GREAT MP3 I love this mp3, I've had it for a year i use it constantly, it is a great value and has never failed me. December 21, 2010
this little thing is awesome Easy to use. I like the fact that I can upload one thing at a time without it eraseing everthing else I had already uploaded from the day before. I did notice with the red walkman the back cover is a different shade of red than the front. And that makes no differents when you put the walkman in a cover. September 6, 2009
better than an ipod ill have to say im quite disappointed with this mp3 player, the first problem i've had is the color, i bought it at a local best buy and all they had was red and i dont think it looks very good. the second problem im having is that every time i turn it on i get a notification saying "creating library" for 5 minuets. there are a few other minor things i dont like but ill tell you the good things, the audio quality is fantastic. ive had it for over a week constantly using it and the battery thing at the bottom still says full. the drag and drop content transfer is helpful because it automatically puts content in the right folder July 28, 2009
it is what you pay for The buttons are so much easier to use compared to ipod. the design is definetly my style. The only downside is i don't like listening to same songs over and over so i like to shuffle my songs. The thing is you will get at least one song that will ALWAYS be either the first or second song and thats annoying. But besides that it does what i need it to do which is entertain me. June 8, 2009
