Several years ago I got the fancy Sony Walkman with a plug-in control tube. This controller broke within six months and would have cost over to replace. The D-NE319 works just as well without the worry of having to replace a very fragile plastic control apparatus.

Playback options include 18 playback modes and a bookmark function that offers a wide array of listening choices, including hearing one track repeatedly, hearing a selection of tracks in a desired order, or listening to tracks randomly. P Compatible with Sony's ATRAC3plus technology, the DNE-319 Walkman is loaded and ready to play the rewritable CDs of albums and tracks you download and burn from Sony's Connect Music Store. The player also comes bundled with Sony's SonicStage CD Simple Burner software. Compatible with most CD burners, this application transfers songs from CDs or MP3 music files from your PC's hard drive and burns them to recordable CDs using ATRAC3plus compression.P ATRAC3plus is Sony's high-quality audio-compression technology that reduces the size of digital audio files while preserving much of a track's original sound quality (similar in concept to MP3 or Dolby Digital sound formats). With ATRAC3plus, music can be burned and compressed at 132, 105, 66, 64, or even 48 kbps (kilobits per second), letting you select the right balance between fidelity and storage space, and allowing you to burn up to 490 songs to a disc at 48 kbps.P Other features include Sony's Digital Mega Bass Sound, which produces rich, deep, bass tones with extremely low harmonic distortion; a five-direction control key, which means that you control five individual functions from a single button; a three-line LCD that provides fast and easy identification of track, title, album and artist information along the location of specific songs; and an automatic shut-off feature that powers the player down when it's not in use, helping to further conserve battery power.PBAbout Sony Connect Music Store and ATRAC3plus/Bbr Sony's Connect Music Store (http://musicstore.connect.com) offers one of the most extensive music collections online.

excellent product - M. Zachlod -
This discman is absolutely in line with my expectations! Before I chose it, I went through other offers, but they were much worse than this. Besides high quality of sound, it is designed very ergonomically. For me it's absolutely the top product.
