good one!

I got this in 4gb sat. morning, sunday I had it filled up with 911 songs. I use a Vista laptop and had no problems at all. The sound is outstanding if you trash the junk earphones that come with it. I am using Grado headphones and it sounds just like my cd's. The FM radio picks up more than any other small radio of it's type I have used. Pretty much the best mp3 player I have used. The battery seems to last longer than the creative Zen I have been using. You won't regret springing for one of these if you want good sound in a easy to use package , just get whatever decent headphones you want, the ones you get should sell for about two bucks!

Best Bang for the Buck

I've owned an iPod Shuffle for about a year, and recently decided to clean house a little and get rid of my CD collection. After burning all of them onto a flash drive and donating them to the local Goodwill (= nice tax break), I had to find a player good enough to hold them. I read a lot of reviews, looked at all the options, and finally settled on the Sony 4GB walkman. Excellent choice. Sound is way better than my Shuffle, and I am impressed with the ease of use and number of features. Like other reviewers, I am saddened by the lack and cost of accessories, but I expect these to come onto the market soon. I would most like to see an adapter for Sony car stereos, as they have for the iPod, to make it easier to navigate using the stereo alone. Come on Sony, grant my wish! Also ended up donating my home CD player and buying a $5 Y-adapter for my home stereo. What a space saver, and this thing has ended up paying for itself!

Watch out IPod!

I have the Sony NWZS616 Black 4GB and couldn't be happier! It has the capability to hold up to 2300 songs plus videos and it also has an FM receiver, with 30 presets. The battery life is great...up to 33 hours! This is a great choice if you don't want to pay the IPod price. I paid $109.95 from Amazon with free shipping and no SS tax!

Sony NWZ-S616F and Audiobooks

I listen to allot of books that I download from my library system using Overdrive, which uses protected wrm files. I was excited to see this player as a compatible one on the overdrive library website so purchased it.

Everything the reviewers say about this player, the battery life, easy user interface, great sound, etc. are true, so I like the player from these aspects.

The problems in using this player for audiobooks is twofold. First there are no bookmarks. My listening tracks are about 70 minutes long. If I want to listen to FM, I can easily switch over to it. However, when I go back to music, the player acts like I am starting over. I have to find the the file I was listening to and then fast forward through it until I find my place in the book.

Second, the fast forward/backward option. My old Creative Muvo would accelerate the fast forward the longer I hold down the button. So moving forward from the 10 to the 20 minute mark is much faster than going from the 0 to 10 minute mark. The sony only fast forwards at the same, slow, rate regardless of how long you hold down the button. So while it took seconds to move forward 40 minutes with the Creative, this player seems to take forever, although I haven't actually timed it.

I still plan to use this player as my primary, as I have already sunk my money for it, but had I to do it over, I would have picked a different player for my specific needs.

Hopefully Sony can come out with a firmware update to address these requirements.

Great walkman with great features!!

Sony is finally in the MP3 player race. The 616F Walkman is thoughtfully built with features, such as an FM Tuner, video support and drag and drop uploading that make this player one of the best. The ability to use Windows explorer to upload photos, music and video to the player is a great advantage so users do not have to install yet another application that "moves files around". The battery life for music playing is touted at 33 hours, and it comes very close to hitting that mark and in some cases exceeds! I left my Walkman playing over night after listening to it for 8 hours and still got another 8 hours of listing enjoyment. This is a fantastic feature especially since I am in an environment that I cannot readily charge my device!

Overall this is a fantastic player that I would highly recommed to anyone looking for a lightweight mp3 player.
