Nevertheless, I've still purchased nearly every variant of Sony digital portable music player Sony developed over these decades, and even put up with the oft-maligned Sony "SonicStage" software because of the sound quality of the ATRAC-encoded

I recommend to anyone who loves music and just wants to have no limits on memory or capacity in general

Want the best music player at a fair price

very nice music player

you CAN drag music AND playlists directly from iTunes into the Walkman

I've been purchasing Sony portable music players all the way back to the mid-1990's when people had not yet become familiar with the concept of an "MP3" file

When paired with high end headphones that have additional settings, music could very well sound great.

The Sony NW-A45 is a nice little music player

Just choose a random selection of tracks on the go, which you would think would be a fairly basic requirement for a modern music player

If you like good sounding music or you are an audiophile on a budget, then the player is a recommended buy

Can only create play lists on your computer with Sony's laughably horrible music program.

I'm a longtime user of their Mini-disc music players, and I was very curious to see how their modern music players are

Slow to turn on, but really great music player

You can carry nearly half a TERABYTE of solid-state-based digital music on this device if you

While listening to 128kbps mp3s, I still got lost in details and enjoyed the music quite a bit, often thinking "wait, was this Hi-Res

Would be hard to justify the price for non audiophiles but this is the absolute best personal music player out there

there is more to portable music players than iPods!

Not really, sounds like somebody is stealing music, all my ripped music is perfectly sorted

And that's what you do with this little device, LISTEN and appreciate the music.

The problem is sorting music.

Good music doesn't get much better!!!

Still not as warm and as open as I remember the Fiio (even via bluetooth) to be but much better than my iPhone obviously.
