 tkaw1688's recommendation | |
Stylist looking
Small, very light
Easy to manage music as group in the player's menu
Long battery
Need to have software to transfer music
High level of radio-sensitivity which 'beeps' when going in a shop with shop lifter detecter
LCD screen cannot be read in daylight
I bought the Sony NW-E407 mp3 player, not because it has the looks, the feature, the battery life and that it is very small (similar size than the Philip audio key 512mb), but it will actually enable me to convert all the song to ATRAC format which will reduce the size of the song originally and yet still producing high quality of music (although it takes time to process it).
However, the downside of this mp3 player is that in order to access to your music on the computer, you must have the software to enable it to run it, which means that your music cannot be open or share in any other computer unless it has a Sonic Stage programme!
Also, the LCD screen is pretty useless when it's sunny and the only time that is useful is at night.
Finally, to the most critical part of this mp3 player is that it probably has high level of radio-sensivity going on which any of you could make a big fool of yourself in front of many shopper, as it appears to make all the shoplifter's detector (or whatever it called) 'beep!'in any store (such as HMV, WHSmith, Woolworths etc) whenever you enter or exit the door from these stores...so that makes everyone turn a glance on you for when the security guard came to search your bag for nothing.....
Phew, for the sake of any of you who wants to buy a decent, stylist, high quality mp3 player, I strongly recommend this, however there will be a price to pay back for the advantage. Therefore I wish good luck to any of you who is condering this mp3 player.
