (Austin, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received this little Walkman as a holiday present and it is just fabulous! I'm a latecomer to the MP3 market, having been reluctant to get caught up in loading music (after all, we all know what "timesavers" digital cameras are). When I saw this device come on the market, I was strongly tempted and am I glad I was. My 11-year old got the device up and running (that is, nearly fully loaded with my favorite albums) using MS Windows Media Player, and then taught me how to do it in a matter of minutes. I've currently got about 350 songs on it with room for half as many I would estimate. It's got great battery life. The earbuds represent Sony's high quality sound. I particularly like the metallic red color. I haven't yet tried the other features, but I'm optimistic about their ease of use. Now my son is agitating to upgrade his Zen player.

4.0 out of 5 stars Preferred over IPOD, February 8, 2008

By	T. Macklin (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this little gem about 2 months ago instead of an IPOD, because it had the FM receiver option. I have never owned or operated an MP3 player before, but I found this one to be extremely user-friendly. To load your music, you simply connect it to the Windows Media Player (software disk is included0, then just drag and drop your music files. The battery life is unbelievably long -I've charged it maybe, twice? And it is soooo cute! The only thing I think they could have added is a "sleep" function that would turn it off after awhile. Other than that I love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good starter MP3 player for the kids, September 23, 2008

By	EMTP EJ "EJ" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

We got one of these for each of our boys, because we like be fair like that. I wanted to get them these because if they got lost or broken, we would not be out a lot of $$. Also, since we had more traveling planned, we wanted them to be able to listen to something different than everyone else, if they wanted. They have had them for about a year and they haven't lost or broken them yet, so it seems like it has been a good test of their responsibility. I also like to get the same thing for everyone as that helps me with keeping the number of different tech items I need to support managable. We got a red one and a black one so we could tell them apart.
