Summary: NW-HD5 2008-01-21
Comment: I bought the Sony NW-HD5 - about two years ago, because is had 20GB and a rechargable/replaceable battery, it worked fine for about two years, the the battery failed, for $50 I bought another one, which would't hold a charge, I sent that one back for yet another now it appears that the player failed, because the second battery will not hold a charge.
The player only works now on AC-power. I replaced it with an Archos 604 with WIFI

Summary: buy something else. 2007-08-21
Comment: I love Sony, i really do. So when i went looking for a mp3, i started with Sony. In 2005 i bought my hd3 and quickly found it to be lacking. I can't believe in the list of the features it has, "comes with an ac adapter" and "you can connect to your PC". Why, because for this type of dmp(digital music player) these features should be synonymous. The problem is there is nothing else. The one thing I thought would have been included was the ability to make a play-list. And with out a play-list the "incredible battery life" is about ¼ of that when you're changing to a different artist, or albums because you turn on the back-light every time you touch the thing. I know u can turn it off, but I don't only listen to music when it bright and sunny. And I'm not going to change it back and forth. My friends have mp3's with Swappable rechargeable lithium-ion battery, multiple play lists, Built-in voice recording and FM tuner with FM recording capability. Anyway get something else and do some research if your going to spend this much money.

Summary: The player feels and looks great... 2006-07-08
Comment: But the software sonic stage made this by far the worst mp3 player I have ever owned. I suggest you try iaudio. I've had 3 of them (sold one, gave the other one away, and kept one for myself). Easy to upload music, and no headaches like sonicstage. With Iaudio it took me minutes to upload music. With sonicstage it took me 3 entire days (with the computer running) to upload the 4,000 songs. Pathetic.

Summary: A Great Alternative ToThe Overrated iPod! 2005-12-09
Comment: A few days ago I finally got my first ever real, full-featured portable music player, a beautiful red Network Walkman and I love it. The thing I like the most is that it ISN'T an iPod (which is for ultra-chic, wannabee-cool-people, music loving lemmings) and it does a good job at what it's supposed to do! Here's a quick bullet-point review:
+ Great battery life!
+ Beautiful red design...neat "sideways" format
+ Simple and easy to use
+ Sonic Stage tranfers files fast, does a good quick & dirty job
- No WMA support
- Atrac3 encoding necessary for quick transfer of music to player
- Compilation CDs have messed up track orders in SS & on the Walkman
- Recharging / USB connection is messy and overly complicated
- Included Earbuds kill your ears (hard plastic!...ouch!)
Overall, I think this is a B+ product. I gave it five stars because as a music player, it does a great job at that. I see many places for improvement---but since no current music player does everything I want right now, I'll be happy with my Walkman for the next couple years. It's a good 20gb backup drive as well and shopping through [...] (even amid all the controversy of Sony rootkit files, etc.) is very easy, very fast and practically painless.
