Rating: Summary: Great Product except for the batteries Review: This has been a great mp3 player. My only complaint is that the batteries die in about 2 days whether you use it or not. This happens because if you throw it in you bag the button that turns it on is easily bumped (even in the case) and you end up with a dead battery. Other than that it is a good product.
Rating: Summary: Depends on what you're looking for.. Review: This is a fantastic product -- but it's not for everyone. If you're a big MP3 fan and have hundreds (or thousands) of MP3s, then this may not be for you. While Sony says that you can play WMA and MP3 files on this 'Walkman', you really have to convert it to ATRAC format using their software, first. If you don't mind converting to ATRAC from MP3 (the quality is similar, if not better), then this will work -- but chances are you probably don't want to go through that process. However, if you're looking for a small, sleek, portable player that you can load several of your CDs to: this is the product for you. Pop a CD into your computer, tell the softeare to convert it, and then just choose what songs you want on the Walkman. The sound quality is great, and the physical product is top of the line. The software could use a little work, but for the most part is solid (I wouldn't want to run it on an outdated computer, though).
Rating: Summary: excellent Review: This player is excellent, it is very small, and the sound quality is very good. Transferring songs is so simple and the battery life is suprisingly good as well, and because it comes with a charger and the battery is easily removed its easy. If you are looking for a player that will hold hundreds of songs this is not for you. With the 128 card i can get a maximum of 40 songs on the player. While this is dissapointing, the quality and the size make up for this inconvience.
Rating: Summary: Great, but with one or two prblems Review: This product is easy to use and sounds really good. It's the best on short flights or excercising, but the battery doesnt always charge when left in the charger overnight. There is no light on the charger to tell if it charging... Sometimes I will leave it in the charger all night and in the morning 50/50 chance its charged.... Also the fact I have to use Sony's software to load songs on id kind of a pain as it isnt that well thought out...
Rating: Summary: Very Cool Review: This thing is amazing the converting is not hard at all. The loof is great, and the quality of the sound is fantastic. This is definetly the MP3 system to buy
Rating: Summary: A bit fragile for everyday use, joggers/gymers should pass. Review: Well I want to say Sony has some good points for this device and then Sony has some action items they need to work on. First off price is a concern (I think Sony is asking too much) for me becasue MP3s and multi format devices can be really cheap, so why would Sony charge more? Is it worth it? Well I suppose all the features, support, and life of the device would tell you that. JOGGERS/GYM/ACTIVE ONES - I found this device to have a below average build and durability. The reason I say this is because I take pretty good care not to be too hard, but you know you have to recharge the battery and swap cards. Well the battery door plastic clasp broke which holds the battery in the device. This happend 3 months out of warranty, Sony wanted $59.95 for repair (not with parts). So you could maybe buy another player for that cost. Mind you I was not throwing this around, dropping it, I was pretty careful, so this just came from everyday wear and tear. I use tape now to keep the battery door closed which doesn't always work and makes the player stop working. Yes I admit you see Sony and think OH I feel safe with their quality, support, etc. but I shall warn you that this device is not very durable. Yes you are getting a slew of features and formats, but be sure you realize you need to factor you are risking this breaking after a few months use I would say.
