Sony Memory Stick Walkman NW-MS7 64 MB

Sony's designers did a great job on the hardware for the NW-MS7 Memory Stick Walkman. I am especially fond of the jog dial that makes the small MP3 player very easy to use. However, Sony's OpenMG software is time-consuming, difficult to use, and wastes storage space on your PC with its file conversions. The beautifully designed rectangular player is similar to Sony's Music Clip. The backlit screen is easy to read, and the jog dial lets you play, pause, and skip tracks with a tap of the thumb. The Memory Stick Walkman comes with a neck strap and headphones with a very short cord for listening on the go. If you'd rather put the player in your pocket, a ...  Read the complete review

Being a computer science student, and something of a geek, it’s only natural that I have a rather large collection of mp3s. I’d been looking at mp3 players for ages and drooling over them, but after spending most of my student loan in the pub I’d resigned myself to not owning one for quite a while.

It?s only in the last two or three years, as more people have had access to faster internet connection, that it has been used as a way of pirating music. The explosion of personal MP3 players has been partly due to the rise of Napster and other such file transfer programmes. No matter what manufacturers claim, they all realise that a very large number of their customers aren?t planning to simply copy their own CDs onto their MP3 player like they?re supposed to. ...  Read the complete review

I bought the Sony Memory Stick Walkman after about 12 months of 'umming' and 'ahhing' over various makes, models and prices of MP3 players. Most of the MP3 players were either dull grey rectangles with a few plastic silver buttons, or very flashy and very expensive. Common features of all MP3 players I came across were that a) they weren't very well designed with the buttons in all the wrong places b) they were built terribly, out of creaky, thin plastics with little hard plastic buttons or were built of machined metal that scratched when it was put down, and again had hard plastic buttons. I then came across the ...  Read the complete review
