This new Walkman is sure to give users the audio quality Sony is known for, along with several other features that make this unit shine. This device may be small, but users should not judge this music player by its cover as it offers a lot of things under its fascia.
The most noticeable thing about the new Sony Walkman NWZ-S615F is its small form factor, its construction and build, and the absence of its old SonicStage software. The unit now uses the PlaysForSure software, making it easy for users to transfer audio, video, and photos. PlaysForSure means you don't need to have proprietary Sony software to transfer your music files into a Sony-compatible format. (The way iTunes works with iPod.) Now, the Walkman can play a whole range of music file formats giving users a lot more choice and flexibility in what can be played.
The NWZ-S615F sports a 1.8-inch colour LCD with navigation keys, back/home, power/option, and play/pause buttons up front, giving users everything they need. The volume control can be found on the right spine, with the hold toggle conveniently present on the left edge. Finally, a 3.5mm jack is found on the top of the unit while a proprietary USB port can be found at the bottom of the unit.
