Advantages: small, large memory, stylish

Disadvantages: expensive

Before we get started I think I should state that I am praising this item but I do have some criticisms.

I got the Sony NW MS-11 Walkman as a Christmas present at the end of January, a little bit late I must admit but at least I eventually got it. I had been waiting in anticipation for this because it was my dream to be able to carry my music around with me wherever I go.

Music is my life, I can’t go for a day without listening to my mp3 collection. This certainly has been the best piece of technology I have had in a long time. There are many factors, which are so great about it:

SIZE – it is so small and light that you hardly notice it sitting in your pocket as you walk to school, out on the slope and in the skate park.

MEMORY – it comes with a 128mb Magicgate memory card as standard. This will hold roughly 43 tracks of music files of the size 4mb (standard size). It is possible to buy multiple memory cards, which would be interchangeable at a cost.

DESIGN – it has a very stylish modern look about it, which means that it is not an embarrassment to own one.

FUNCTIONALITY – it has no moving parts inside of it and therefore it is skip-free and thus you can enjoy listening to your music without it being interrupted when you are being active.

PRACTICALITY – I think that I have already gone over these points but just to reinforce them: small, light, skip-free and easy to record.

It is very easy to upload the tracks you want onto the Walkman. All that you need to do is to have the software installed onto your computer, plug in the Walkman using the USB cable provided and copy the tracks across using the installed software. It is then possible to rename the tracks using the software on the computer for your own convenience. Then when you are on the move the track names will be displayed on the backlit screen.

You are provided with a plug to charge t
he battery up with. All that it takes is to take the battery out of the Walkman and slot it into the plug and leave it until it is fully charged.

You are given:

Walkman
128mb memory card
Rechargeable battery
Battery charger
Headphones
Protective bag
Key chain
Software
Instruction manual
-All for £300.

Now down to the bad points:

·If you do not take good care of the Walkman it can become damaged very easily. I am very careless and leave it lying around everywhere and I have got a big dent across the front of it.

·It can be a bit of a burden trying to change the play list regularly.

·It seems very expensive for what it is. The price will probably be half of what it is in 6 months.

But overall, the good points far outweigh the bad points and so I highly recommend it.
