Everyone has at least a few precious things that they just can't live without. For some people, it's a ratty, old stuffed animal from childhood or a potato chip shaped like Abe Lincoln; for the singing governess in The Sound of Music, just about everything she saw seemed to be one of her favorite things. We're sure you're a little more selective than she, but we think that you'll probably be as enamored with the new Sony D-SJ01 Discman as we are. With its great design and excellent sound, this sports CD player is way ahead of the pack. Everyone has at least a few precious things that they just can't live without.

Striking Good Looks
In its design, the D-SJ01 eschews tradition and turns ordinary portable CD players on their head. While on the go, you can carry the Sony in your left palm: slip your hand through the strap, and wrap it around the edge. All of the necessary controls, such as Play, Stop, and Track Skip fall under your thumb. This is a much better way to carry a CD player than strapping it to your waist; it feels more secure and doesn't flop around.

And if that's not quite enough style for you, the black, yellow, and silver color scheme will definitely help you stand out from the crowd. You can watch your discs through a translucent, yellow window on the lid as they spin away. Half of the joy of this Discman is just how cool you look when you're toting it around town. And admit it: Style goes a long way in dictating the right portable electronics choice. Continue reading
