Getting in the zone just got more fun with the addition of three new S2 Sports players. A new Network Walkman digital music player, CD boombox and arm-band radio join Sony's endurance-driven line of S2 Sports portable audio devices, giving active music lovers even more reasons to get moving.

All of the new models incorporate features for extreme sports, such as water and shock resistance, and active control for instant music access. Additionally, the S2 Network Walkman device plays back ATRAC3/ATRAC3plus , supports MP3, WMA and WAV files, and is compatible with the Connect online music service.

"Since the introduction of Sony's S2 Sports line more than two years ago, everyone from weekend warriors to extreme gym rats have turned to S2 players to inspire their workouts through music," said Allan Jason, vice president of Sony Electronics' Personal, Mobile and Imaging Division, who focuses on portable audio and mobile electronics products. "With our latest introductions and the addition of a digital music player, we're offering even greater motivation to athletic-minded music fans."

NW-S23 S2 Sports Network Walkman Digital Music Player

The first flash-based digital music player to join the S2 Sports line, the NW-S23 model is ideal for anything from mountain biking to a walk in the park. About the size of a pack of gum, the tiny, 2-ounce player won't weigh you down during a workout. It sports an ergonomic design and achieves up to 70 hours of continuous playback on one AAA battery.

The Network Walkman player features 256 MB of built-in flash memory that stores up to 170 four-minute songs at 48 kbps. It connects directly to a PC's USB port for quick transfers and comes bundled with SonicStage version 2.2 music management software. SonicStage software makes it easy to import, manage and transfer music collections and enables play-lists or track information created in the jukebox to be automatically transferred to the device.

Additionally, the NW-S23 model is supplied with MP3 file manager software that enables the direct transfer of MP3 files to the device without going through SonicStage software.

The player also has a backlit LCD display with four modes to show track numbers, play modes, artist names, song titles and more. The group/folder function allows for easy navigation between multiple folders transferred from play-lists.

The S2 Sports Network Walkman player comes supplied with coordinating h.ear headphones and an arm-band style carrying case. It will be available at the end of this month for about $180.
