After my poor experience with the Phillips GoGear mp3 player (reviewed here last week), I thought I'd see what Sony can do with an mp3 player. I bought their first (excellent) FM walkman in 1980 but haven't used one of their portables since. I am in general a Sony fan, and my 1986 Trinitron is still running like new. Gotta love that kind of quality! But do they still have it? First, the good: -Excellent battery life: 30 hours for music, and it does get close to that if you don't do much scrolling. Nice. -Lots of gigs for a c-note: about 6 bucks per gig, once you realize that it's only 14.4 gb. I hate the way companies do that, btw. Don't tell me I'm getting 16 gigs and then give me ten percent less. Be honest! Stuff like that loses customers, savvy ones at least. {Edit: 9/16/11. For whatever reason, this now costs 50% more, so it's now exactly 10 per gig...no real...Read more 75 of 77 people found the following review helpful:  Great sound marred by bad install software, By This review is from: Sony Walkman NWZE345BLK 16 GB Video MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) I almost hate to give this thing only three stars because it has great sound and hardware features. One the other hand the Sony Windows installer is so bad it deserves negative stars. But there is a workaround - just use simple drag and drop, and don't even run the Sony install or media software on your windows machines. Since Sony's famous root kit fiasco (Google "sony rootkit lawsuit") infected thousands of customers computers via anti-consumer software, I should have known better than to ever let Sony software run on my PC. But I wanted to get my new MP3 player to working fast, so I followed Sony's instructions. Bad idea!!! They want you to plug the Sony into a USB port and then run the install software that's already in the Sony. I tried this on my old XP (SP2) machine, and the Sony installation tried to "upgrade" my windows Media player. There was no benefit to me for this "upgrade", Sony's...Read more 60 of 64 people found the following review helpful:  Excellent First Impression, By This review is from: Sony Walkman NWZE345BLK 16 GB Video MP3 Player (Black) (Electronics) I've only had this puppy for a day, so I can't comment on the very important subject of its reliability. Also, I don't have much interest in using the Walkman for video replay, so I don't have much to say about that, either. But my first impression is favorable. The design is sleek, the controls are intuitive, the interface is efficient, and at 16GB the storage capacity is as large as you'll get in a sub-compact flash drive player. The FM radio tuner is surprisingly sensitive.
The obvious point of comparison is to the iPod Nano, which also comes in a 16GB version. The Walkman is a bit wider, thicker, and heavier than the Nano, but it's also a bit shorter. There are three big differences in my view: the Walkman has a radio, it has much better audio quality and it's significantly less expensive. To me those differences are absolutely decisive, especially the difference in audio reproduction: It takes the Sony to make you realize how truly mediocre iPod sound is...Read more |
