BEST MP3 player for the money
By ken1557 from Cleveland, OHIO on 02/15/2007.
Cons: No full color screen
Pros: Simple Controls, Great Sound, Easy To Set Up, Reliable Performance, Tough, Lots of Storage
Best Uses: Travel, At Home, Commuting, Sports, At Work
Best MP3 player I own that strictly does music (no video). Better sound quality and reliability then my $800 archos video MP3 player and much lighter and easier to use then my $300 creative MP3 player. The 2 gig capacity just for music is great for me and most of the 30 gig space on my creative player is left empty. The hat clip for the sony seems fragile but hasn't broken yet under my heavy abuse. The belt clip/arm band seems very well made.
Just what I was looking for.
By Pennies from San Diego, CA on 02/14/2007.
Best Uses: At Work, At Home
Pros: Lots of Storage, Reliable Performance
Cons: Not very user friendly
It was a little difficult learning how to transfer music to it the first time but now I've got the hang of it and am very happy. Some people may not like having to use the Sony software that comes with it but I don't mind.
I would buy this product again and again
By Sam from MA on 02/12/2007.

Great Sound
By Gym guy from San Jose, Ca on 02/9/2007.
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Simple Controls, Lots of Storage, Great Sound
Cons: Not WMA compatable
Best Uses: Travel, Commuting, At Work, Sports
I lovet he sound and the earbuds block out the outside noise very good. It's very light and the recharging feature is great. I use it to work out but I'm not happy with Sony arm band/clip that was purchased seperately. The arm band only fits around my forearm and the clif is too small and keeps "poping out",
better that ipod

Meets expectations
By Bill from Wagram, NC on 01/19/2007.
Cons: Poor software
Best Uses: Sports, Travel, At Work, At Home
Pros: Tough, Lots of Storage, Reliable Performance
Setup was a nightmare on my PC. The setup instructions are scant and poorly written. To be fair, I was able to set it up on another PC without problems. My machine is older and needed more "tweaking". Sony tech support was poor. I had to fix the problems on my own. Once set up, it has been great! You can only load songs with the supplied software, which works pretty well.
EXCELLENT!
By TJR from MN on 01/6/2007.
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Reliable Performance, Lots of Storage, Great Sound
Best Uses: Sports, Commuting
EXCELLENT! Plenty of space, easy to program/download, great sound quality, compact size.
good deal
By beth from MI on 01/1/2007.
Best Uses: At Home, At Work, Travel, Sports, Commuting
Cons: controls to complicated
Pros: Reliable Performance, Lots of Storage, Tough, Great Sound, Easy To Set Up
overall i enjoyed the product and i think it was a good deal for the money and i am pleased with the product. my only complaint is that the controls are sometimes complicated and makes it difficult to navigate through music and it easy to leave on accidently, which drains the battery.
