I finally gave up this Saturday past and bought an MP3 player. I was out with some friends and they decided to drop by a Best Buy store. I browsed through their small selection of players and saw that the 16GB S Series Walkman was on sale for $129.99 CAD, rather than the usual $149.99. I had originally intended to buy the smaller E series but when they were both the same price, I decided to go for the bigger one. The only difference between the two is the LCD screen size and the built in speakers for the S Series.
I have owned many models of the iPod players and many other brands of MP3 players and none have ever been perfect. My newest one is not perfect either but for a straight forward music player, it gets the job done. Upon opening the packaging, I started to load a small number of music files into the player. The task was simple enough, as I just dragged and dropped the files from my computer and into the player's music folder. What I wanted to test was whether the player is able to make a playlist on the player itself. To my disappointment it doesn't. The process required the playlist to be made on the computer but it was simple enough that I made one right away and does not require any additional software.
So far, I am quite impressed with the sound quality, and with a battery life of over 30 hours, I suspect that I should only have to charge this one every two weeks or so. It does have the ability to play video files and pictures but I think I will use this new player as my music only device.
