Repeat Functions Fit For Language Learning and Near-Death Experience of My New Walkman - My Progresses 48
I played some musics and newscasts on Walkman I purchased a few days ago.
Sound is fine. User interface is not so refined as iPod nano; I have to push arrow keys many times to find my favorite music searching over many albums I put into the player. I miss iPod's click wheel when I have to select a music from so many options. (An iPod these days has a touch panel instead of a click wheel, and I'm not so sure I like to operate a touch panel to listen to music.)
A set of repeat functions intended for language learning the feature which finally make me choose a Walkman.
1) A-B Repeat: You can choose any two points in an audio track to repeat from one to another. I haven't take fully advantage of this, but I guess that this function will be useful if I want to listen to one topic repeatedly, in tens of seconds to a few minutes, in a newscast audio track over tens of minutes.
2) Quick Replay: You can rewind your audio track for approximately 3 seconds. I have wished my iPod had a function of this sort when I'm transcribing a newscast. I'm looking forward to transcribing a newscast with Walkman sometime probably in next week.
I was greatly in distress when my player wouldn't respond even when I push buttons many times after I tried to connect a microphone with it. I doubted if I pushed button properly, and then I doubted mismatch of the case. When I turned it off and turned it again (i.e. I reloaded system) button properly worked again. During the dysfunction, I was wondering in distress that "I haven't thought that so-called Sony Timer would be triggered so early as a day after I got a gadget." Of course it was too early for the timer to be triggered, but at least I've experienced a near-death experience of my Walkman as early as a day after I obtained one.
