When the Walkman was first released the whole world dropped thier jaws and let out a amazed oooing sound... it is even said the the advertising copyrighter that made up the slogan "Don't run, walk man" was able to retire on that sentence alone. But in the technological age we live this product won't be able to turn many heads.
The sony D-NE511/S comes with power compression software which allows you to put up to 30 CD's onto one CD and play it through your D-NE511/S. The missing word in that sentence is ONLY...these compressed CD's can only be played through sony walkmans with ATRAC recording technology which makes it hard if you want to share your newly created mixes with friends. The same software also lets you make CD's containing loads of mp3 files (not sure on a certain number as i have never had enough mp3 files to push the softwares limitations). Furthermore you are able to download the song details so you don't get "Track 4" appearing on the small display.
A handy little extra is the jog dial (normally seen on phones) which allows searching for tracks much easier when you don't want to take the whole walkman out of your pocket.
In the end Sony have made an, OK, product for the cash strapped spender but myself, I would just splash out the extra money for Apple's ipod, but recommended none the less.
