Sony NWE394 8GB Black

My iPod shuffle is dying and I wanted a new MP3 player in a similar price range. I thought I found that, but I don't think this mp3 player is worth the money. It feels incredibly cheap, it turns itself on with a light touch - even if the switch is on hold, it's possible to put files on it that it can't play and instead of skipping to the next song, it doesn't play anymore and you have to choose a new song yourself, which is really annoying. Also, it beeps every time you click next, but I'm not yet sure if you can turn that off, and to be honest I don't need to find out either because I'm planning to get my iPod repaired.

Basically, I use my iPod more often, skipping tracks at random times or enthusiastically continuously telling me which track I'm trying to listen to. The fact that I find the latter less annoying than this new mp3 player says it all in my eyes.

A good mp3 player. Convenient to carry due to its small flat size. Looks decent, as I'm used to from Sony. Storage 8 GB more than enough for me. A 3-hour podcast during my daily long walks is already a pleasure to listen to. Listening to music is also very satisfying. I listen to a lot of classical music, that demands a little more, which is fine. By the way, everything is adjustable via the equalizer and/or the Bass option. It is also useful to block the keyboard with a sliding key on the side.
Just transfer and delete MP3s via the explorer.. Goes smoothly!
I have created separate folders and they are listed alphabetically. So look up quickly! Player works well with my Lenovo chromebook.
In short, highly recommended for the price you pay. So a good price/quality ratio. There are more expensive players, but I find this more than adequate.
