In my opnion the Sony Walkman is one of the best MP3 players around. It is small its dimensions are 86mm, 53mm, 11mm. It looks very good and can easily fit into you pocket.
A bad point aabout it is the headphoes that come with it . one of the wires is long and the other is short. This stops you from having both earpieces in at once and having it placed in your pocket. This can easily be remedied by getting a new set of headphones, so don't let that put you off.
It is easy to use with picture symbols representing various options. The volume has a range of 30. 1 being the quietest and 30 being loadest. The sound quality is great no matter what volume you have it the music stays the same. It does not crackle.
The screen is very clear and you can choose the lighting strength and effects, to save battery power. A bad point is that the screen can scratch so I would recommend getting a case or protective cover to keep it in good condition.
The battery power of it is great. It lsat for hours. Depending on how much you use it. For example if you simply let it play through or on shuffle you would get much longer than constanly choosing sogns, but it would still last for several hours.
Features it includes are shuffle, a range of play styles, a star rating system from 1 to 5, many playlists, most played 100 (you need to use a computer for this), a similar artist search. You can search the data files by album, Artist or Song. This piece does not include a clock.
Charging it up is very simple with a included charge that plugs into the wall. It may oly take a few hours to get it up to full charge. Alternativly you can charge it up via PC when you are putting music onto it.
The Sony Connect player does not take long to install and when installed you can put music onto it to transfer to your Sony Walkman easily. Or you can import it from oher systems such as Media player. the memory is fantastic and can hold many many songs at little memory.
If you are looking to buy a new MP3 player i would recommend the Sony Walkman for its many qualities and value for money.
You should sort out the spelling error in the title; it happens to the best of us, but having a big bold word spelt wrong is embarressing! A good review though; I quite like the one long one short headphones. I believe you're supposed to have it in the pocket on the short side. It fits easier, and doesn't fall out as much I find.
