Summary: A Great MP3 Player But Not Everyone
Review: First let me get this out of the way... if your not a Sony freak, you won't like this product. Sony employs its proprietary techonology in all of its products so unless you have other Sony products, your gonna find memory sticks expensive and the whole process annoying.I have a Sony Vaio computer with memory stick reader as well as a Sony digital camera so when looking for an MP3 player, Sony seemed like the logical choice because they worked with memory sticks too. However, you MUST use Magicgate memory sticks with the player. Magicgate memory sticks will work with other Sony products but regular memory sticks will not work with the player. The Magicgate memory sticks as well as the Sony Software is designed to protect copyrights. Sony is a music company also so they must balance their priorities. The software is a bit cumbersome and almost unusable on slower computers but works will on newer models. You cannot simply copy the music from your folders to the memory stick... you must use the software's Check In-Check Out ability. That's cause the songs are read by the player as ATRAC3 files (Sony creation!). There... I've given you all the problems you might face. I find this to be a great player, for me. I know some people will disagree. It's small, plays extremely well, i liked the headphones, and battery life is decent.

Summary: Slick Sony
Review: Great Looking. Very easy to use. Very Light. One flow though is the check in check out hhassle. Recommended for the general users. Not the frantic electronics/music downloads freaks.

Review: I am truely shocked at the good reviews for this product. The things that are good are that it is a good petit size, excellent for someone like me who does not wanna hawl a bunch of cds around and a bulky cd player especially if you are gonna go to the gym and work out or what have you. In its most compact format it holds about 50 songs depending on the lengths of songs and using its smallest format. Othen than that everything else sucks. The battery is a piece of crap. It is a unique size which is not available in stores, so once it goes no matter what you are doing you cannot replace it with another, you have to wait until you get home to recharge it again. Since I had it I have returned to to Sony 2 times mostly casue the battery does not work right. It clearly says in the book to charge it 7 hours which i do and after a while it starts to decrease in energy. It has been a bad experience sending out the product to sony and waiting for them to return it and what have you. It has an indicator to tell you the life of the battery, mine always is blinking meaning it is low even though i just charged it. ALso it NEVER indicates the battery is full and if it does it last one song. I mean I spend 300 bucks i expect a product that works right. Not this crap. I mean i am always having issues with the battery BOTH the ones i have. Casue i bought an extra one on the side per Sonys request.... whatever. If you wanna hear the first song it is ok, but lets say you wanna hear song number 49 on your player well as you search through all the songs clicking to number 49 there goes the battery and shuts off. It is rediculous at least if you could pop a double a battery in there it wold be ok but you can not do that. So trust me the size is great but not practical, especially for this money.

Summary: Sony-- still a good product
Review: I bought this MP3 player after having owned three others. Since I do a lot of outdoor activity, I wanted something easy to use, didn't eat up a million batteries, and was small. Sony fit the bill. I was initially concerned about the price, but it is true, you get what you pay for. No regrets here. My son now takes it and puts his music on it. I need to get another on for him. My only complaint is that it is difficult sometimes to tell when the battery is getting low-- so now I just charge it every night.
I would recommend this to any serious MP3 user.

Summary: Sony MP3 players break!!
Review: I bought this MP3 player in August of 2002 along with a friend who also bought one. Both players were used routinely with no abuse but both stopped working. I also know another friend who has bought two of them and they both have broke. Do not buy this player. It is fragile.

Summary: All you would expect from Sony and then some
Review: I have always bought Sony electronics because they are the best made and most reliable. Unfortunatley I bought a Rio MP3 player before I upgraded to the Sony MS11. First the sound quality is so good you would think you are listening to a CD. The jukebox software that is included makes transfering songs from the net or a CD to the walkman a breeze. It weighs nothing so it is very easy for me to go to the gym and not worry about it getting in the way. You won't be disappointed with this product ( except when you see the price ).

Summary: Love it!!!
Review: I just got this baby today from Amazon Marget Place. I fall in love with it right away. The player is very small, very light, really stylist, and sound great. OpenMG Jukebox Software is very simple to manage. Took me about 5 mins to learn how to import and transfer files. Only drawback is the padded carrying case. It seem to protect the player but you need to take player out to operate. I think it would be nice if it has armband or belt clip.
