5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Product from Sony, 13 Nov 2008
This review is from: Sony Walkman NWZ-S639FB 16GB Drag & Drop MP4 Video Player with FM Tuner - Black (Electronics)
Don't buy an MP3 player until you've considered this little gem from Sony!

Sound quality is better, much better, than on the IPod.

Integration with WMP11 and Windows is good. Apparently it works with iTunes as well for those that use it, but I haven't tried that.

Video transfers easily and looks surprisingly good - colours are rich, picture is sharp and motion is clear.

I was sceptical about the SenseMe feature (the player analyzes the music and categorises into channels such as classical, upbeat, lounge etc). I thought, yeah, right, but was pleasantly surprised at the job it does. There are some odd decisions it makes, but on the whole this is a useful feature. Now I listen to one of the channels depending on what mood I'm in. This is an improvement on shuffle as I am less likely to want to skip over tracks that don't match my mood.


I am delighted with this player.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable., 10 Oct 2008
By Dr. J. D. Mitchell "Jon Mitchell" (Plymouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sony Walkman NWZ-S639FB 16GB Drag & Drop MP4 Video Player with FM Tuner - Black (Electronics)
Put your iPod away, this little gadget is simply unbelievable and a bargain. Here are my thoughts:

It is TINY. Wafer thin, light.. you'll hardly know it is there. But great build quality. It has a slick brushed aluminium case but with a plastic edge to guard against knocks. Well thought out and so practical.

The sound quality is SENSATIONAL and the best I have heard on a player this size. Vastly superior to all Apple's offerings even with the suppplied (surprisingly excellent) earphones and for a cloth ears like me.

It is so easy to use!! Intuitive. Logical. Can you use a mobile phone? Then you can use the features on this within minutes. Forget jog wheels (so early noughties!!) and navigate all your songs and videos with ease.

Video is crystal clear although lets face it, you'll struggle with a movie on a screen this size. However, orientate the video horizontally and start downloading BBC TV programmes from iplayer.

Transferring content fom your computer is childs play with drag and drop using media player 11 (supplied).

Fantastic radio. Great for pictures.

I could go on but then you'd get bored. Suffice to say this is a wonderful little machine which knocks it rivals for six. Buy it, music lover, and stand out from the crowd!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Silver Surfer's amazement, 3 Dec 2008
This review is from: Sony Walkman NWZ-S639FB 16GB Drag & Drop MP4 Video Player with FM Tuner - Black (Electronics)
As a 77 year old surfer who has been through the whole gamut of electric and electronic audio devices, starting off with the old wind-up gramaphone! - modern technology absolutely amazes me! - This is my first advent into these miniature devices, and in my opinion it is worth all the praise in the earlier reviews. Simple me managed to get it connected, transfer all my old (1950s) music from my computer, copy my photo albums, and set up the FM radio with 20 preset stations within a couple of hours of receiving it, that shows how easy it is - Oh yes, it's very hard to believe that such a rich perfectly clear sound can come from such a small delicate looking source.My only slight observation is that for something so small and polished I would have thought a nice cover could be provided. However it is definitely five and a half stars from me.
