Product Description
The NWZ-S638FB from Sony is what all MP3 players should be like ' stylish and so simple that even your grandma could use it! The slimline, lightweight NWZ S638FB fits into the palm of your hand and is packed to the brim with fantastic features! You can customise the NWZ S638 FB to match your mood and style thanks to the 10 themes included, and even set one of your photos as the screen's background. The NWZ S638 FB's LCD screen comes with Ultra-Bright technology, which basically means that you're guaranteed clear, sharp images in both portrait and widescreen modes, while its multimedia function lets you listen to music, flick through photos and watch videos. The NWZ S 638 FB is compatible with most audio and video formats, and is equipped with a massive 8 GB memory, providing you with plenty of room for storing up to 1,850 tracks in MP3 format. The battery's life span is remarkable, lasting nearly 40 hours when you're listening to music, and for approximately 30 hours when you're enjoying videos. On top of all this, the NWZ-S638FB boasts four Clear Audio technologies, as well as a SensMe feature that allows you to easily organise your music collection by style, theme and more. You'll be glad to find that the NWZ S 638 FB also has a Dynamic Normaliser function, which means you can balance volume between music tracks played at the same level, and an advanced equaliser with 5 bands so you can create your own music mixes. When it comes to connectivity, the NWZ-S638-FB sports a USB port for uploading and downloading content in just a few clicks on your computer, and a drag-&-drop interface for quickly transferring Podcasts and other media files from Window Media Player and iTunes (excluding iTunes-DRM).

 This is a brilliant product January 7, 2009
I read all the reviews on different MP3 players as well as IPODs and I am glad that I took notice of what everyone was saying as I purchased the Sony 16GB player as a Christmas present for myself and it really is brilliant. It is easy to use and I didn't really need to read the instructions to use it. The sound quality is great and it is easy to find the songs, videos, pictures you want. If you buy this product, you will not be disappointed.
Amazing Item, Great Price January 7, 2009
This is simply one of the best players on the market at the moment, it is so light and small, and it simply does not weigh anything.
The quality of the headphones are amazing, and the screen is as bright and colourful and clear to read.
It does take a bit of getting used to if you are used to an apple scroll wheel, but after a few plays with this sony player you forget why you ever need an ipod.
You can use it with WM11 and it comes with a free 3 month trial for Napster, so you can really test out the player with all of the great music available.
I would say this is worthy of 6 stars but amazon doesnt account for that!!
Bugs Bunny January 7, 2009
I can't seem to find in any of the reviews or on the techincal description as to Battery. I would like to know how how many hours play for music and how many hours for video. Also how long does it take to charge the battery once it is flat?
well done sony January 4, 2009
Sony NWZ-S639FB 16GB Drag & Drop MP4 Video Player with FM Tuner, Black
recently purchased this little gem,from amazon.If your nano is an 8GB and almost full ,throw it away and buy this,its got twice the memory,the sound is far superior,it has an fm radio,its easy to operate,it also looks classy.you can still keep i tunes as your default to sync to.i had no trouble in changing over my library after initialising the special sony to i tunes disc.with 16GB i have plenty of room to store new songs.my videos are unable to transfer from i tunes,but thats hardly a disaster.
Was skeptical but what a great product ! January 3, 2009

Looked at the reviews on Amazon and elsewhere, my son said I would regret buying this model and not an Ipod. I was a little skeptical about how positive the reviews were , there only put on by Sony supporters right ?
How wrong could he be, its simply brilliant !! (and I'm no Sony supporter in general), the unit is light, stylish and works superbly.
The functions are well balanced, the sound quality is the best I've ever heard and the podcast / I player functionality is simply brilliant.
Even my son says the sound quality knocks his Ipod (he has several) in to the dust, and is quite jealous.
The only function I haven't used is the radio, i've tested it and it works well (radio 4) but haven't given it the real test that I have with the music and the Iplayer. I've watched several tele programs and have been impressed by the real quality of the picture and playback over Christmas, although the screen is small it is of wonderful quality.
The music player /software supplied is simple to use for all media types (podcasts / iplayer / music etc). I'm 44 and I got it first time !
Dont believe the battery times - its even better than quoted !!! I don't have it too loud, but after its initial charge of 3 hours, I got wait for it nearly 26 hours of video and music playing, and even now it hasn't gone flat !
If you can get over the superficial matter that its not an Ipod then it is simply superb....
