NWZ-E574

The NWZ-E574 is an E Series Network Walkman equipped with 8 GB storage supporting MP3, WMA, AAC, and WAV playback. It uses a 240x320 TFT display and a lithium-ion battery capable of 50 hours of use. Features includes FM radio, WM-PORT connectivity, video and photo playback, DSEE, Omakase Channel, and Lyric Pita.

The E574 continues that same late E philosophy, but with the line now feeling a little more polished and a little more self-assured. Sony had finally accepted the idea that not every Walkman needed to be a statement product. Some just needed to be easy to own, easy to load, and pleasant enough that people would keep using them.
