Review on Sony Psyc Portable Walkman DNE050PSBLK by Jesus Samaddar

I bought this to replace my old Panasonic SL-SX430 which eventually broke after years on the road. The SL-SX430 had a battery life of up to 85 hours with two AA batteries! It never cracked, played every MP3 CD I made at home, and was a great player for the $50 I paid for it in 2003. I couldn't find another to replace the broken one. on this Sony because I couldn't find many CD players that play MP3s anymore. I think everyone only uses offline mp3 players. In any case, no battery life is specified on the packaging, which is only 11 hours for an audio CD and 23 hours for MP3 playback. The player also often skips or stops the audio if there is even the slightest scratch or fingerprint on the disc. My old Panasonic played my badly scratched discs just fine. The sound quality is okay. No complaints here. If you've never had a CD MP3 player, you might think this player works just fine. I personally just hate replacing an item with something of lower quality.
