OK, but could be better

This version of the Sony 'Walkman' is slightly different from their earlier models. The play / pause button in the center of the circle has a slight depression, and the right and left sides of the circle have small tactile dots. It doesn't sound like much, but those improvements make it much easier to use the controls without actually having to look down at it. Unfortunately, Sony also decided to remove the small sliding 'Hold' switch which use to be on the side of the device, which prevented the player from being turned on unintentionally while it was (eg) in your pocket. Now, to turn off 'hold' use must press down and hold the 'Option' button for about 5 seconds....EVERY SINGLE TIME you turn the player on or off, or even take it off of pause for anything longer than a slight delay. It's a poor design....the older version was better in this regard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very nice small player. Very easy to use. I don't use the included earbuds, as I use Sony MDR-ZX100 headphones.
