Reviews:

Great!
Beautiful sound, ease of navigation, drag and drop loading, quality headphones, and quality build. I love it!


Superb quality!
I have my new toy a short-circuit had, while and he is, thus bright I it everyone in high of degrees to recommend can, which looks for alternatives to ipod the nano. Sony revived and proudly with this did completely the milling one mark. This A row is simple supremely to use when it comes to the music


What a surprise!
Got this MP3 yesterday, and I must say ,this is the best MP3 I have ever heard. Outstanding sound, operation and quality. Thank you sony for bringing this to us. And those who're watching , hey ,you can just click the add to cart button and wait for it to please you.


so much better then my old I-Pod
My old ipod fell apart a few weeks ago and the search was on for a new mp3 player, I was thinking about a zune, because i bought one for my wife and actually liked it, but didn't want her music on my player and visa versa. So I stumbled upon this little thing. Why sony is not promoting this mp3 player better is beyond me. now that i've had it for about 2 weeks now and have everything on it like, photos and music, I know without a doubt this was the best choice for me. fits in my pocket perfectly my old 30 gig ipod was a little uncomfortable. The sound quality is amazing. the battery life is insanely long, photo resolution is crisp and clean. I like being able to zoom in close on a cd and show my friends what i'm listening to if they like it. I can't see myself ever going back to apple. Sony had let me down a few times in the past but this was a nice suprise and a first step at them regaining some confidence in me and buying there products again. I hope in time they make some models with my space, but I can live with the 8 gig for now, and like a few other people have said, the cord, it needs to be about 3-6 inches longer and that's it, i'm 5' 10" and at the gym it tends to tug on my ear and that is about the only complaint I have about this little wonder. If you are contemplating an 8 gig mp3 player and can't decide between apple,microsoft or Sony, Sony have jumped into my number 1 spot followed by my wifes zune. you absolutely can't go wrong with this machine. buy it. glad I did.


Great MP3/Video player
This is my first applicable mobile audio player and must say that I am very lucky with my acquisition. This unit marks everything, which I in a player MP3, which is - fast user interface would wish, the large earbuds, simply, to controls, to use large sound quality and long battery life. Ohter rezensenten are already probably more rueber it pro and Cons went, but, being honest it do everything, which I would wish. Tones largely with the contained earbuds or in auxiliary putting version entrance of my carrier tensely.


Drag & drop, easy to use menus, great sound
Sony NWZA818BLK 8GB Walkman Video MP3 Player (Black)

I bought this to replace a Sansa M250 (2GB) because I wanted more storage, better sound and menus that were easier to navigate. This passes all the teste with flying colors.

I use a Mac, and the drag-n-drop features work flawlessly. The sound is dynamic whether I'm using the stock phones (pretty darn good ones) or plugging it into my car stereo. I listen primarily to Americana/bluegrass and West Coast blues and it handles low and high range just fine.

My only gripe and the reason for no 5th star is the proprietary cable (no std USB), but that's a minor complaint. This is a superior MP3 player and I plan to get plenty of use from it.


Outstanding !!
The concert of the Sony Walkman 8 is a large alternative to a Ipod. It is small, bright and simple to steer the announcement. The announcement is very clear. Bought the Sony mainly, in order to do audio books, but music and photo added. The battery life is outstanding. The ear buds are a step over most, which accompany a player mp3.


Wonderful!
I had a Zen V plus, which held, to freeze above. I saw that a report of this product on the television appearance "I wish". I decided to do and find something research that it had large reports. I bought and I am so glad that I. It is wonderful. The Muehelosigkeit of bringing that song, the playback, the beautiful color screen, I could continue on and. I have tons song on him and lots area for more. I could not be luckier with this product. I wish that it came with a belt tie-clip, but I bought straight, in order to use with it. They are not sad, if you buy this product.


Great MP# Player
This player is great. With 8 gigs of storage, it hold about 200 CD's so there is plenty of choices to listen to. It downloads easily using windows explorer, just drag and drop. The headphones that come with it are of a very high quality and it produce amazing sound. The controls are very easy to use and figure out. I got a plastic hard case for it from EBay to protect it and it really looks sharp. I would definately recommend buying this MP3 player.


WHY DOESN' THE IPOD SOUND LIKE THIS???
I played the Chopin Nocturnes by Pollini in this marvel... and wow.It's completely another universe compared with the Ipod nano (last before one generation). The low frequencies are actually there, sounding as they should sound, and the higher ones don't resemble tin cans vibrating. Sony go for it!!!: If you manufacture a 160g mp3 player with this sound quality in the spirit of the Walkman Professional cassette player of the 80's, you will win all music lovers over, who will wonder "Steve Jobs who?"


Outstanding!
Excellent achievement to use simply very small unit, probably smaller than a IPOD. The clay/tone is because of the ear buds protruding, which come with it. I hear notes, which I did not hear before. Simply to load with music, work each time. Intuitively enough, which are not really necessary instructions, but they are present in the pdf form on a contained disk. Earbuds come with an extension, which is normally used the whole time. The value of the extension is that, if the ear buds keep confused, which forms to untangle a pulling of the cord into two pieces it more simply. Another characteristic is not frequently mentioned that the right ear has however a longer line and the left ear bud has a shorter line. This forms it more simply to explain which L and R are, without to have, for few bitty pressure to look. Received for me and my wife. A creditor of my wife, never uses those educated to headphones in the past has liked.


CUTE! VERY, VERY CUTE! :-)
PRO:
It's small, very light weight and most importantly, easy to operate. Drag and drop files are easier than cooking a TG meal, however, not sure why as a few (mp3) refused to transfer over to the player. If you run into such problem with any ipod/mp3 player, DL a converter software to fix those particular audio mp3 files. You shouldn't have a problem after that with transferring.

CON:
I know accessory no. 1 would have been great if it was included...a "Protective cloth". I have no choice but to wait for my "case" to arrive and more $$$ for the ac adapter?

UNSURE:
I can't speak on battery life yet, since I haven't used it for more than a few hours.

OVERALL! YOU'LL LIKE IT, IF NOT LOVE IT!



Cute/stylish/light
I bought this mp3 player as a backup right after my old mp3 player broke. I was just going to use this mp3 player for a few weeks before getting an actual real mp3 player...but ive had it for a couple of months, and i think im just going to keep on using it!

I love this tiny mp3 player because of the battery life. The battery life is AMAZING...I rarely experience that stressful feeling you get before you go out to go somewhere, and you see that your mp3 is low on battery. And if you charge it for a little bit, it lasts for a sufficient amount of time.

But one thing is that it only comes with the cord that charges the mp3 from the computer. They sell the outlet charger separate. And also, i only use this for music. I rarely use this for movies/pictures...etc. so if you want to use this mp3 player for pictures/movies and other tools, you should look into others.

Since this is so tiny and light, I use it ALL the time when i go running or to the gym. You can easily put it in a pocket, or they sell those running arm bands
For music, this is one of the best mp3s out there!


Sony NWZ-A818
Screw that iPod/iTunes muck! Apple of attempts to the rule over all. That is wrong


Fantastic MP3 Player
Bought this player MP3 for Christmas and up to now its been largely. The player comes with these new kind headphones, a point, which is to the beginning with funky, but you received soon to them uses. Sound quality is fantastisch and is one of the selling main points for the player. Navigation is thus simple, does not need you really the instructions. Graphics are large, everything, which you would expect in a Sony kind. I estimate that something points are, to them on to be above pulled you: 1. The new Sony software, for from of music to to handle is fundamentally to say the few use Windows central player (as one recommends) or fair use of the players as usb drive. 2. The screen must be by a certain format, used I one of the free utility programs on the net, but help out to be a Schandesony inclination us! But to be honest each possible negative there arent really shows. This player MP3 is exactly which you from Sony expects, a quality product with great clay/tone its also a nice change of iPod!


Will not dissapoint you!
This player mp3 is song very bringing - song to bring is simply, if you know, what your doing. Time I players mp3 mean, tried first synced it to synchronization all means, which I had. But, after I adjusted the synchronization elections, it was very simple. And the good messages are that the only thing, which you must bring to song is window central player! Sony thanks! They can drag music in it player(for also straight, you fewer users = D) advaned. Sound quality - surprisingly! This is the best thing over the player! If you are a sound Qualitaetssonderling, this the player for you. A Theres quantity of EQ elections and sound enhacers. If you aroung with the player a little when confuse, you shure, to find to the perfect clay/tone for them. Video quality - the videos view, on this and fantastisch are like that, illustrations for this affair do. I wished a player, who did everything, and I was not dissapointed. Also for all bevoelkeren it, whom legends receive certainly you diagonally videos on this thing, you box! Aluminium, which you must do, is to use (Jodix free iPod video converters). There you go! Durabilty - which seems player to be very durable. The body is metal and will certainly last. The screens pretty good seems, but I have mild OCD, thus for most people am probably perfect it. During in on the topic, I also the delightful leather Fallsony of offers bought. Examine from my report on it. Extrainformatiom - funtionality the player is very simple. The actual capacity of the player is 7.3G., which the supplied headphones are distinguished, but could a liitle short-circuit for some people be. Everything in the whole player is excellent, and most people love it! Add it your cart!


Awesome MP3 Player
I bought this player MP3, to that on other reports on this place of assembly was based and was not disappointed. The clay/tone is concert-resounds quality ("boehmischer Rhapsody" the attempt queen, if you have not already), but the principal reason, which I bought it, should free audiobooks from the web site of my library downloaden. Audiobooks on the library Web site can, not on IPods be set however to become with other players MP3 to work. My only unaccomplished desire is in the situation its, forward within an individual song or a section one audiobook too chamfered. I place before me that this is a pretty advanced characteristic and there cannot be a player MP3 from there that can it do, but it to me would permit to switch between hearing to a book for hearing music without mean place in the book to lose. Other rezensenten weighted the fact that 8GB was not so large, as they would like, but I had (2) 9stuendige of books and approximately 50 song on him and has only one break gigabyte used. I estimate that films eat up much more area, but I plan to set no screen on him (the screen is an acceptable size for a player MP3, but it is still pretty small and my eyes is over 50: -)) I am not super+technically bent and it was relatively simple to keep set up and Downloadinhalt. I recommend cordially this player.


Great device, Sony-proprietary USB cable
The glowing reports read here, convince me that the own Sony of old had finally learned its lesson, with improved user interface (the Minidisc interface was horrend) and no own music management often commodity (the SonicStage software effectively the Minidisc ruined). The machine is one to use joy, is large the sound quality, and the battery life astonishes. But then throwback a Sonys maintained ground to the own ways - which USB cable again, which is also used, in order to load the device. It is Sony specifically, that means the fact that the device from a PC with the attached Sony cables are only loaded and can be loaded. So it is you extra cable (me white not if there existing energy an adapter), buys, you effectively to the PC is grounded. For me history Sonys given, was this restriction reason of enough to return the unit. Dishonor, because it has the conditions of a IPodmoerders.


Sony NWZ-A818
stellar sound quality from the unit itself, which is complimented by the best stock earbuds that ive seen coming with an mp3 player.

pretty much standard interface wise, by that i mean that nothing stands out and nothing to complain about.

the only thing lacking for me is .avi format support, but that is easily overcome by conversion.

great screen too. looks better & brighter than the ipod when put side by side.

gotta love the volume rocker.


Love the Sony Walkman
I have been a fan of Sony for a long time - but was not happy with their early attempts at creating mp3 players. I owned a Sony walkman Bean and the next generation. The price was right but the Sony Sonic Stage software was horrendous! Well, that is no longer an issue - this is the easiest player in the world to use. I just use Windows Explorer to drag and drop music files onto the unit - it takes no time at all - and I am ready to go. I also use Windows Media Player when I want to be a bit more selective and that is a breeze as well.

For me though, the 2 things that I like the best about this player are the sound quality (incredible) and the long battery life. I travel frequently and the 30+ hours of battery life on this player means that I do not have to worry about losing my ability to play music during a flight or a workout. Now the sound. Some people have mentioned the great headphones that come with this unit (an they are)the only thing wrong with the headphones is the short cable but they do throw an extension cord in with them. I use Shure headphones and I am hearing nuances in the music that I have only heard while sitting in my living room listening through studio headphones. There is no hiss or buzz in the background - just music. Great options for equalizer.

I am very pleased with this and look forward to the day they make one with more memory -


Great but not perfect
There is much good to report on this product. Price was great. Sound/Ear phones are great. Easy to use. Two draw backs. No standard adapter plug for wall socket. That runs extra $40.00. That's a REAL negative. Also, instruction for converting Itunes is lacking. Should come with some type of converter package. Someday Sony needs to realize they are not in the electronics world all by themselves. They need to learn to play with all the other boys and girls in town. With that said, I still recommend it.


This is a Good MP3
My son did not wish a MP3 however a Ipod, since the latter, which he had never worked on to the right, even after some calls for the technical support. After the investigation I received the Sony to it and boy, am not he not!! disappointed! The size is well, the good quality and up to now, 2 months after the acquisition, it the Sony opposite Ipod preferential.


Even for us older guys...
Have been looking for an Ipod or MP3 for several months. Finally decided on the Sony, primarily because I wanted to load my library of CD's. Reviews said that Sony had quality sound and ease of downloading. You know what they were right. It couldn't be easier. Player looks sturdy and simple to use. Directions helpful and almost not necessary. I'm over 60 and not regarded as an electronic wizzard, but I was listening to music is a half hour or less. I was a little skeptical of using earbuds, but I find them to be comfortable and sturdy. Only negative comment might be that there's no AC adaptor, but I can live without one especially with a 33 hour battery life. Bottom line - excellent unit.


Awesome Sound--Easy to Use
My wife bought me to this Sony as weihnachtsgeschenk. I did that whole buying and read lots of reports (Amazon, CNet and other where) before it explaining that the Sony 8GB was that. Excellent auserlesenes dear!!! The first thing, which I over this player as not packed I it considered and which was received loaded music the wonderful sound quality. In our family we have a Zen M 30GB (nicely however too large), iPod a Mini-4GB (okay, if you are iPod a fan) and my old Sansa 1GB. The Sony burns all through away in pure sound quality and user friendliness expressed. The ear buds, which come with this unit, are top side notch. I audition of the discovery subtle instrumental tones within that song, which I had not considered before. With the ability to drag simply


Works with Windows Vista 64BIT
PER -- flawlessly with Vista 64BIT tho even it says work to Sony system requirements that it does not function -- sound quality -- entzerrer -- screen quality -- user interface/reactivity -- counter acting force n DROP -- price CONS -- own connection -- desire came he with case (no large agreement, most players does not come with cases), SUMMARY, not much, which I can say, which is bad. I really love this product. I bought it based on all to these reports and it really up to the reports lived. I was a little hesitating to buy this since SONY said that it would not function with 64-bit operating systems, but I thought, since it is applicable counter acting force and drop, why not it work became thus I gave him an attempt. Well, it flawlessly functioned and above syncing with Windows central player 11 is a Brise. My choice came down to this player or to the nano. I did not make an error, which selects this player. Plus I could not turn an agreement at the electric circuit city down, which the version 4GB for $120 -- $30 less than the nano 4GB with the better ear buds and sound quality had! Dizzy high!


Fantastic Product
Pros:
-AMAZING sound quality!
-Great battery life
-Great headphones packaged with it
-No software needed to transfer music/video. Its truly drag & drop!

Cons:
-Video viewing angle smaller than other PVPs Ive owned
-Would be nice if it has a standard mini-USB connector instead of a proprietary one

Other thoughs:
-Even though it doesn't say its Mac compatible I have transfered files on/off of it using Leopard and no special software, go figure. (Player doesn't eject properly but no damage to data so far)
-Reccomend CloneDVD Mobile (fantastic) to create video files using the iPod Video setting. Perfect video files


Amazing Sound
I received this central player fairly coincidentally I knew never even Sony, which was formed these. I am glad it day, which I received him - mine ipod now seizes dust as well as other old electronics. The sound quality is amazing for headphones, which come with it. Its a large purchase - to use simply - very good battery life - Ipod is not the highest central player more. The small, bright, free screen, amazing clay/tone, to use simply and as esIST the price - excellent building quality - looks not like you paid $40 looks for it worth. Definitely recommended any and everyone.


i love my nwz and it loves me. so does sony.
Everything you want from an mp3. Flash drive with just enough space before you get into obnoxiously large hard-drives, enough so to hold loads of tunes and even a few videos. I've already managed to break mine once (ill be getting that snazzy hard case) and sony fixed it up and returned it shockingly quickly. such a sleek interface i feel fuzzy inside everytime i pick it up. some cons easily overlooked: not an expansive variety of play modes or equilizer settings (comes with custom though). and thats just about it. incredible sound quality as well with spectacular factory earphones. for anyone looking for performance and sick of ipods.


Complete package!
I have never owned an MP3/Video player, this is my first. I researched for months and months and finally settled on the Sony NWZA818.

I am so happy with my decision. I was down to the Nano and this one in the end and am glad I chose Sony. This is what nixed it for me and what I love about it:

1) Looks - Very small and sleek. I am one of the rare people who do not like Apple's scroll wheel. The buttons on Sony are very intuitive and easy to use. I did not even need to open up the manual except to check for video orientation settings. I am afraid I might damage it, its so delicate but I don't feel like spending $25 for a cover, so its OK.

2) Sound - I don't know where to start. I can't believe such a small thing can throw up such a beautiful sound! I mostly listen to Hindi music or Indian classical. This takes it to a whole new level. I love the equalizer settings too. The headphones that come in the package are very good, unlike the ones bundled with the Nano. Spending $70 on headphones might be OK for many people but why buy when you can get it as a part of the player?

3) Video and Photos: I loaded some photos onto the player on Day 1 and they look good. The screen is clear and sharp but I don't think I can watch a full-length movie on it, because of the screen size. Songs/short videos are fun to watch. I used a free converter called Jodix to convert an AVI file to MPEG4 and it worked well. I had a 25 minute video converted in 10 minutes and loaded onto the player using drag and drop.

4) Data Transfer - I used both Media Player and drag and drop. Both worked fine. The syncing function through Media Player is very fast.

I still have to try loading some podcasts/shoutcasts on this. But I hope it will work out fine. In all, I am happy with my purchase. I look forward to many pleasant commutes with my Walkman... :)


Makes iPod sound like a tin can
PER: The BEST crystal-free clay/tone of the player mp3 -- at all small and wave built (the silver is a durable chrome on metal), much of the area for my song (8GB = 5000 song) Napster, to to go (2 week attempt, then $15 one month) high Qualitaetsearbuds (MDR-EX85LP = $69,99 alone) is more contained the 33 hour of battery CHEAT: , screen strongly too receive to THANKS SONY!!!!


The amazon's service is pretty good
The good:The sound quality is the screen is sharply good. The bad: They cannot delete song to attach directly without to PC


It's all about the SOUND QUALITY.
Why does one buy a player mp3? Of course the obvious answer music is to hear. I had preceding players mp3: I began with 2. TOWARDS iPod and since at that time I am gone with creative completely. Principal reason, why because of the creative experience in the sound map catch is -- therefore, which I could do that their players had to sound better than Apple. I leave, I was not versed not in this player too, until he catches the auserlesenen price of a CNET of publisher in the digital audio acquired. Because I trust its reports, I decided, to take a more exact view. After one had played with the player for some SECONDS in the SonyStyle memory, I was sold immediately. I really straight cannot explain it..., which is amazing the sound quality. I am not a specialist, if she comes to the audio, but I know outstanding sound quality, if I hear it. I thought that it was fair the headphones (because, if you do your research, you find that these come with earbuds, which sell for $70 on the SonyStyle web site), but it the player are real. I took the same document mp3 and her on a 3. Production nano easily and switched straight out mean headphones back and forth between the apple and the Sony. There is a considerable quantity of the difference. The Sony has richer bass as well as freer vocals. For explanation manufactured I mean EQ attitudes in the Sony particularly on, while iPod I used standard undertakings (was not mine iPod). The clay/tone is on the Sony so clearly, that on some documents I noise/vocals to hear can this I never new existed background. It is as hears to the Lieden for the first time again. No joke. So lucky, as I am with the player, I ran into some expenditures. First away, the player on Windows central player 11 depends too. On my computer my WMP knows no song of the library (and me to add to have everything tried, I am honestly really the formed computer), therefore could I not synchronization or driving power song the preferential way. I used RealPlayer with any success... only thing am that, if you cause playlist it copies the documents mp3 with him, thus you double of the same document on your player have. Do not use the milling one central manager (you of the Sony support place of assembly downloaden can)... if you have everything, your music arranges in an individual booklet, takes the central manager the album art of the upper document and uses it for each individual document, which follows. Rather disturbing and even if the album art is embedded into the document, it represents still above like that first document. Not only however, if you regard album art, which is art half the size, then, which should be it. But somehow, copied I mean whole music to an external non removable disk drive assembly, use another computer, and everything works on large using WMP 11. In addition the battery life is outstanding. Screen is O.K...., which is the screen, beautifully however not everything watches out, which is too long..., if you liked to use this as video players to buy then something with a larger screen.


Just a really good MP3 player
I possessed sharp player in the order, in an old iRiver 256MB AA-PROPELLING, in a H120 (iRiver hp 20GB player), in a creative micro Zen (8 GBS), in a creative Zen nano (4GB) and in a creative nano (MT 512). All it leave for their production (I that 20GB never would use, hp more iRiver now... it then!) its very large even was satisfying, and they served me well. However the Sony A818 burns it through all COMPLETELY FROM the WATER. I cannot describing the row A818 differently than, in order to say, it am the first player from all, whom I possessed, which really gives me pleasure using. Pleasure totally separately from mash IC/PHOTO/VIDEOS, which keep and play it so good. It sounds to little, which is strange me, is safe (more than little?) but, if you possess, understand about you which I speak, there am fair something over it, between the unbelievably intuitive and wohlen thought out interface, which elegant put in and friendly crest factor, which beautiful screen, which amazing clay/tone..., which it takes place fair well-being is real. Did I finally mention Sony loose will SonicStage and ATRAC? there are no restrictions of WHATSOEVER on this player I uses Mediamonkey to load/edit documents on it. The only things, which I do not like approximately it, are the lack of Schnellplaylists, and the fact that changing of of ID3 for documents, which are ALREADY on the player is labeled sometimes unpleasantly (nothing unusually over for non iPods tho). But these are insignificant in view of all, which this player corrects. I give you an example of attention Sonys to the detail. First of all, it has a characteristic, which is these days far too rare; the ability to graze by ID changes (e.g. artist, album, category) AND by booklet. On my iRivers I kept very used for the booklet organization, and for some people this is crucial. For however when grazing by ID3 change, can do the first initials for whatever you will search handily indicated at the top side of the menu to catch you, thus you by the list fast jump over. Thus you use on and at control desk 4-way off, in order to go through the documents, as usual, but you use left and quite to jump over to the different initials fast. I never saw that this forms before and it for grazing simply and painless. Last which processor is in this thing, fast LIGHTNING is not... is there a convict more whatsoever between key operation you, execution and announcement, the agreement circuit breakers for me was on iPod the Nanos (me my terrible cellphone reminds). Did I mention the battery life? It is not amazing, has I an idea, which the battery life is, because I never saw it to dive in under a full staff and I use him for like 7-8 hours per day... All in all, I think the fact that it has the best player on the market iPods still iTunes is, which is crucial for some people, but, if you liked to look outside Apple world, gives you not up to nothing, by stepping into Sony.


Awesome in every way!
Two months ago I tragically lost my great Sony NW-HD5 player which I had for a while and was working great for me. I always loved the sound quality of Sony ever since I had their walkman CD player. They are just unbeatable in this aspect. So I have done some research looking for another player that can meet my music needs. I was deciding between this player or the new Ipod nano which both had 8gbs, since there was no other player that was bigger and as good. Both were equal in so many ways including video playability and portability. I read reviews of both and finally decided on the NWZA818 because of the great reviews and my knowledge of Sony's sound.
After owning it for half a month, I am more than happy with it and can say it is amazing. It is so much easier to transfer songs into it due to a simple drag and drop function and its awesome compatibility with windows media player 11 which allows easy synchronization. I imediately was able to get all the songs that used to be in my old player into this one due to a quick transfer. Like many reviewers said, the sound is flawless and with the high quality headphones this player provides, every song sounds so beautiful, especially when you tweak the clear bass and other sound options. Also, video can be easily transfered into the player via Nero 7(which I use) that converts the video files which is just great. Pictures put into the player looks great. Battery life is long lasting as well. All in all, this is probably the best player out there unless you have a million songs and cannot fit it into a 8gb. The player itself looks great and the size is just perfect for any pocket or bag. I recommend this player to anyone that needs a good mp3 player that can do it all.


Very Disappointed
After I had read all reports and my elections for replacing my classical I-POD (piece o'junk) had weighed, I decided, to buy the Sony NWZ A818. I really went off to a Sony kind memory and spoke with a salesman, to that I could really bring, from of music to this device to guarantee I-been correct. I was repeated explained that it would not be a problem at all. After frustrating some hours of playing with him and e-mail their on-line support center, I designated customer service. I then explained that I could not bring documents of I-co-ordinate, everything are the protected copywrite. Back to Sony it goes tomorrow.


great player



Better Than iPod
This mp3 player is great. It is much cheaper than an ipod, comes with ear buds (headphones) that sound amazing and are worth the price of the player itself. I put my entire music collection on it and still have more than half the memory left. If you have a PC and use windows this player is great because it is compatable with napster songs and other windows format music. Even cnet.com gave it thier editor's choice award, check it out! If you appreciate quality sound, get this mp3 player.


THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU;
I'll be 60 in 18 wks., so I have a lot of music to hear: oldies, classic country,acid rock, hard rock, modern rock, classical, easy listening & electronica. Yes, I'm a music lover.
My first mp3 player (bought about a month ago) was a Creative Muvo V100.
Bought because of drag & drop & AAA battery power. What a MISTAKE!
I put like 350 selections on it & could only get 30 or 40 to play. What
kind of stupid folder system is this?????
Then I saw the SONY 818 & read its glowing reviews. People let me tell you. This is the real deal. I got it about 2 days ago, and have over 1100 selections on it (many of which are album length) & all are at my fingertips. I am in heaven.
It's all true. Tremendous earphones, great bass response, etc.
AND it's got video also. I'll mess with it eventually.
You cannot go wrong with this player.
One more thing: The Creative Muvo took FOREVER to transfer music: about an hour for almost 2 gigs. The Sony 818 took about an hour for about 7 gigs, or an average of 3.5 secs./3 min. song. Enjoy.



This player is the best!
Just got this player for Xmas and I am amazed at the quality. The interface is exceptional. Very easy to use and navigate. I have been an Iriver fan for the last few years and this totally beats it. My last player was an Iriver CLix, which got a higher rating on Cnet than the Sony. I can tell you from experience, the interface on the Iriver is not as good, it is much slower, additionally, when you turn on the Sony, it starts up immediately; th Clix took some time to load. Additionally, the sound quality is the same if not better. I think Cnet gave it a higher rating because the Iriver has an FM tuner, voice recording and flash games. Personally I dont need those functions, I think if Iriver did not have those three options the Sony would have been rated higher. My wife has an Ipod, the sound on hers doesnt even come close. The Sony has an option to have two customizable EQ's, which in my book is key. You can easily switch between EQ setting while in the song my pressing the option button which brings a drop down menu to get into your settings. Also, another very key point is the drag and drop option, just open windows explorer and move your files. I am now a Sony fan!
Update - After owning the player for a couple of weeks, I have to say I'm truly amazed. I just downloaded a full length movie that a converted from a dvd, and it played it beautifully. The sound quality continues to impress me. A couple of things they should add for futore Sony players is being able to create a playlist on the fly and deleting files from the player. Also, you can only create playlists from Windows Media Player, it would be great if I could just create a playlist from explorer.


You can stop browsing, and buy this one!
If you're looking for simply the best tiny MP3 player on the market, this one is it. It's simply stunning quality and value.

First thing you notice is quality everywhere... the build of the player is much better than any competitor. Pure elegance. I couldn't believe the headphones bundled with the player. They're Sony's top-of-the-line earbuds that retail for $99, and I've not seen them discounted for less than $75 anywhere. That alone makes this player one of the best bargains around.

Sony did well with the music samples they decided to put on the player, as they really show off the quality of the sound. Once I powered it on and played it, I'm now not too fond of the sound coming from my other larger player.

With this one, you don't have to mess with iTunes or other garbage bundled software. You simply hook it up via USB and it looks like a hard drive on your system that you can simply drag and drop your music or videos into the proper folders. Convert your movies using DVDFab Platinum or other software (use iPod MP4 setting), and then just drag the resulting file to the player. It doesn't get any easier than that.

My wife stopped traffic in the airplane recently while watching movies on this thing. She was pretty annoyed with everyone asking where to get one, so I guess that's the biggest down-side to this player. Ha!


Great Sound Tiny package



Excellent MP3 player
I am very happy with the Sony Walkman that I recieved for Christmas. The features are great, easy to use, easy to sync from media player or itunes. There are not many accessories yet, but it is still new. The sound quality is incredible. My brother got an ipod for Christmas and I let him listen to my Walkman and he was blown away by the sound, the ear buds seat very well and give you all out sound. Sony makes some great products.


Solid Performer
The Sony feels solid in your hand with a chrome band around the outside and metal front and back. The buttons work well with the volume toggle on the side. The screen is sharp and vibrant.

The sound is fantastic. With EQ settings and clear bass you can customize the sound the way you like it. It is very close to my RH1 Minidisc with the Sony having more sound stage but a bit colder than the MD. The bass is extenuated more than a 1st generation Nano but the Sony outshines in overall sound quality. The provided headphones are good, but if you want that golden sound you will want to upgrade. You cannot create, alter play lists or delete songs without being jacked in to your computer. You can search by artist, album, genre ,release year, folder.

The picture viewer is good. Movie viewing on such a tiny screen require young eyes. The video looks great on the sharp screen and the DVDs have to be converted.

Battery life is good, I got an external charger to charge without USB.

Overall I am very satisfied with this player. I gave it a 4 because of the movie viewing on a tiny screen. I would recommend this player for listening to music which is what I got it for.


Best Bang for your Buck
I had regarded iPod the note after my new player mp3, but I was averse to peel from $300 for one. I had seen the Sony mp3 player at a memory in Vegas, and after doing of something research and reading off from of reports, I was completely sold. After players mp3 mean it had received, it took me approximately 5 minutes, in order to have everything to received set up and my Musikdownloading. It is large to use in a the position zuSEIN, Windows central player in order to downloaden my music since, which is, which I tend to hear to him and the headphones, which are the Sony with largely came - one like this in the small one for $70 and it were normally with this amazing player mp3 enclosed. The size is large, around the size of one iPod nano, and the memory 8GB is perfect for me. A simple to use interface and superior sound quality do not form this no more brainer for everyone, which looks for a player mp3, which would like to peel not from the money for iPod. Everyone should possess one of these.


WOW!! It's a Sony!
I received this for Christmas from my wife (OKAY - I ordered it, a ' cause, which does not know her much about this material), and I away by the quality and the user friendliness am burned through. I have to use still my Dell DJ20, which is excluded not with Vista and I plan to hold it in order, while I work in the yard, but this Sony is hands down a large player. I was, mean entire music drive on him in approximately 12 minutes with counter acting force to bring


Great Quality MP3 Player.
I did a quantity purchase after my creative cracked Zen Vision:M screen. This player was under the radar, and if it were not for Amazon, I would not have found this beauty. It is very small in the size, which is compared with my older players MP3. I may train the sharp memory, because it permits me, with using it 8GB for me am much, I have my whole MP3's and WMAs on him (approximately 1500, code from 128-320kbps) which am excellent. The sound quality is unbelievable. There are so many different elections, which can be switched on, in order to increase the clay/tone. Additionally the contained sound earbuds, much better than all contained headphones great, which I used at all before. Navigation is firm - I like all palpation keys, in place of the note surfaces, which receive you on ipods. I saw objections over the influence key, which is on the back, but she really does not disturb me. And a little difficult is to receive screen on the player but on the other hand, this is a player MP3. For it exceeds on, which was certain it. It is also a theft - I received my on Amazon in late November for $163. I recommend in high of degrees this jewel to everyone in the market for a lightning-created player. It is a nano murderer.


Great mp3 player
Sony finally has gotten in the mp3 business and it was worth the wait. Best sounding player I've heard. Easy to use software, just drag and drop and listen to the music. I highly recommend this player.


UPDATED: Something to add about transferring media...
IchBIN in agreement with all positive reports. I think that this is a large player. I would like specifically to address means bringing, because I does not alot the mention in the reports see. For music bringing WMP works on 11 ehrfuerchtiges. If the music documents are unprotected, they bring lightning fast (approximately 1 to 1,5 seconds per song). If they are protected, bring they, a little more slower however to have no to trouble plays (I brought some song, which I bought from the whale commercial centre Downloadservice). It copies album art and all change info. of WMP 11 with the documents. For photos I did not think personally that WMP 11 settled a good work, which receives the photos on the player. It copies the documents in the same booklet hierarchy, which is them on your system, which can be a problem, because for photos of the players only one recognizes documents (or two?) Booklets deeply. Also certainly the photos the size again and many thumbnails did not represent above not on the player. For photos recommend me I to downloaden the "Sony central manager for Walkman 1,1" from the web site to. It functions large and everything your photos to the player in the correct format, with thumbnails is copied. Sony central manager works on also large for the copy of the music to the player, there but I like WMP 11 for music since my whole playlists, etc. better use am. I have already successfully to arrive any my (of old) videos at play on the player. Into her are mostly mpg and I can not out, like one her converts (or which represent format, to to convert they [ mp4 in the manual says ]). I did not try very strongly, because I am not interested in videos on my Walkman. It kind kool would be, to out, as one converts to explain my old videos correctly, therefore it would work. UPDATE: I bought Walkman the PRO VERSION of the central manager for 1,1 on-line for $12.95 and ALL my videos on Walkman was perfectly converted and brought. It is you with the converting of the different video formats intelligent already is and transformation software has, recommends I an ascending.


NOT A VIDEO PLAYER!!!
I received this for Christmas. I did a quantity buying and her seemed like the perfect thing, which was based on my necessities (I had a quantity of MP3s and WMAs on my computer). How an added premium, which maintains it, it is a video player and does not happen. Precede and to try you to set a screen on this thing (and in the detail to explain, like you did it). I tried to convert documents into MPEG4 from AVI


Amazing bass and price and quality. Better than ipods
Surprising Absolutly received I straight this at the Weihnachtstag. I was really surprised, he had compared how many functions with the Ipod. After they saw this and to have heard, ipods the Troedel is, it is you alot the memory to wish. Differently than these this thing has alot more technology, but I think that the youve point received after, which says it on the top side. Well comes it with the 80-dollar headphones, if you didnt know and the bass and the quality straight are amazing. Its unatural a feeling, if you think that your complete head shakes, but its not. Another thing its nice really nice shining not scratchable as ipods. Also it lets amazing battery last 33 hour and its applicable it me to 2 weeks, without loading it. Its Basiclly receive this, when ipod it is you money and they do not become received not also clung like them becuase of the fast prossesor, which they have. I recommend me in high of degrees.


Great Flash Player
I have had my new Sony NWZ-A818 for three weeks now and so
far I am pretty impressed. I had a Samsung YP-T9 4 gig, so
as far as I was concerned the Sony had some big shoes to fill.

For starters, the build quality. It really is a step above all
the competition. It is all metal, cool to the touch, and weighty
for such a small device. The screen is very detailed.
If you watch the included Spider Man 3 demo, you'll know
what I mean.

The sound quality really is special. I'm hearing songs properly
for the first time. There are lots of tweaks for EQ, including
two custom settings.

Caveats are few. There is no FM tuner(I don't care). The sound
doesn't get quite as loud as I would like on some songs, and the battery life is not approaching the 33-35 hours CNET got(probably because I have it maxed out constantly). Oh, and I am having
problems getting used to the cord hanging next to my neck, where it sticks sometimes while working out(probably a personal issue).

All in all, this is a nice improvement on the Samsung. I am very pleased.



It's Crazy good!!
The title says it all. Sony has always made great portable audio, with their full rich sound Sig. Now you can have your cake and eat it too, no more sonic stage!! Really, just like the other fine folks, I have owned many daps- cowon, samsung, apple, zune, iriver, creative, rio, meizu, toshiba, kenwood ect. ect. I just have to say this little unit is the best at reproducing full , detailed rich sound. It is incredible with shure e500's, the warmth and soundstage is second to none. The unit is easy to use, the screen is top notch, and the unit is dead sexy and built like a high-end piece of kit.

I also echo the awesome battery performance, and don't let the 5mw output fool you, this baby has enough power to drive some full size cans. I'm a musician too and are super picky about my audio, and I can't stress how good this little unit sounds. I actually had the japanese model "nw a808", but sold it to get the non sonic stage model. The Japanese unit had some extra settings like "on the go" playlisting and a "favorite" shuffle setting plus some other extras. I hope sony adds these to the a818 in a future firmware release.

Even on Head-Fi people are praising it's sound and that says alot, you have some hardcore users there :) One member said he was going to buy another a818 as back-up because he said he couldn't bear to live without it if he lost or broke his. Bottom line, BUY IT!! and sony please release some higher capacity models.

Just wanted to mention a couple of more things, I really like how the "door" on the usb port is spring loaded and snaps back in place to prevent dust and debris from entering the player- Nice! Also even though I am kind of a purest when it comes to sound enhancements, the ones on the a818 are pretty amazing and don't seem to add distortion or coloration to the audio signal. "DSEE" really seems to boost the highs on low bitrate mp3 files, and smooth them out.

"Clear stereo" also seems to make the seperation of channels more distinct, resulting in a wider soundstage, very subtle indeed, but nice. "Clear bass" does a fantastic job of boosting the very low end while bringing in no distortion to the bass, resulting in "feeling the low end " but also keeping a the detail. A fender jazz sounds like it should, and a rickenbacker sounds just like it should:) None of that mushyness you used to get with the old "mega bass"


Since I use high bitrate files, I don't use the dsee, but I do use the clear stereo and clear bass quite a bit. The 5 band eq is competent and more than you get on a zune or ipod :) I must say though even without eq you get the full range of the audio spectrum. There is no bass roll-off as there is in other players- ipod, cough cough. So you get a much fuller and "blended" sound not tinny or harsh.


There are many mediocre daps out there, thats why I think when a gem like this comes around so many people want to share their experiance (with some very detailed reviews!) with others. Music is a magical thing and it's great to have something so small, yet awesome to play it on.


One last thing, sony makes premium stuff usually with premium prices. The a818 is priced less than the inferior zune flash or ipod nano. If you take your music seriously or you just love awesome gadgets, then a purchase of the sony nw a818 is mandatory!!! peace out!


Very Pleased.
I really like this product. The other reviews are correct. The sound is amazing. I had an IPOD for 3 years. That was fine but I wanted to try another type of MP3 player. I don't use the earphones it came with because I had Sony earphones that I love. I find 8GB is more than enough for me. I listen to the same stuff over and over. :) And I am happy with the size. I can fit it in my pockets just fine or a tiny purse. I bought the clear case cause I have butterfingers. But the MP3 player seemed sturdy enough without it. But I don't want to take that chance. :) Actually, I am using it right now. It is extremely easy to use. I just drop my mp3s and go on my way. Since I had the Ipod, I had a wall adapter. I switch the IPod cord with the Sony cord plugged the USB end into the adapter. And there you go. Wall charger!!! The battery life is great. If I am running low, it could take an hour or so to fully charge using the wall adapter. I haven't used my computer to do a complete charge. It is great for my needs. Great sound, good size, its not too heavy with the clear case. Life is good. :)


Bull's Eye - finally - Sony's drag and drop - best sound quality MP3 player
Having owned many MP3 players of all makes and sizes - for many years - I have finally found something that tops the charts. The screen is beautiful, easy to read, easy to load music (no software required), great battery life, and most importantly - amazing audio quality. No playlists on the fly but I can live with that - given it is so easy to navigate. Kudos to Sony.


Astounding!
Absolutely love it! I got a 2GB White one in September.
I got it in Sonystyle store before it became available in other stores. I was disappointed by the design when I first looked at the pictures online. However, once I got to see the real product, I bought it right away. The design is way better than iPod in my opinion. I've had iPod, but I was so disappointed by the quality and battery life. I've been a loyal Sony fan, and never had any problem with all Sony electronic products that I have.

This time, the new Sony MP3 has not disappoint me at all, the price is reasonable, design is great, battery life is just unbeatable. The only problem is that its software (now it uses WMP 11) is still too far to catch up with great software iTune. However, since it allows you to just drag and drop files into the device as a hardware shown on "my computer", we don't really have to bother using software at all, which solves the problem with awkward software. The screen may be a little too small, but the video quality is absolute great!

Also, I am pleased with Sony. In fact, I got this player before its official release to electronic stores, and the price was $20 higher. Once this is officially sold on every electronic outlets, Sony immediately refund $20 to my credit card account. If I did not see the refund, I probably won't even notice the price change.

Even though iPod is going strong, I still believe in Sony, and wish they can come up with more innovative functions, stunning designs and superb quality!

Definitely recommend this to everyone!


Sony Finally Hits a Homerun!!
I betaeubt on, as large this player is... On my search to find to few crappy the player mp3 I regarded a Zune 8g (small screen with strong black edge wtf??, bad battery, zune software), up and ZEN(plastic ky limiting Meizu (bad the USA CS, the QC expenditures, stotternd feels problem), to Buggy, unstable microprogram list), Clix2(expensive, D-clicking expenditures) Sansa opinion (large, ugly, kaesiges GUI), in order to call some and all had agreement, the disturbances break. This player is as near on, so perfect you (received CNET publisher auserlesener price) away, this player at present first also received can, who is as I, much smaller and thinner, expected; think a something more broader 2. TOWARDS nano with a gigantic screen. First I thought that the players geschauen busily and old sketch, but this like that is not, as soon as you see it in the person. The illustrations really do not do it to justice BTW, which I have the silver version and it is super+delightful. PER: Metal box, very strong and establishes well. Microprogram list is very steady, of, which I up to now experienced (I do not have to hope and pray that the manufacturer repairs my player stability expenditures with microprogram list updates Ala the ZEN), am amazing the clay/tone, the tons of the clay/tone characteristics and customizable eq (VPT, DSEE, establishes EQ in the dynamic Normalisierer, in the free Raumstereo) processing in my accumulation like never before now estimating. Screen is sharp and smooth. The battery life is excellent, has I a formal test, but its taxable not at nearly double done of, what offers to everyone otherwise. To steer simply, very intuitively. GUI is clean and chic. Drag and show you everything into it with window researcher, syncs with WMP 11, excluded vids (mp4) those the WMP doesnt... not disturbance Sonys, possibly in somewhat wrong doing not fall. to (in the tendency to try Sonys in order to already be released central manager for Walkman, established with the Podcasting includes), remembers last position of, whatever watching/listening, between vids and music even can switch it, without your place to lose (no Bookmarks) are the headphones really unusually. Look for your accumulation by artists, album or song with the alphabet (frighten) song info. continuously, which is indicated to screen down by the screen all the same which the youre, that regarded. Side, announcements song, album art, artists, Albumgenren and year now play. They can preselect any one of these, in order to regard all to song in this category. If booklet in the player can graze (however deletion to tilt or rename), which feels players in your hand large, comfortably and simply to use the keys which ausgebritten well become, volume on the side, although it believes the back key, of been should instead of the choice. MATERIAL CONS: No FM, no language recording plant, memory not expandable. Schlurfenwahlen are limited: schlurfen only all


FANTASTIC mp3 player.....
OK.... let me start out by saying that I am an active musician. I have been playing the guitar for 7+ years and I am currently involved in recording my own music professionally. I really appreciate excellent sound quality when it comes to digital music recordings..... and OH MY does this SONY WALKMAN sound fantastic. It is with out a doubt the best sounding mp3 player I have ever heard. When I listen to music at home I use my studio recording headphones by Beyerdynamic-- they cost me 200 dollars at guitar center. The included earbuds are the best sounding buds ever paired with an mp3 player in their box. SONY WINS.

Pros:
Excellent sound quality
Great UI
Fantastic earbuds
Strong physical build quality---- metal, glass screen
MTP device (no itunes or stupid software to transfer files)
I have only had this for 1 day, but have been using for at least 10 hours--the battery life is excellent--- rated at 33 hours continuous music

Cons:
No on the fly playlist creating
Proprietary usb cable
Can't change the background to a picture of your own


The PROS of the SONY WALKMAN greatly out weigh the cons, those of which are not a huge issue. I have purchased and returned 2 mp3 players before I settled on this SONY. I bought a Zune 8 gb, had problems with my computer with the ****** Zune sofeware. Returned it. Then I bought a Samsung YP-2P. The Samsung was an excellent mp3, good sound quality and the touch interface was awesome. However, I could not find a protective case for it anyware online or instore as it is fairly new. Also, it was quite expensie for only 4gb at 200 dollars. Returned it. Read some reviews on C-net about this sony walkman... and what do you know--- it won a c-net editor's choice award. So I bought it from Amazon with 2-day shipping and Amazon was so awesome I received it the next day! How cool is that? Get the Sony Walkman, you won't be disappointed



great player
I looked for a player MP3, which is enough good to hear classical music on and this fills the calculation. Desire had it 16G, but I can live with 8. It sounds large, has an intuitive user interface, seems established firmly and has good battery life. Those videorehearses looked sharply, although I do not plan to use her for screen. I regarded or other Cowan the players for am enough time - however it is kind nice of being to of buying from a company to which really carries user support out.


Not Compatible with Rhapsody To Go
I bought recently this player on the strength of the glowing reports, which I read and with something wishful thinking, which finally removes Sony its own delimitations had. It IS a good player, but I discovered that it would not function with Rhapsody, in order to go. confirmed Sony and Rhapsody this. Before you buy examine you that it functions to subscription with the service, which it flat to use with it. I bring mean against-striving Walkman to Amazon back.


This Walkman Simply ROCKS!
WOWS. This player seizes simply wells of the music superbly and fair ROCK!! on! Before I received this player, I was in the process original, everyone iPod the note or the Samsung YP-P2 to receive from my dying iPod 4G and from insufficient 1G 1GB nano to. The note interfaces it is quite cool, but finally thought that they were finally a trick and supplied also no palpation controls. Plus, excellent sound quality is an upper priority for me and cost then. Before I formed, my understanding is, to for the YP-P2 for him to rise over average sound quality against the note on Amazon, came I over the Sony Walkman NWZ-A818, which is the choice of a CNET of publisher for it excellent sound quality and bundle of characteristics won. After report measured value of the CNET's I became a member of the AtracLife forums and read nearly all reports for this player. Sony always educated quality players with great sound quality, but the software package always damaged the entire user experience and package. However I experienced that this Sony, which does not support NWZ-A818, any more that notoriously horrid SonicStage and therefore the ATRAC format. Rather the player support counter acting force


Fantastic MP3/Video Player
Sorry Amazon i orederd directly from SonyStyle to get the Silver.First Impressions out of the box. Very stylish and sleek. Easy to use...I turned it on plugged it into my USB port and synced with Rhapsody to go. The sound quality will blow you away. I have/had the Sansa View, E280, and ipod Nano. Playing music through this just feels solid. The ear buds are very nice. This is my first experience with Sony ear buds and was a little confused at first with length of the cord for the left ear bud being shorter than the right. One call to Sony tech support and problem solved. Tech support was very friendly and prompt and even followed up with an email pertaining to my problem. I would definitely reccomend this to everyone.



hot tunes!
Thus I will not make an technical-intensive report available of this player, BUT I would like to divide that I straight mean players in the post office today received and I with my purchase decision thrilled. The player sounds, which is userface more uber fantastisch, intuitive is and friendly organized that, is counter acting force and drop data communication thee bomb!, and the player is educated firmly -- it views and feels large. And I bought also the hard, free box for him, which I found first, in order to be pricey with $27.99 at my local SonyStyle of memory, but I am now lucky with him very. It is perfect for my runs. I bought this player with the priority of enjoying my music; the video function is definitely for me secondly, and a FM tuner and an audio recorder, which were I not substantially decided. I am ekstatisch with my allotters.


Buy This Product - No, I'm Not A Corporate Shill
Sony ran FINALLY its terrible propietary SonicStage interface. FINALLY. Those is the first observation everyone, which is familiar with their older players, forms. I had wished long Sony quality, but was averse to crunch and the horrende software Sony use my teeth subordinated mandate. The complete tactics smacked of Microsoft. The fact that, I is thus gone to software bought this immediately without hesitating. This player is MTP, you importantly attaches you it, appears it like a non removable disk drive assembly, drags you and lets documents fall. It supports all usual Playbackwahlen and sorts by kindist, etc., but, lets also you and play through FOLDER sort, regard. This simple however characteristic useful in high of degrees is not on Sansa, the creative, etc.. Players available. I insert my audio books into a booklet, confer other one, music other one and have subfolders for kind being/album. On most other players jumpled it, which receive all, into a heap, and if the changes ID3 are not perfect (frequently the case with downloadeter music), have you a confusion on your hands, no matter how perfectly the interface. Able, to the booklet opinion into certain situations to switch is a VERY MUCH useful characteristic, which I neglect of many manufacturers are thus surprised. Everything otherwise is which you came to expect from Sony to particularly: Breath-robbing sound quality. I cannot exaggerate this point. I heard to 2-Pac, Enya, Louis Armstrong, Sinatra, Britney Spears. songs, which sounds a little flat on other players, have the life on this. Bass resounds for Tupac, Enyas high notes swing really, you can the Horne in Louis hear also. I do not have an ear that audiophiles and was very much surprised that I considered such per finds a difference concerning the clay/tone. I possessed creative, Sansa and some other players (no I case, because I do not permit, is not correct off as Sonic). This player has FAR


Pleasantly Surprised!
I received my Sony Walkman NWZA818BLK, 8 gig MP3 player and I couldn't be happier! I love it! It looks much better in person, I think, than what you see online. It is sleek, smooth, shiny and very cool. It is something you won't be embarrassed for others to see. Actually, you will probably want to show this one off! If Fonzie, or the Fonz, was transported to our time, he would definitely have this MP3 player. It is made of metal with a silvery high polish and complimented with black. It is the "Harley" of MP3 players!

I have had all sorts of MP3 players through the years, everything from A-pple to Z-en. I didn't buy a Zune though, as I thought it looked cheap. My friend has one and I borrowed it. Glad I did, because it just doesn't look great and I don't think it looks well made. This one looks like it will last. Sony must have decided to come back to the market and bring back a simple to use, well made construction player with EXCELLENT sound! The sound is about as perfect as you can get for a MP3 player. You can customize it with many choices. For example, there is a function for Clear Sound using a cord, an extention cord too. Playback can be in all ranges or selected. The Equalizer has None, Heavy, Pop, Jazz, Unique or you can customize it. There is VPT Surround Sound of None, Studio, Live, Club, Arena, Matrix or Karaoke. DSEE Sound Enhance can be on or off. Clear Studio and also Dynamic Normalizer can be on or off. There is also an AVLS Volume limit you can turn on to protect your hearing, if you want it. There is a Time and Date Screensaver to pop on every so many seconds that is nice. You can also decide when the screensaver kicks in such as 15 sec. 30 sec. or 60 sec. The battery life is wonderful. Look for many hours of fun.

I also bought the Sony Docking Cradle. I got it at the Sony website for around 50-60 bucks. It looks fantastic with the Walkman. It is also shiny high polished silvery steel with black. You can record to your Walkman, play to your stereo or speakers, transfer data to and from your computer and of course the nicest feature of all, you can charge it up without the computer. You do get a USB cable with your Walkman for transfer of music and to charge it via your computer.

The headphones are sleek, super cool looking and there are three ear piece sizes to customize your earpieces to your ears and they sound wonderful. I also tried the Walkman with my Koss and other Sony headphones and they work equally well. Sometimes I like the larger headphones to have the music surround me with sound, but these earphones supplied work very well indeed!

I tinkered around with my music settings and for me, I love the Live VPT sound. It sounds like they are right there in the room with you! I like the Heavy for the Equalizer. I thought Pop sounded a little off, to me, but that may be because my music is more geared toward Bass and more heavy sounds. The Dynamic Normalizer really works great for me with it on. I notice a big difference. Clear Sound on also made my music more crisp.

The pictures look great on here. The menus are simple and easy to move around. One of the best features is the very simple drag and drop via Windows Explorer. I tried the Windows Music Player you can download with the supplied software and used the Sync function, but it was WAY too time consuming for me and I have a Duo Core Intel Pentium, so not exactly a slow computer. The Windows Explorer was quick and easy. I made sure I have my file folders put into each music group. Like Pop, Rock, Oldies, Latin, Classic, Jazz, etc. Then I just drop those into the Walkman and Voila! I use the Music Library Folder and it takes me to my folders and I can just go to and hear whatever I am craving.

Also it has a nice search function. There is the video function I haven't used since I filled my Walkman with all music! There are shuffle functions, playlist function for dropping playlists into as well. All functions are quick and easy. Note: You can also use an online CDDB or some database to sync your MP3s to update genres and all that, so you can go right to each category. The folders alone work well for me and don't take hours to do. It can play a lot of different files such as WMA, WAV, MP3 among others. It can even play AAC, MP4, if they are not copy protected. I wish Windows and Apple would get together and allow ALL music to play on ALL players, but still, this player plays more types than many others.

Pros:
Simple to use; sleek and cool looking; well made, metal looks great with the black; excellent sound; easy to use menus and transfers; nice clear pictures; bright, crisp window; excellent battery life and the Fonz would approve! I have had many players and by far this one is the best sounding player I have ever had and one of the easiest to use.

Cons:
I wish it had a few more gigs, like 10 or 16 gigs. Still I have more then 2,000 songs on there, so that is a lot! There isn't a carrying strap included, so you need to factor that into the price of buying one, I think one should be supplied. I wasn't impressed with Windows Media Player's sync function. But you don't have to download Windows Media Player at all, which I like that option. Windows Explorer is just easier and quicker. The earphones, as great sounding as they are, should have just one longer cord instead of two sections you connect together and should be longer, but it is adequate. I use other earphones on this player too and they work equally well.

I am SO glad I purchased this one. Thanks Amazon!!

UPDATE:
I have had this Sony player for about a three weeks now and just have to add that it works great! I have not had any problems with it. I got Rhapsody To Go on it without any problems, despite someone commenting that you couldn't use Rhapsody with this player, but it works great on it.

The only thing I wish is that it had a 16 gig since I have to take off music and put music on, because I have too many music files. I have to decide which to put on and to take off, but I do not regret buying this one at all. The sound is excellent and I have already had several people comment in public about how nice a player it looks and my friend with the Zune has begged to trade with me. NO WAY! He updated his Zune and now it won't play due to the sorry software on it. Anyway, Sony did it right with this player!


A true IPod Killer
I have all reports....I received straight to this unit.....out the box of impacts of this thing away the new IPod nano read, am IPod classical author and Iriver IF799 to possess I....those above for sales....this am certainly the best, or near at the best sounding player on the market today... Vacation it could receive to Sony to, that right.....lets face it....ease of the sound use... large, large controls, characteristics to numerous, to... from von.you to mention the whole remainder... receives best....sorry me tried now... me to resist did not have to say that it is not disappointed.....you....


This player rocks
I love my Sansa but this player is even better. Amazing sound, well worth the $$.


Excellent
This is the best player, whom I had at all and I think that it is better than Ipod


The best sounding MP3 player currently on the market
I am an owner of an 80 gig Apple ipod, the Sony NW-HD5 and the Creative Zen 30 Gig "M" player. When it comes to sound, the Apple ipod surely comes in last, and while the other two have great sound quality (especially the NW-HD5), the Sony NWZA818 REALLY blows the others out of the water (so much so, I was somewhat taken aback).

There are so many EQ adjustments on this player, it's silly. The hardware and software design is great, it feels solid in spite of it's size, the buttons are well-placed and it is simplicity itself to load and delete music. It's also got a fast processor, a vivid, colorful (albeit SMALL) screen to watch videos and wonderful battery life.

GOODBYE SONICSTAGE, and good riddance! At last, Sony has done away with the notoriously buggy software that it previously used for managing its portable devices. Now users have the choice of using either the "drag and drop" method or Windows Media Player to manage their music files, thanks to Microsoft's "Play For Sure" compatibility.

The included headphones are outstanding in both build and sound quality; as some have taken note, the going price for Sony's MDR-EX082 Headphones is around $50. What this means is that most people will be quite satisfied with the sound right out of the box, with no need to buy a decent pair of headphones to supplement the player (a rarity indeed amongst MP3/MP4 portable players).

In fact, while there are some negatives (the unnecessarily proprietary USB charger, no removable battery slot, no SD card slot, relatively small hard drive capacity, no FM radio, no recording capability), they are not enough in any way to negate this player's awesome positives... particularly the Sony NWZA818's truly exceptional sound.

If you're an audiophile like me, this is simply a must have.


Sony finally got it right
I've had this device for 4 days now, and I'm very happy with it.

Audio:
The sound quality is outstanding. I was able to compare it side-by-side with an a new ipod nano using the same headphones. The ipod sounded decent, but it had muddy bass. In my opinion Sony sounded more accurate.

Size:
It's about the same volume as a new ipod nano and fits conveniently almost anywere I need it. No complaints here.

Display/Interface:
Beautiful display that runs silky smooth. Movies look great although it's a little small for extended periods of viewing. It can strain my eyes if I look at it too long, but it's still perfect for catching my favorite shows on the airplane.

Software:
This is my favorite part. It supports drag-and-drop so I don't have to use any retarded software *cough* zune/itunes *cough* just to transfer content. BTW I don't own, nor will I ever own, any DRM music. If you own DRM music, then I think you still need to use a 3rd party music manager. I tried transfering music in Windows XP and Linux (gentoo), and it worked fine except for one small problem. Sometimes when I try to transfer a really large set of files in Windows XP, the transfer will hang indefinetely. It doesn't seem to be a problem with Linux, and I suspect it might have something to do with MTP. Anyways it's not a big deal because I usually do small incremental updates to the device.

Conclusion:
Good job Sony. I really like this device.


Superb sound quality in a nice small package
I was looking for an mp3 player to replace the iPod shuffle that was a gift. I like the shuffle. It has nice sound quality but the UI - if there's any - is just not good for use in a car. I narrowed my choices down to nano, classic, and this walkman. Evetually, I decided to get this sony because I am not a big fan of iTunes and this new walkman finally gets rid of SonicStage so I can play wma and drag-&-drop files into it. Besides, I read that the sound quality is pretty good from various users' reviews.

However, I wasn't expecting sound quality this good. It's at a totally different level from iPod.

The first thing I notice is that the walkman produces an amazing level of details. No matter how complex the song is composed of, the player never falls into ambiguity and always handle it with an authoritative feel. In addition to the resolution, the walkman reproduce songs with a sense of dimension that expands not only in breadth but also in depth. I find that the walkman especially good at handling vocals. I can easily visualize the singer singning in front of me, to the level that I can feel how he/she uses his/her mouth... IMHO, I think this mp3 player would sound better than usual portable CD players, let alone mp3 players....

However, it's not all-conquering. I find the player in its default setting not so remarkable at classical music. The player handles Sonata well. However, the sound can feel a bit artificial and has a processed feel, a bit like DG's 4D effect. It doesn't seem to suit larger pieces, like Symphony or Concerto, well. I find the response a bit slow and the sound lacking power. It's a bit disappointing because usually a setup with high details and clear dimension should be good for classical... I also try it with iPod's earpieces (which sounds brighter and lighter.) Unfortunately, the music still doesn't sound that attractive. I eventually dig into EQ and bump up treble. It sounds more favorable, but still not as wonderful as when playing pop music.

Talking about EQ, I don't know why the range of adjustment is only +/- 3. I find that a bit limiting. There are a lot of "gimmick" sound enhancing modes in this player. I don't care about surround effect. Sony's implementation is decent but still induces broken sound sometimes. DSSE really works. It's a bit like a tuned-down BBE. I can do without it just fine. ClearStereo is less obvious... it seems to me for DSSE it works better on files with average bit-rate (like something in the 100-200 range), but for ClearStereo it works better on high-bitrate (200+) files. The effect is minimal and again I can do without it just fine. I like these two options this way because they are flavors that would not spoil the good base sound that the walkman can produce. The last one is the ClearBass. Well, it simply works. This kind of bass enhancement always work so there's not much to talk about. One thing to note is at its default setting with the supplied earphones, I find it not necessary to turn on ClearBass for pop music. It is more useful to boost classical.

Sony almost always have good UI and the one on this unit follows the norm, though it can be better. For example, Sony should learn from Sony Ericsson and enable the ability to go into/out of options by pressing right/left button. I find that having to move your thumb away from the 5-way controller to reach the "BACK" button can be slightly annoying at times. I am being critical, though.

Overall, this walkman is definitely worth considering. It has no extra functions but it does what it is supposed to do exceptionally well. I don't want to give out five stars but there's little to find fault with. It might sound like sony paid me to say this, but after listening to this mp3 player, I can't help wondering how much is left quality-wise in mp3 playback... for this fact alone, I gave it four stars. Plus good UI, long playback, and solid build quality, it has to be a five-star recommendation. Unless you are into buying accessories, you can't go wrong with this model.

[ Update#2 ]

I played with the walkman more and felt that ClearBass affects the sound quality, in addition to bass level.

I decided to update my previous update.... in the previous one I said ClearBass +3 suits Anne-Sophie Mutter's Tschaikovsky Violin Concerto very well. However, I later found out that ClearBass colors the sound differently depending on the setting. Which one works best depends on the music and one's preference. For example, I listened to Beethvon's Piano Concerto and felt +1 was better because the sound was more expansive. However, in the wrong cases, that could turn into excessive echo. The differences are not huge, though.

So my conclusion is none of the settings affects the sound quality negatively; they are just different in flavors. Try them with the music and pick the one that sounds better.

I think I am too much into review mode and that spoils the pleasure I have listening to the walkman. So I'll stop here. Thank you for reading this long review hope it helps.

[ Update#3 ]
I like the player a lot so I have uploaded some pictures I took in the gallery. Hope they are persuasive enough to make you click the shopping cart button.... cheers


Amazing Player!
I just bought this player. I've had a ton of players over the years and was in the market for a new one after my Creative Zen tanked. I've been really happy with Creative products but when I heard Sony had opened up their players to WMA I had to check it out. All I can say is that the sound quality on this player has to be heard to be believed. It makes EVERYTHING sound amazing!

The player is super small, looks very cool, is very intuitive and has amazing battery life. It would be nice to have 16GB like the new Creative Zen's coming out, but it's not a big deal (the new Creative Zen 4 & 8GB'ers are getting hammered on product quality, so I'm sure their 16GB model will be the same).

The only drawback is that I haven't found an easy way to transfer video files to it. It's not approved for Amazon's Unbox and I haven't found any other online outlet that will let you just drag and drop videos onto it. Any suggestions short of having to use conversion tools would be appreicated.

Overall an amazing player!!!!


keoj
In order to begin with, this is a small "nano" sorted player. Easily fits into the smallest bags. This was a little from the surprise, if you regard the illustrations. Obviously I bought this, without this to have seen in the person. The player came along straight unites individual parts (earbuds, small extension cord, USB cable). I wish that there was a way, which players without to be to load teathered for a USB gate, but I had not examined the accessory equipment, in order to see, what is present. Now the really good part... I was enterprising, without reading the manual in approximately 5 minutes. This player is very unbelievably intuitive and to use very simply. It is characterized quite full on the music player and the sound quality is outstanding. The hook up to Windows was faultless and the transmission and synch was simple. I code my MP3's on that highest quality level and the resulting sound quality, which I left a player, was excellent. Entire and excellent experience. I do not have around with the screen played, nevertheless however the trailers, which became to provide with the player, was really from the excellent quality and from the dissolution. Sony should be (we to see.....it's a pushed area), a material fighter in this area with these new products. Large job Sony! Update after one month: O.k., I liked really this MP3, when I bought and began it to use it. After one month I REAL, REAL like this player. No exterior material, noises, no tricks, does not do it straight, which player MP3 do should: 1) play music well. The sound quality on this player is unusual. The enclosed ear buds are very nice and sound large. 2) to high-load simply. It fair work with WMP. Which I can do, say... gewesenes.it's to rock body. 3) simply.....the UI is correct to steer straight. I transfer this to the peoples and in approximately 5 seconds, her it out represented. The functions are simple to understand and accomplish. Things become correctly ausgebritten. For any reason I do not receive album art, but this is much, much minor.It's small.....the more, which I use it, better likes I it is size. It seems like it very well is established, feels very firm for something, which is small (IE is not it chinzy). 4) if it lasts and longs itself, long time. The battery on this is rather good. Things, which I did not try: 1) is to be had no films nevertheless however this a player MP3 to me, who happens, a large screen for navigation. Films are fair A plus. Sony knocked it from the park with this player out


Best MP3 Player Ever
This MP3 player is the best I have had so far. I have had 3 iPods and a Zune, and they can not be compared to the amazing sound delivered by this new Sony MP3 player. For those wanting a flash based player, this item is one of the smallest and more portable out there with an extremely bright and clear LCD display which allows for viewing videos on the go. To make it even better, Sony did not go cheap, the player features a nice durable and well designed metal body, thats a bit taller than the new Nano Videos, not as wide and thick though. Sony also includes a set of great ear buds, which are a lot better than those packed with any other player out there.
I was tempted to go with the other Sony MP3 player,which has an FM tuner built in and is a bit smaller, but after comparing them, I think I rather have the one with the metal body, better sound and .2" bigger LCD. Those of you that buy either of the new Sony's will be amazed by the performance of this well built device, and will love it a whole lot more than any other device that has been introduced into the market.
I got the Nano Video a few weeks ago, that went on eBay already. Compared to an iPod and iTunes, Sony has a nice user interface thats nicer than Apple's, you'll have no scroll wheel to deal with, you get better audio quality, a brighter LCD, and in my opinion a much nicer design. You can use Windows Media, but I highly recommend using Napster (which comes with the player). Napster is really close to the iTunes interface and will allow you to purchase albums and songs you like or you can pay $15 a month for unlimited downloads. Those of you buying this MP3 player over the others on the market as of now will be making a great choice and will absolutely love this machine.


Absolutely Perfect Player !!!
I do not compare it even with any other player mp3, since this is independent a category. Forwards I received straight it 4 hour from sonystyle business and from in the morning, which played now with this for a pair of hours. I had tons of players mp3 past inside. Really I have 3 ipods this time (shuffle(1GB), nano(8GB) and ipod (20GB) and excluded schlurfen other 2 for to the sales will today go. Personally I can say 100% in the confidence that ipods sound quality at the rock lower surface is. Schlurfen 1. TOWARDS is well. Be called over this player, sound quality are good now over comparison to believe (it necessity to hear it over) outside. Player is in the size as GENE 2 ipod nano smaller and is all brushed metal body, therefore no probability of scratching the screen with more than colors 260k is absolutely wonderful and vibrant. Player is not accomodating extemely and it gives a convict in everything. Counter acting force and drop is the best, you for it to please can play mp3 and wma documents without expenditures. Connection gate also with inbuilt cover covered, automatically once usb the cables separately engages itself supplied headphones is of the extremely high quality (not as good as my shure e2c). Entirely I am absolutely convinced that Sony is the only company, which can reproduce excellent sound quality. Also this player seems to need no kind containment since it is really durable. I update once am use this over the weekend. Okey is the update here!!! I used this player for one week now and am ichBIN extemely with the achievement contently, clay/tone the best, which I heard at all of a player mp3 and there are lots useful sound attitudes... I has a quantity video song on the player brought, by converting her into AVC format with nero 7 and playes with absolutely amazing details and I did not say it there early "a convict", who is player very accomodating (I think that Sony used any very fast processor inside there). Headphone, which is well and very very comfortable Sony, which is together-rolled with player, extemely. I converted some films into play on this player with nero 7 into AVC format and individual 2 hour a film am MT approximately 500 (at the highest attitudes) that large am, as I can have approximately 4 films additionally to approximately 6 concerts music on the player. I have some photos gehochladen, which I made for comparisons of this player with different ipod models, which could be useful for possible customers. Important update: On some other Rezensentanmerkungen and a pair of email, which I received it, it seems based that some users trouble have to play and/or videos bringing on the player. Thus in favor of everyone I would try to explain the process. For playing of videos there are 3 important aspects 1. This player can only play videos in the format MP4 (Sonys video format "of the memory stick") 2 multiplicity the MPEG4 and AVC has. Maximum bit rate for supported MPEG4 is 2,5 MBPS and for AVC 750 KBPS. 2. The player can only play screen with maximum video size of 320x240, everything, which is larger, than this size is not played. 3. Videos must be copied in the video booklet on players. I find Nero to be 2 to rekodieren (ultra enclosed with NERO 7) around an ideal switch for converting videos in format MP4 while elections for manipulating video size and audio-frequency spectrum also extract it and parts of videos give. I use the following attitudes for the video transformation AVC format (mobile) with video size 320x240 and 500 KBPS bit rate and I use very high audio attitudes (audio low players hold). I hope these information assistance users. Feeling freely to look for to the more assistance.


Elite
Absolutly amazing. Sony has really risen above the competition with this consumer-friendly, easy to use device. Head and shoulders above Sony's previous devices and solidly built.

You will be delighted by ease of use and superious sound quality.


Excellent Sound Quality & Beautiful Design
Now that Sony has removed its proprietary handcuffs (Sonicstage and ATRAC), this player really shines in all respects. Plug and play with Windows Media Player 11 - works great. Or drag and drop. The design and build quality rivals and I think maybe exceeds Apple iPod. It's solid, feels good in the hand, but easily slips into a pocket (it is very tiny!). Sony can definitely design a world class product, nice touches abound: the small dimples on the play button and volume + button are nice for blind use. The speed at which this player boots, resumes and navigates through interface is great.

Other big pluses: sound quality, screen quality (if small at 2"), the ability to support H.264 for video podcast compatibility (very handy), album art throughout interface, battery life, EQ customization

Some negatives: proprietary USB cable, no podcast software from Sony (I use iTunes to download, and then manually drag over to the player).

Highly recommended.


very good mp3



Best sounding MP3 available
This tiny mp3 player is probably the best sounding mp3 player available. The sound is so much better than any ipod. I completly disagree with Wes. This player is definetely better than the previous Sony HD5. The sound is better, it is much smaller, its much faster, its easier to use and search. You can also watch videos and movies. The only dissadvantage is the smaller capacity. I ended up buying the NW-A808 which is the same unit except it plays Sony's ATRAC format which I think is great. The A808 was not released in the US.
The headphones that this player comes with are $70 headphones that Sony also sells seperately. They sound fantastic. If Sony actually advertised this item they would sell alot more. If you are deciding between this and the new nano this blows it away.
