Sony has got a couple of hot devices for the music-feverish geeks. It’s just rolled out two new models of MP3 players which are NW-630F and NWS730. Both these players are flashed-based, having a memory size of 16GB.
The two new MP3 players feature a 2.0 LCD screen, provide direct encoding function (from CD / MD), and FM radio. The two players are compatible with wide variety of formats including MP3 / WMA / ATRAC / ATRAC Advanced lossless / Linear PCM / AAC / HE-AAC audio files, and H.264 / AVC / Mpeg4 videos files. They all come in the dimensions of 89.5×42.9×7.5mm and weighs 46g each.
Sony also introduces the NW-S630FK, which includes speakers and a pair of noise-canceling earphones. The price is still unknown , but the products will get ready for shipping on Oct 11th.
Other than the mentioned MP3 Players, Sony also readies a few new models for its “NAS” (Network Accessible Storage) Audio system, which are NAS-M700HD (550 Euro), NAS-M500HD (420 Euro) and CMT-E300HD (300 Euro). These NAS audio system is similar to the NAS used within your computer network, but this is intended for storing music files.
Both the M500 and M700 come with a storage capacity of 160GB, 4.3 inch LCD screen, and a few ports which are similar to what are found on a “real” NAS such as 2 USB ports, Ethernet. And there are additional for the music which are WM-PORT, analog audio out, headphone out. Both the models have a output power of of 2x20W (Ohm).
The NAS products of Sony also DLNA 1.0 certified which allows you to receive data from any Sony device, such as an MP3 player, and they’re able to reproduce MP3 / ATRAC / WMA audio files. The M700 also features an MD player.
The last model, CMT-E300HD has less features than the first two, that is why it costs cheaper. It’s got 80GB storage, 1 USB port, and it’s unable to reproduce audio files from CD.
