I can't move without my music and the Sony Walkman mp3 gives you the option to listen to the radio and I can also tune into the Televisions at the gym. This is a great tool. Glad I researched the Consumer Report, it was rated way up there. Thank you Sony and ABT!

So Long Apple Ipod....
Reviewed by Juicy_55106 (Avid Listener) from Saint Paul, MN on Feb 13, 2008
Verified Reviewer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
You would think that Apple would put an FM tuner in their device, it would be so much better, and they have been on the market long enough to have a better warranty. Oh well, they will be losing much business. Sony is alright with me. I got everything I needed in one. Plus the price is right! You can't go wrong, I am not the brightest when it comes to tech stuff but this is easy! Go ahead I dare you to buy one! You won't be disappointed!

Great alternative to IPOD Nano
Reviewed by BlueHawk (Avid Listener) from Ithaca, NY on Dec 24, 2007
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I got the Walkman because it can use the same AAC format files that the IPODs use. I believe those files are part of what makes them sound so good. So far they have made this Walkman sound great too.
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Sleek/Compact, Great Sound, Simple Controls

Awesome Product
Reviewed by TC (Casual Listener) from Huntsville, AL on Oct 19, 2007
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I highly recommend this mp3/video player. I have really enjoyed using it and haven't had a problem with it. The menu is easy to learn to operate, the sound quality is great, the FM tuner picks up stations well, the device is small, battery life is great, the device has a sturdy feel, and design is excellent. Also, you can play tracks by looking at the folders on the drive instead of having to search by album, artist, genre, etc. Easy to load files onto memory by simply dragging and dropping. I love it and definitely believe it is a better deal than the ipod nano.
Best Uses: At Work
Pros: Great Sound, Reliable Performance, Drag Drop Files, Easily fits in pocket, Easy To Set Up, Simple Controls, Lots of Storage, Tough, Excellent battery life, Easy to Learn to Use, FM Tuner Works Great, Sleek/Compact
