Sony Sports Walkman CD player

Bookmark player, a definite plus when listening to audio books and doesn't skip when I'm listening to different activities. I like listening to audio books from the library. This player allows me to do that. I've tried a few cheaper CD players but they skipped, broke quickly, and didn't save bookmarks. This repeatedly required finding the final station in the story when listening to the audio book again. There are models where the batteries can be changed without removing the CD (nice feature)…

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

Built-in sports grip interferes with any other use

The CD player itself has no complaints, but there are two curved flexible blades on the back of the unit that are designed to wrap around the user's hands, which is annoying if someone just wants to mount the device on a table, etc. The device is MP3-compatible, but, and I think that's a big "but", you have to burn the MP3 files onto a disc before you can use them in the Player plays, which in itself is not a voice recorder. Bottom line, not as useful as I would like. I bought it before my…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive

Only for ATRAC-3 fans (obsolete after 2010)

This article is obsolete. Atrac-3 is no longer supported. Why buy now? Okay, back in 2008 if you want to read on. This Sony MP3 and ATRAC-3 player is worth buying if you have a lot of ATRAC-3 music discs and want to keep your collection rather than swapping out for MP3. This is basically a review in a nutshell. You can read on if you are a SONY Product Improvement Manager and you are wondering "How can I improve this player?” First of all, the SPORT theme is excellent. Nice solid look and the…

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Without automation
