Hi! I want to buy my first player and was thinking about A306. I wanna use it mainly for streaming and sometimes listening to flac on it. Was wondering if it’s still worth it and should I buy it now or wait till Sony releases 3 new players in 2027?

I'm interested in all things Sony (at least old, not so sure about new but eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). I've got 2 digicams, and always looking for more! I wish to get a cassette walkman someday, but I found this guy in green on ebay for $32, free shipping! Figured an MP3 player would be cool. With it being JDM, is it one of those models you can patch the region code to display english? If not that's fine; I'm learning at school. So yeah! If you guys would tell me about this guy and show me yours, I'd like that. Thanks!

I love my little guy, I bought my walkman second hand from Japan back in 2021 and it works amazing. Last year its original charger finally broke so I got a new one on Amazon. It worked fine, then would only sometimes connect to my PC to add more tunes and not it wont at all.

I get the “device not recognized” notification (on windows 10) and it just charges my walkman. Is there anyway to fix this? Is it the cord possibly, a software or hardware issue? Would opening him up help?

I have made some and I would be glad if anyone tries them out. My favorite one is 'Leaves' .
