Sony Walkman MP3 Player Review
The Sony Walkman MP3 Player is an excellent alternative to the ubiquitous iPod. After having traveled with this particular player (NWZ-S616F) for the last year I’ve come to prefer the Walkman over Apple’s reigning champ for several reasons (see below). If you’re looking for an affordable, durable MP3/video player that’s high value, give this a look. Features: – Plug-and-play functionality. No need to install software to move files into or out of the player – 320×240 display on a 1.8 screen …

ive converted to many different types of mp4 & this damn thing wont recognize anything idk what im doing wrong any help would be appreciated
& other than the vid prob, this player is great
I like my sony walkman nwz-e344, but it gets scratched so easily. I see a new scratch on it everyday.I’m gonna buy a scratch removing solution,a screen protector,and a case for it.
how about a zune hd. and if u dont like touch sreens then get the 120GB VERSION or the 4,8,and 16 versions. zune is better then all. hah
I had this same one. But today, Christmas, I got a new Sony MP3 Player ((it’s amazing)). Thanks to this mp3 player, I only like Sony MP3s now. Haha. Screw you, iPod. But I had the mp3 being reviewed here for three years. And it went strong til a couple of months ago. I am a KLUTZ, and this sucker SURVIVED. It really is a great one.
Nice review
I know it’s a hassle but you might want to try contacting sony customer service.
Start by emailing then follow up with calling their 800-number if you don’t get a response then. Have the model number and possible your time of purchase handy to make things easier.
Wish I could be more help.
Good Luck!

what is better creative zen mozaic or sony NWZ-S616F…
I have a Creative Zen player, its very nice and simple to use. Similar to this, I liked to be able to change the song with out taking it out of my pocket.
ANd now I have an iTouch that I got as a birthday present.
From what I hear this is a great player. I liked your review. I’m supposed to be meeting a guy from Craigslist to purchase one tomorrow. Thanks for the good review.
does it have a watermark or words in the middle of the video when you convert or is it just clear cuz i got watermarks and they annoy me a little
i ment format factory has the 320×240 display settings on it.
i have the same one and i have a ipod touch. i like the walkman better because all you do is drag and drop without having to synk you music and transfer perchases like the ipod and for video i use “FORMAT FACTORY” because you can convert and make the video fit on the walkman screen exakly because it has the walkman format and everything in the programe as well as ipod and other devices. good video someone actually likes the walkman!! ;)
that’s 100% true, I bought an ipod 2 yrs ago, the sound is fucking crappy!,, no bass, no loudness, no quality!. I decided to change for a walkman then ,, It was like be in heaven listening to the Clear Bass and CUSTOM EQUALIZER!! .- with ipod you cant customize your equalizations and the presets of it are .. fuck.
I’ve had the sony Walkman for 2years and kicks the ipod players in the face! the sound quality is soooo much better and it uses mp3s so no itune and $burning :)
the reason I dont have an ipod is because I HATE iTunes. xD
Ok, i did it and the file went to ITunes. Like it always did with the other damn files I tried. I can’t put files from ITune onto my Walkman. What am I doing wrong? I’m getting so frustrated!
Thank you, I will try this. Hopefully it will work. ^^
The Walkman will only play .mp4 video files (the same files for an ipod).
Google “Free YouTube to Ipod and PSP Converter”
Download the program and then convert the video to ipod mp4 format (NOT psp mp4). They should play in the Walkman then.
Good Luck!
