Jimmy, Symington

Score 8.0/10
Good points:
Very good product and exactly what I was looking for. Judged it against the ipod range but based on quality (sound & display ) it was way ahead of the ipod classic. I know the Classic has a far greater capacity but I was more interested in video quality and sound. Also Classic was double the price which in my opinion couldn't be justified Plays both mp3 and wma
Good all-rounder for the money

Score 8.0/10
Good points:
Easy to use.
Good display.
Bad points:
The sound could go a touch higher- you miss little subtlelties on certain tracks.
On random mode, when you switch it off and then back on, it reverts to the original track playing BUT then re-starts a random cycle and you tend to end up listening to items that you've only heard very recently.

Manufacturer's Description

First-ever Walkman® Video MP3 player with built-in Stereo Speakers: Share music anywhere
8GB, Built-in Stereo Speakers, 2.4" colour LCD and FM radio

Built for sharing music
Our first-ever Video MP3 player with built-in Stereo Speakers, the S Series Walkman® lets you share music with friends and tune into FM radio everywhere you go. A larger 2.4” QVGA colour LCD screen gives razor sharp video, photos and album art – and in widescreen.

No restrictions with open format
Open format means no matter where your music is stored, or what format it’s in (WMA, MP3 and AAC (non-DRM only)), you can transfer your entire library onto your Walkman® just by dragging and dropping it from Windows Media™ Player 11, iTunes® or Windows Explorer. It’s a cinch!

Experience all your music in stunning sound quality
You get superb sound quality from Walkman® thanks to three built-in audio technologies: Clear Stereo, Clear Bass and DSEE digital sound enhancement. They all work in harmony to bring you a listening experience as close as possible to the original sound, just like being at a live performance.

Share your music with friends
Share your all your favourite MP3 music anywhere with built-in Stereo Speakers – at the park, on the beach or just on the move. Packed with the latest Clear Audio Technologies, the new S Series Walkman® delivers a more natural clearer sound with rich balanced bass that you can listen to out loud.

More listening choice with FM
The freedom of a built-in FM Tuner lets you chop and change between music and video libraries and your favourite radio shows. With 30 preset channels, you can tune into all the top stations – and find more of your own – to give you even more choice over what you want to listen to.

Built-in voice and FM recording
When you need to take notes, or want to record your favourite radio show, just flick on the voice recording function with built-in microphone and let Walkman® do all the hard work for you. Record vocals and speech in mono, then playback anytime.

    1. Hi, Use the software bundled with the Sony or drag and drop using windows explorer.

      Media File format: MP4 file format
      File extension: .mp4, .m4v
      MPEG-4 Media File format: MP4 file format
      File extension: .mp4, .m4v
