Bought this in 2016 in Nagoya Japan, excellent, unfortunately I'm not able to change the language menu to english, so probably missing out on its full set of features.

Excellent sound and if you only intend to listen to albums you know well, it's fine. However, there is no ability to rate tracks; no ability to track last played or play-counts; and the software is basic and has slow transfer speeds. I bought the Walkman to replace a broken iPod Classic and have subsequently bought a second-hand iPod to handle what the Walkman can't.

The Walkman is a lovely little thing with very good sound quality. My only complaint is that if I import music that is split over several CDS the music gets shuffled out of order: rather than disk 1 track1, disk 1 track 2, ... disk 2 track 1, disk 2 track 2 etc. what appears is disk 1 track 1, disk 2 track 1, disk 1 track 2, etc. I can work around it by constructing a playlist, but for an expensive device like this I shouldn't have to. Also, the Walkman does not automatically sync with Media Go: I have to manually copy new items. While I'm on the subject of Media Go, although it imports music from my iTunes library it doesn't import or revise playlists. Again, I can work around it, but I shouldn't have to. Finally, when I copy playlists to the Walkman often Media Go will tell me they've been copies while the Walkman doesn't know that they're there. It often takes several goes before they're recognised. All in all, it's a lovely high-quality player with disappointing supporting software.
