The Sony NW-E505 Flash Memory Walkman(R) is a stylish player that lets you enjoy your digital audio anywhere. The incredibly lightweight body weighs just 37 grams, even with the battery.
It sounds great and it’s convenient to carry — exactly what you need while you work, travel and just hang out.

My purchase of NW-E505 is one of the best investment I purchased this year. If you are in the market for a mini-flash media player, especially compare to iPod shuffle, I would highly recommend this player over the iPod. Here are the reasons.
1) Sony player has about 50 hours of battery life. Basically, I don’t know what it means to be low on battery.
2) it has a very stylish screen that tells you the song title, artist, mode (shuffle, repeat, single play), duration of the time.
3) It has a clock,
4) you can change the treble and base setting to maximize performace.
5) diffenerent colors (black, silver, dark blue, light blue and pink).
6) very sturdy material (just take feel test between sony and iPod).
7) It has a FM radio tuner. I am not a radio person but it’s nice to have FM just in case. 
The sony compuuter program is easy to use and it can convert songs to smaller storage files without changing the integrity of the song.
I hope you’ll enjoy your player as much as I do.
