It is a sad,sad day today. I said goodbye to my beloved pink 16gb Mp3 player. After nearly two years of daily abuse it finally went and bit the dust…
It started to malfunction last week, I would listening to it and it would just stop playing and freeze on me. I couldn’t even get it to switch off.. I would resort to sticking a pin in the reset to crank it up again. Last night well, last night that little trick wouldn’t even work..
I let it discharge and tried it again this evening, after a full recharge it is working but I have realized that it isn’t fair on the poor little girl, so I have to retire her as a working unit today. Yes, it is female -because she is pink ? No,she is a temperamental and stroppy little cow when she wants too be!
I have decided to go ahead and just replace it without looking for a different model. Pinkie (how sad is it that she was even named?) did take a lot of abuse. I’m a klutz to begin with , so it was dropped many a time during her life span. The boys did get their grubby little mitts on it from time to time but I always kept the screen locked so there was never any harm done.
I have a new Sony Walkman (NWZ-S639FS) reserved in Argos ,so I’ll collect it tomorrow. It isn’t pink though ,it is is a rather boring silver colour.. Oh well, it will do the job!
It is a 16gb ,yes ,so tonnes of tracks. It can also play MP4s’ but I have never had any on Pinkie. It is a very robust unit and that is the main thing.
With the new one, I think maybe I should treat it with a little bit more respect and it might actually last longer this time..
Sad,sad state of affairs…
