Jamie, London , “Gadget lover”

+ Users can listen to MP3 files, ripped CD's, watch / listen to podcasts, watch YouTube and import WMV video files - full screen option is adequate.

- To get full info on ripped CDs users have to use Windows Media Player which is not always that good a system - plus if you have your MP3 player synced with your PC you have to keep all these tracks in your PC, otherwise when you next attach your MP3 player and PC these tracks appear to dissappear which is bizarre - but I am a relativley new user to this walkman. Also, YouTube does not always connect in some places (e.g. Starbucks).
