FANTASTIC
Pros: Fantastic Player
Cons: Hard to find accessories
I was going to buy an IPOD but the sales clerk said they were overated and over priced for playing music and videos, so he suggested SONY. I love it!!! The only downfall I have is finding accessories for my player, I know I can order online but that is not something I want to do. I would much rather buy in a store. Thanks Sony for a great product!!!

Great MP3 player !
Pros: small, fits in your pocket, affordable, great sound quality.
Cons: no blue tooth capabilites or transmitters to work with it.
I love this player, I am not a fan of IPOD (or really any mac products :-P ). I wanted to invest in a good player and one that's easily affordable, without having to add an extra charge to a credit card. Works great, sound quality is awesome, and I rarely have to charge it. I do have one con and one erk (if that's a word). My erk is that there are a few files I have that will play halfway through and then skip to the next track. don't know why, and sony support couldn't help me either. Its only been with one album out of several that I currently have stored, so no biggie. The con is that I wish it either had blue tooth capabilities, or there was a blue tooth transmitter that would work on it. Besides those 2 things I would definitely recommend this to someone looking for an mp3 player other than IPOD.

Excellent Product
Pros: Great batt life, sound , and quality
Cons: cord on the bottom but used to it
This is the 3rd MP3 player I owned. I bought in Dec 08 and used it at work almost every day until I lost my usb cord 2 months ago. Here to order one today. My last one was a Samsung and when i did my research I bought this one based on many reviews. I am real happy whith this device. It is easy to use and it seem the batt life last forever. I mainly listen to musi cand my missed talk radio. M My young daughter like it better than the Samsung I gave her so I guess I already have a Christams gift to get her this year

Better than any ipod
Pros: Great sound quality good size reliable and amazing battery life
Cons: None.
This Mp3 player has been the best i have ever owned. Having used almost everything from an ipod to your average cheap thumb drive style mp3 player. For the longest time i would only purchase cheaper mp3 players because i can be rather rough on them. This one has been amazing and wasn't all that expensive. Getting a clear screen and good sound quality is very nice. Using a nice set of earbuds makes the listening experience amazing. Having a custom equalizer is also a nice feature. I do not have any urge to watch video's on it but the option is nice to have. The battery life is amazing and has surpassed anything else i have ever owned. This is basically an ipod but with out all the gimmicks. It is your best choice if you want to listen to music on your mp3 player.

Excellent
Pros: size, weight, file drag and drop does not need music management software
Cons: I wish Sony had retained the 'automatic volume' feature, but its a nit.
You can drag and drop your Mp3 files to the player, so you don't need to use specialized music management software. The FM tuner is pretty sensitive, and there is an easy to find volume control on the side of the player. The player is small and light--you can wear it around your neck using just the headphone cord. The navigation buttons are perfect in size and placement. You can set specific EQ using adjustable EQ sliders. The player sounds very good. I think this is one of Sony's best offerings, and beats Ipod for usability--assuming you are into Mp3's and not proprietary music formats. The drag and drop ability of this player is really a great feature.

Very nice
Pros: Sound quality, ease of use
Cons: Not used to the jack being on the bottom but I'll get used to it.
This little thing is great. The sound is awesome, on both music files and FM. The software included works great but the Windows Media Player is great, too. The option button is very nice to use. If someone is on the fence between this and an I-pod, I would strongly recommend this.
