Stu takes a look at Sony's Walkman NWZ-S639F and is left feeling rather impressed!
While the most demanding audiophiles could do better, the S-Series Walkman has the edge on Apple's Nano when it comes to sound quality and value. Compact players don't get much better than this.

On of the reasons I purchased this was experience before with a sony mp3 player. The mp4 has a radio which is ideal if you just want to listen to that instead of your music. I wuld buy again from Sony as I love their products.
