I agree with the positive reviews about this walkman but....... I listen to a good deal of spoken word mp3s for self improvement and educational purposes. Often I have to rewind/fast forward to replay a passage and have found that this is far far too slow. Often the tracks I play are over 8 mins long and it takes forever to get to a particular point in the track. On most electronics if you press and hold the fast forward or reverse buttons the speed accelerates the longer you hold the button down. NOT THIS ONE. SLOW SLOW SLOW. Very frustrating!!

I bought this player refurbished directly from Sony Style. I tested it out with songs that came with the mp3. It was good. But when I started to use the "drag and drop" feature, that's when things got bad. It pretty much froze the player in repeating the starting screen with the Sony walkman logo with the saying "Every moment has its music." I preceded in deleting the music I copied and re-updating the firmware to 1.01. It brought back the mp3 the life again. But when I tried copying 1 mp3 this time (instead of a whole album) it froze the mp3 player again. I haven't had this much trouble with any other mp3 players. I'm hoping that this unit I received was a faulty unit. I'll update more when I receive word from Sony Support.

El walkman Sony NWZS545BLK es un producto excelente. Nítido sonido por los audífonos para disfrutar de varias horas de música. Las cornetas externas realmente no las puedo calificar de buenas, creo que son hasta innecesarias debido a lo pobre del sonido. Mención especial requiere el sistema operativo de este aparato. Muy amigable y sencillo, sin ninguna complicación. Es un disco más en el computador, y cuando se ejecuta independientemente del PC igualmente sencillo e intuitivo. Aviso: quienes no tengan computador mejor busquen otro reproductor de música, pues los archivos MP3 solo se borran por medio de la computadora. Igualmente la batería, solo se carga por medio del computador. Muy recomendable este equipo Sony por su sencillez al operarlo, su excelente sonido por los auriculares, nítidas imágenes de la pantalla y larga carga de la batería.

I have been playing with this and it does have good quality and is an overall decent player the only thing that woulda put 4 stars on it if it was hellauv alot louder; The eq is useless it does not increase the sound; the sound quality is above average it's alot like the cowon flat.
The capicity is really 14.5gbs which is not 16gb, I knew about ti but nobody ever says it in there reviews. This player is slim and tiny the screen can scratch so I would recomend a screen cover if that would really bother you. The menu is kinda wierd but easy to get through the now playing screen is cramped though not like it matters but when you try to get outta it it takes more than a couple of press to get back to the menu screen.
I have not really tested the battery life but it does seem if you use the speakers on the player it drains the battery pretty fast so I'd say its useless almost unless you want a group to hear one song then you'll save alot of battery space cause I estimate about 3 hours via speakers, Maybe lol.
there are many sony players that have a bad battery though hopefully I don't have one of these, to really see if you have a bad battery just use the player and see how many days you use it and how many hours you spent listening, cause I've heard you can get up to 20-30hrs thorugh normal music playing, I put mine on britness 2 insted of 3 to see if the battery last for awhile.
Also this player does not have enough to power sennheiser full headphones I think it's mostly geared toward earbuds and normal sized headphones cause I need a fiio e5 amp to get it to a decent level for my sennheiser HD438's.
all in all it's a decent player with a decent overall sound and will do the job you ask which is play music, movies are not so great so don't use it for them, just hope you get one with a good battery.

For about $100 this is a great performer. Intuitive to use - didn't need to read instructions. Solid feel. Clear, if somewhat smallish screen. I can easily watch video on an iPod touch size screen. The Sony screen makes me strain a little. Sound quality through the headphone jack is superb. The built in speakers are what you'd expect from a unit this small. Only suggestions for improvement are 1) make the little stand built in rather than a detachable piece of plastic 2) built in speakers should activate whenever the headphone jack is unoccupied a la iPod 3) the volume switch is hard to press, especially when you have a cover on the player. Overall, though, very happy with purchase.
