Long battery life,

This review is from: Sony Digital Music Player (Black) (Electronics)
I bought this mp3 player for two reasons, long battery life and the ability to stand up to the elements. I operate heavy machinery so I need a mp3 player that will play for at least 10 hrs a day and withstand a lot of heat and dust. I've owned several mp3 players, Phillips, RCA, Panasonic, Sony, etc. None of them have lasted very long except the Sony, so far I haven't had any problems with it. I really don't have to worry about the battery going dead before the day is over and so far the dust hasn't killed it, so if you want a good little mp3 player get this one.

Liked It So Much I Had To Have Two!,

I had already purchased this same model in red color to replace an old GPX that quit working when I dropped it a couple feet onto the floor. Then my backup (also GPX) quit as well and I liked the Walkman so much that I bought the same model in black. It is easy to use, has a long battery life, good FM tuner (not great but better than most I've seen). I haven't had any problems with either one of the Sony Walkman units. Before choosing the Walkman I went through some other brands and returned them to the store for various reasons. I can't really think of any complaints I have about these units.

OK but nothing special,
December 1, 2010 D. Crawford "Highlander" (Knoxville, Tn) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony Digital Music Player (Black) (Electronics)
I have had the Sony mp3 player for about 5 months. I looked at several including the Zune, the Sansa, and I Pod. I chose the Sony because of Sony's reputation and it's reviews online. The player works OK but it's nothing special. The sound is good but no better than my Droid or Sansa Clip. It seems to have a good battery life and loading music works well. I use Media Player rather than the Sony software. I also like the FM tuner.
What I dislike about the player are the following: 1)The controls are very difficult to use without looking at the player. The wheel is flush with the surface and there are no identifying dots or pegs. Trying to skip to the next song I usually pause the player. This is important to me because I listen while working out and driving. With my Sansa Clip the controls are very easy to use without looking at the player. 2) I have not been able to load play lists from Media player or the Sony software. In addition you cannot make up play lists on the fly while...Read more
