| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Sony NWZ-S616F and Audiobooks |
| I listen to allot of books that I download from my library system using Overdrive, which uses protected wrm files. I was excited to see this player as a compatible one on the overdrive library website so purchased it.
Everything the reviewers say about this player, the battery life, easy user interface, great sound, etc. are true, so I like the player from these aspects. The problems in using this player for audiobooks is twofold. First there are no bookmarks. My listening tracks are about 70 minutes long. If I want to listen to FM, I can easily switch over to it. However, when I go back to music, the player acts like I am starting over. I have to find the the file I was listening to and then fast forward through it until I find my place in the book. Second, the fast forward/backward option. My old Creative Muvo would accelerate the fast forward the longer I hold down the button. So moving forward from the 10 to the 20 minute mark is much faster than going from the 0 to 10 minute mark. The sony only fast forwards at the same, slow, rate regardless of how long you hold down the button. So while it took seconds to move forward 40 minutes with the Creative, this player seems to take forever, although I haven't actually timed it. I still plan to use this player as my primary, as I have already sunk my money for it, but had I to do it over, I would have picked a different player for my specific needs. Hopefully Sony can come out with a firmware update to address these requirements. |
