Review: walkman'ish portable android - good on looks solid built quality but android music app keep failing and freezes , downgrade from NW-A55 music app, has no bluetooth transmiter and does not support for hi-res 5- pole noise cancelling earphones, and its doesnt transfer music from mac os directly, needs 3rd party paid apps.
Review: First thing first. The quality of sound reproduction is exactly what one expects from Sony- crystal clear & pure with a nice DAC and EQ and a lot many other sound improving capabilities . This player was a nightmare initially to understand it's functions, especially the necessity of providing a full-fledged bunch of mobile Android apps. The biggest drawback is the inbuilt memory, which at 32 gb barely adequate for Android apps . It could have been made atleast 128/64 gb. However, slot for external SD card upto 1 TB is a big saving grace. A slightly bigger battery for longer playback would have also added an extra attraction at this price point. However, the quality of reproduction of music more than compensate these shortcomings. Earlier I rated it 4*, which I must revise to 5 after a few months of use - reason being it's musicality from my own FLAC / MP3 Stored music as well as high fidelity desertcart prime music. I have not listened to lossless music from Tidal or any other such platforms. Although, a bit expensive by Indian standard, for serious music lovers in India, I would recommend that instead of spending good money on high powered amplifier, CD player, record player, passive speakers etc. (which incidentally I have already done), better by a set of nice quality Active speakers and this Sony walkman player and your ears will feel blessed, because even most of expensive mobiles do not have DACs Good enough to bring the real thing out of streamed music.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this display lyrics embedded in music file tag?**
A: Yes with various success. If you have an app that displays them well I would advise you to stick with it on this Walkman. The built-in app is somewhat inconsistent but it's Android 12 so you can install one that works better for you.

**Q: Can the Sony do Airplay?**
A: Hi,
Thanks for the question! We are sorry but Airplay is not supported on the NW-A306 Walkman. However, the NW-A306 is Wi-Fi compatible for direct download and music streaming. Supported by Android and compatible with Wi-Fi, the NW-A306 offers you even more ways to listen to your music. Enjoy your favorite streaming and music apps right on your Walkman or connect to a PC to access your music collection. With a long battery life, you can immerse yourself in more of your music, with up to 36 hours of 44.1KHz FLAC playback, up to 32 hours of 96 KHz FLAC High-Resolution Audio playback, or even up to 26 hours with a music service app. Hope this helps! - Kris

**Q: What is the maximum size sd memory card supported?**
A: I've successfully used a 256gb card of which about 238gb was used. I am currently using a 512gb card, but in the process of cleansing my library metadata and reripping CDs as FLAC for higher quality with lossless compression.

**Q: I can't get the microsd to stay in the mp3 player. anyone else? what do i do? how do i play music from the sd card?**
A: I haven't had any connectivity issues. The music library should automatically recognize the SD card. Don't have to do anything additional on your end.
