It is not often - or at least not often enough

- that I buy new toys. When I do, however, I have a knack for doing it well! I have just become the proud new owner of a Sony NW-E005F MP3 player.
The interesting thing about this cool new gadget is that I did something I said I would never do: I bought a digital rights managed (DRM) MP3 player. Well, enough pro's finally outweighed the con's. It hit my performance sweet spot so I now own a Sony DRM-based player!
Firstly, it’s a USB flash key with 2GB to play with, finally enough to at least keep me happy. Secondly, I can fit all of my favorite MP3s, both music and podcasts. Last and just as important, it is absolutely beautiful both in visual design and in the user interface.
Sure it has its con’s but for now I will put up with them because it ROCKS!
