Sony Launches New Walkman MP3 Player

Sony India has launched its latest MP3 Walkman NWD-B100 series. This 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.

Weighing 30g, the NWD-B100 connects directly to the computer through a USB port without the problems of cables. The Sony MP3 player adopts the drag-and-drop interface for music and file transfer without any software installation.

The newly developed 'Auto Transfer' software built into the NWD-B100 makes it simpler to load the player with music. This software automatically searches for and transfers the most recently added tracks from your PC to your MP3 Walkman. It’s also compatible with Sony’s mini/micro hi-fi system speakers via USB. The NWD-B100 can charge its battery through the USB port while connected to a PC.

The NWD-B100 has a three-line color LCD display. Users can also search for their desired song by artist, album and song, or by folder and file name. It also has six different equalizer functions: heavy, rock, classic, pop, jazz and a customizable option.

The new player comes in two capacities: an 1GB model priced Rs. 3,990 and a 2GB model priced Rs. 4,990. The two colors available are black and white. The devices are available at select Sony showroom across the country.
