The Drag and Drop MP3 Walkman by Sony

Keeping up with the tradition of manifesting the best in technology, Sony India has launched its latest MP3 Walkman NWD-B100 series . Compact and stylish in look, this great value MP3 player features a USB direct connect, a three-line color LCD display, an FM tuner with radio recording capabilities and a voice recorder function with a built-in microphone.

Sony has thus come out of its obsession with “Attrac Only” players. NWD-B100 not only syncs directly with Windows Media Player, but it can also be used as a USB drive, meaning you can drag-and-drop files across. But, unfortunately Sony’s own format Attrac is not supported!

The Sony MP3 Walkman NWD-B100 series player comes in two different capacities and colors. Available at select Sony showroom across the country, the NWD-B100 also comes supplied with comfortable, easy-to-wear headphones that team superb audio quality with stylish design.

NWD-B100 series walkmans are available in 2 Models:

Model NWZ-B105F
Memory Capacity: 2 GB
Max. no. Songs: 999
Price (MRP): Rs.4990/-
Colours: Black, White

As much as being forced to use Atrac was a pain on previous Sony models, I have to admit it’s a great codec, with small files and good sound quality. People who upgrade from other Sony players have a right to complain about not being able to use it.

It only plays music (and the radio) - no photos or videos - and each is about the size of your thumb. The big downside of NWD-B105F/B is the battery life. It’s only 12 hours, much less than the NWE’s 30.
