A well-developed chassis and tech. Thoughtful function options. Everything I could wish for in this Walkman.

Anyone who has not looked into this Walkman beforehand might be disappointed. The battery drains quickly and the storage is almost completely consumed by the Android operating system. But those who have delved into it will undoubtedly be very happy with it. There are solutions for the negatives. It can accommodate an SD card, so the storage is easy to expand. And the problem of the battery can be tackled by charging more often. Anyone who finds all this no problem (like me) will cherish this Walkman. The sound is great, the design is very nice and because this Walkman has Android on board, you can download and use Spotify (or any other music app). But what I like most is the screensaver of a spinning cassette tape. I can look at that for hours.

It is a media player that allows you to play audio files in high quality. It is a small handy device. It has an Android operating system, which means that many apps from Google are included as standard, such as Gmail, YouTube, Play Store, Maps, etc. You can also set up Apps yourself, for example Spotify. So you need a Google account.
You can also play videos on it. But the screen is very small, so you might want to use your smartphone for that. This player's DAC is better than most phones and can also play high quality audio files. I only use the player for music.
On the side are buttons such as volume, display, track forward and back. Only if you press the view button a little too long, the Google Assistant responds. That is sometimes annoying.
If you don't use Spotify and only use the files on the player, you can enable 'Airplane mode', which saves battery.
Putting the files on it is just like iTunes. Importing the files first is the program. You can also create a playlist if you want. Then select the files and transfer them to the device. Also don't forget to transfer the playlist to the device.
You have different sound settings. I don't hear much difference whether they are on or off. The equalizer is the best way to adjust the sound.
What you could do is create a separate Google account specifically for this device. If you don't do anything with it, you will hardly receive any messages and you can enjoy your music in peace. And there is hardly any private data in it.
