      Sony Walkman NW-A3000

      Sony NW-A3000

      By Rosemary Haworth

      Review summary: It'd be a slight overstatement to say there was a round of applause when we heard that Sony was going to break the habit of a lifetime and start selling music players that were capable of playing MP3s. But it was certainly greeted as a welcome volte ...

      Verdict: Its looks are striking and listening to tunes on it really is a joy, but the NW-A3000 is heavy and lacks the user-friendly access to tracks found on its rivals. And despite claiming to be an MP3 player, in reality it's a clunky Atrac player that can ...

      Sony NWA 3000 B

      By Ivan Đurđevac

    Better than people say

    Sony NW-A3000 20GB By Anonymous (20/03/2007)
    • Pros: Great battery life, stylish, loud enough to block out traffic noise
    • Cons: Nothing really, except the weight

    First off, can i just say that the software is better than people put it out to be. The main problems that people had with the walkman is the software that is used to sync the music to the walkman. Now i got the walkman on my fifteenth birthday, and i still managed to figure out how to install and use the software. Even my dad could use the software. Therefore, the people that had problems wit... Read Full Review »

    SONY CONNECT SOFTWARE IS SIMPLE !

    Sony NW-A3000 20GB By CHRIS EASY (27/08/2006)
    • Pros: EASE OF DOWNLOAD , SOUND QUALITY , BATTERY LIFE
    • Cons: SLIGHTLY BULKIER THAN SOME MP3 PLAYERS, LOW QAULITY HEADPHONES.

    I have read several reviews where the complexities of Sony Connect software has been a major hurdle for some people in downloading music they have stored on their PC's/laptops in Windows Media Player.
    I'm no computer buff , but I found it a breeze by doing the following :
    1. Ensure you load up the Connect software correctly.
    2. Let Connect upload whatever music you have on your computer ( ... Read Full Review »

    NW-A3000 Walkman

    Sony NW-A3000 20GB By David Barker (22/08/2006)
    • Pros: Stylish, Massive capacity
    • Cons: Software, Sluggish downloads

    Bought this unit about 1 week ago, first downloads were in mp3 format and were a breeze. However the software is terrible. I used to test software for a living and I would have never allowed the Connect software to be released. It's riddled with bugs. Problems are more apparent if you try to download tracks as ATRAC3+ format. I suspect that reviews extolling the virtues of this player haven... Read Full Review »

    Sony NW-A3000 20GB By Lorenzo toto (24/06/2006)
    • Pros: Style, battery life, better value than a ipod
    • Cons: none

    Having owned a sony nw-a3000 for 6 months now, i have found using it easy with no problems to report.

I have also heard from "reviews" that you can... Read Full Review »
