I am so totally in love with my new "Sony Blue" (as I call it). I'm like Siamese Twinned to it, I can't imagine living without it.
But it gets better! It also plays MP3s, which includes MP3 audio books. So on a whim tonight I went out in search of a free audio book to try out on it. I found this cool site (Librivox) which has a selection of free audio books, and a link for volunteers to read and record audiobooks for the site (which I may check out later).
I was browsing through the library and ran onto something called "The Madman and the Pirate" - which I'd never heard of, but was (a) public domain and therefore free; and (2) had the words "madman" and "pirate" both in the title, both of which combined to make me think this was something worth checking out.
So I downloaded it, put it on the Sony, and listened to a few minutes. Holy. Cow. The sound is awesome!!! (You do have to use earbuds or headphones - it has no external speakers - a minor point to me).
So the thing gets more amazing as the days go by.
Did I mention how much I LOVE this thing?
