This review is from: Sony S-544 8 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player (Violet) (Electronics) 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. After picking up the Sony S545 16GB for myself, I bought this model for my little one.
The S-544 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...Read more 36 of 38 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Sony S-544 8 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player (Violet) (Electronics) My husband just got one of these new Sony Walkman MP3 players (black), and it is so SWEET!!! I didn't know he was going to get one, he just walked into the room and started showing me pictures from our son's wedding--super crisp--and then parts of a movie, and he played some songs. (Earlier this year he had gotten me a teal colored Ipod Nano for my birthday. The Nano is my first MP3 player, and it is cool, and incredibly TINY!) Anyway, here is what I like about the Walkman:
As I mentioned, the screen looks very sharp, and it is about 30% bigger than the one I have. It's easy to look at without straining, and see detail. It allows you to display video or photos horizontally or vertically and select auto zoom or full display. Secondly, besides the earbuds, it has speakers. What a great idea! You can preview your music without having to plant the earbuds. The speakers' frequency response is pretty flat, so obviously it won't replace your sound system, or have...Read more 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Sony S-544 8 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player (Violet) (Electronics) So far, I like it a lot. 4.5 stars out of 5.
The interface is intuitive. The menu system (press "option", navigate with the arrow keys and "back" button) is easy to navigate. I have no idea how long the battery will last. Using it intermittently through the day I've never gotten below 3/4 charge. For Windows 7, go to Sony and download the current software. This device can be treated as usb storage (files copied directly), but the software will handle conversion. For Linux, if Rhythmbox is running it will take control of the device (ie. it will not show up as a drive on the desktop). Getting files to the device is a little funky (hint: right click, "add to playlist". Go to playlist, then edit menu and copy. Go then to Walkman, edit menu, paste.) Minor nits: the cable is proprietary. It's one more expensive proprietary cable to keep track of. What would be wrong with Sony just using a standard USB cable...Read more |
