Perfect for listening to audio books. [Posted on 2008-06-17]
I bought this for listening to audio books. It will pick up where you left off when you stop. Allows you to set bookmarks (which you probably won't need since it will pick up where you left off by default). You can fast forward and reverse without having to go all the way back or forward a chapter, for those times you missed something and want to hear it again. Basically it has every feature I wanted in a device to listen to books.
For ATRAC-3 Fans Only [Posted on 2008-07-24]
This Sony MP3 and ATRAC-3 player is a BUY if you have many ATRAC-3 burned music discs and want to preserve your collection, rather than changing it over to MP3. That is basicaly the review in a nutshell.
You can continue to read - if you are a SONY product improvement manager, and think "how can I improve this walkman?"
First, the SPORTS theme is excellent. Nice rugged look and feel, and buttons don't jump on/off at a delicate touch. So, you can put this baby in your gym pants, gym bag, etc. and it will not trigger anything on/off. That was a problem with the Sony DNF430. Everytime I reached for it, the music changed. So, the buttons can make or break its practical use in the sports activity area. Good job with this model.
Here, it should get 5 stars.
Second, the arm band should be optional. The size of the CD player makes it awkward to hold in the palm of the hand, or strapped onto the arm. It really belongs on the waist area or in a belt assisted carry bag. I am comfortable with my pocket camera in a belt bag, I am also comfortable with my cell phone in a belt pouch. There are many products on the market here for me to buy - which support my needs. Yet, this Sports CD player, because of its protruding handle, cannot fit into any bag. Frustrating? Yeah. Very. The practical usage of this Sports CD player becomes very limited.

This is a great CD player for the person on the move. The handle fits comfortably and secure so you can move your arms without restrictions. It is the best one I have ever purchased and worth every cent....Highly recommend.

This Walkman CD player is rugged and great for active walking...I bought a Tune Belt Deluxe Plus CD Player carrier to go with it...but that was not the accessory it needed because the handle comes up about an inch and a half, not allowing the player to fit in the carrier...the player has worked as I had hoped it would
Great CD player [Posted on 2008-08-30]
We really enjoy this CD player. We are using it for a Listening Program and it works great for the kids and myself.
