This summer, I was telling my eleven-year old niece that it would be nice to have a cd and fm walkman in one. She looked at me like I was so out of it and told me it already existed.
Well, you know Sony would be responsible! I absolutely love my walkman!! I have owned several models over the years and the more Sony builds, the better they become. This model does not skip at all and mine has been through the gym and on hikes! When you get tired of the disc, you just switch over to the tuner. You have the option to program stations (not a new feature of course) and they come in crystal clear. I just love the option, especially when you are planning on extended use.
Very durable as usual and a nice strap to slip over your hand for easy/secure handling.
Sony equates quality!

This CD player was the first that I bought. I was just getting into music (I'm just 14) and my mom was begging me to get one instead of always using the stereo. So, I just went and got this one. It has been dropped on the school cafeteria floor, the wood at my house, the sidewalk, and the worst thing that happened after all those falls was the batteries flyed out. It plays great, and the battery life is great, too. (about 10 hours). I have had it for a year and a half, and it still works like a charm. The radio feature is great too. I listen to Q101 all the time. Be warned: THIS CD PLAYER TURNED ME INTO A COMPLETE METALHEAD!!! BUT THATS NOT BAD... ITS VERY GOOD!!! Awesome CD player, strongly recommended.

This Sony is what a personal CD player should be. It's not much larger than a CD, has an excellent digital tuner, and incredible sound, combined with the Sony "G-Protection" which translates into NO skipping. The previous reviewer is correct about the headphones, if you want to get the best out of this player pick up a pair of ear buds.

This is the best cd player I know of, meaning the best you can get without going broke. Everyone at school knows that if you're going to get a cd player, get this one. It doesn't skip, no matter what. I've heard stories of people kicking it, dropping it, stepping on it and even falling off a bike with it and having it never skip. I highly recommend this cd player.

I have never had problems with this cd player, and i abuse my cd players:) it has a wrist holder-thing, so i dont drop it as much, which helps, but if i do drop it, it does not cause any damage.. maybe something comes loose if its dropped hard enough, but i snap it back and its fine. this cd player has only skipped on me once, in 12 months, and it was low on batteries at the time. not to mention, the batteries last forever. i use it at least an hour every day, if not more, and the batteries do not need to be replaced for upwards of a month.
