Sony NW-E107 Network Walkman 1 GB Digital Music Player (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There's a few things too look for in a flash player.
Long Battery Life. Check.
LCD Screen with International Language Support. Check
Good Navigation. Ah, good enough.
Price. Check

Easy to put songs in. This is the major one.

Here comes the doozy.
YOU can only use SonicStage Software to put files into this 'chine. No drag and drop. No drag and drop. What happens if you want to port stuff over to say a school computer? Nope. Say you want to port stuff over to friends place. Nope. Say you want to port stuff from your friend to your place. Nope.

That really sucks. Flash is more expensive than Hard Drive MP3s. If you cant use it as storage as well as listening to music then it's not worth that extra cash wedge, battery life or no battery life.

Product Description:
Pump up the volume wherever you are--whether pounding the urban jungle pavement or power cycling at the gym--with Sony's NW-E107 Network Walkman. Amazingly small and light, the round NW-E107 measures just 2.21 inches in diameter and weighs under one ounce. It has a 1 GB internal flash memory and plays MP3, ATRAC, and ATRAC3plus formats. It's also compatible with content purchased and downloaded from Sony's Connect Music Store (available for Windows PC users only).
Originally developed for Sony's MiniDisc players, the ATRAC3 format increases the sound compression rate by approximately one-tenth, thereby reducing the file size and enabling you to store more music. ATRAC3plus goes even further, with compression levels of 1/20 the original sound source, but provides stronger sound quality than other formats and comparable compression levels. The 512 MB memory will store up to 680 songs, or over 44 hours (calculated at 4 minutes per song using ATRAC3plus compression at 48 kbps). Though it doesn't play WMA or WAV, these formats can be converted into either ATRAC3 or ATRAC3plus.
Because music is stored on internal flash memory--with no moving parts, like hard drive-based players--the NW-E107 won't skip when jostled, making it the perfect workout partner. The NW-E107 has a blue backlit LCD that provides song information (such as title, artist, album, etc.) and easy toggle navigation. It also includes a bass and treble equalizer.
