I bought this a couple of weeks ago and can’t believe how small and lightweight it is. I am still downloading all my cd’s and it is such an easy and quick process and there is so much space, more than I will need. Very easy to operate and find your music

Gone bad to worse
8GB 18 July 2016 by shadowflare88 (Singapore)
Cons: 1) Display is not as vibrant and clear as the old model 2) Unable to create playlist straight from windows explorer. Have to go through tedious process through windows media player by syncing music. 3) Fewer functions as compared to old model, e.g. no podcast. 4) Feels very plastic and cheap for the price.

Nice and small
8GB 01 December 2019 by JenL (United Kingdom)
I bought this walkman mainly as it has a radio. I found the instructions unclear and felt I had to work the controls out myself. There is a so-called instruction manual but it doesn’t tell you how to work the walkman. Haven’t even tried to load music - need help with that....I did eventually find the radio..

Impossibly complex software - was unable to use
NW-E390 SERIES 23 October 2019 by Skippie (USA)
Bought this to replace Ipod (which broke) - on the basis of Amazon reviews of this product. I have spent hours trying to find a way to download music to it but have failed to either download iTunes to it or to get Amazon music to download to it. Unless you are a computer geek, this is about a frustrating a device as I've come across.

This is just what I was looking for. You press a button and it does what you want it to. No skipping past your menu choice like the touch sensitives players I have tend to do. Excellent memory and battery life. I just love it and would recommend it to anyone. Top marks from me.

Turns itself on too easily

Is too sensitive and turns itself in when in the pocket or bag. This drains the battery

Good item for its small size
8 GB 11 August 2019 by Britton (USA)
I was in the market for a decent mp3 player and I found this one. I can't find much to complain about with this player. Has good sound, standard earphone port, the usual controls and it looks nice. Compared to the old Sony Walkman's of the 1980's and 90's this thing rocks. The battery lasts a long time and the interface is easy to use. It does not feel cheap and flimsy like the generic models I browsed through or owned previously. It's plastic and very light, would be nice if the case was thin metal. It doesn't do video playback and the picture viewing function is neat and all but not really useful as the screen is to small to really see the details of the pictures. Fixing the album art and song data is proving to be difficult. My songs show on the PC as having the artwork and song details but on the player the info is missing. Still trying to figure that part out. Overall I am happy with the music player and hope to get a lot of use out of it. A lower price for it would be nice. It's not worth 70+ dollars and I'm glad I was able to get one for roughly 50 dollars.

8GB 09 July 2019 by Mary1958 (United Kingdom)
I bought it for mainly downloading podcasts from the radio. It works fine, but doesn't start where it has left off when I switch it off. Also this is the first MP3 player I have had so someone else might find it easier to delete the music which has been already downloaded on to it. Why do they think I want to listen to this music?

Digital Music Player and Music Centre
8GB 25 June 2019 by msl1 (United Kingdom)
Have always had Sony MP3 players using Content Transfer to load music/radio programmes. This new player meant no longer able to use Content Transfer and needed to use Sony Music Centre. This is appalling in comparison. It has lost is ease of use, it now involves too many steps and creates new and unwanted folders making it much more difficult to find individual items. This is not progress, so can I ask if it is possible to revert back to Content Transfer?

I brought this for my son thinking that he would be able to store downloaded music on it, but for the life of me, I couldn’t do that. So it has become an entirely defunct product that I wish I hadn’t brought.
