This used to be available in the United States for purchase. I have one, and bought it in 2020 from Best Buy for $170. [0] Good to know it's still available in Japan, but it's a shame it doesn't seem to be in stock in the US anymore since it's a fantastic player. It's free from all the smartphone bloat and runs a slick interface on vanilla linux (and works just fine with linux as USB mass storage device, as well as an FM radio receiver, and a bluetooth client/host). That there is no wifi in my mind is a feature rather than a bug. I also like to think that model name is an homage to the hip hop group, N.W.A. :-P [0] https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-walkman-nw-a55-hi-res-16gb-mp3-player-black/6395918.p?skuId=6395918 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-walkman-nw-a55-hi-res-16gb...
