Saddend

I was originally so happy with my purchase but in the process of adding more music onto my player it crashed. Now it no longer turns on. I have tried everything!! It's so upsetting because the purchase was not cheap! I'm a student with limited money so the fact it wont turn on anymore is so upsetting, now I will most likely have to buy another kind of Walkman considering this one is no longer for sale. Im devastated. I would appreciate some help from SONY and I would like to resolve this situation. To clarify while the Walkman worked I was only able to use it maybe 4-6 times before this happend. If it continued working the product would be 5 stars. Providing image to show my walkman in brand new conditions.

Great sound

The buttons and menus can be confusing, other than that it is a good music player.
