I need to be kinder than my initial take.
Hardware-wise, this player is pretty close to ideal. Sound quality is excellent, interface is good, battery life is outstanding.
The software was bloated, slow and disappointing but in the end it did work and we could move folders from Windows onto the player without having to use music management software.
The big complaint was you couldn’t get that simple functionality without about an hour’s worth of rigamarole:
1) Windows Media Player 11
2) A hog music management program from Sony
3) Windows Net Framework 2.0 (another hog that will take you half an hour to install)
4) Quicktime for Windows (a true piece of Malware from Apple that tries to take over your computer by installing itself as the default application for just about every file format under the sun)
Why can’t I just install this little thing’s drivers and drag and drop mp3 files to it. You can do that with Creatives and Sandisks, but not with Ipods and (apparently) Sonys.
Why do makers of music players feel they’re entitled to take over your system?

I bought this to work with Audible Audiobooks I planned to buy from Amazon and then discovered that it wouldn’t work with your Audiobook supplier – Audible. I thought mp3 was mp3 and apparently that is not so….

This is a great MP3 player for the money, the noise reduction ear phones are not to shabby either.

I just bought this 8G MP3 player for $99 + $4.95 shipping on Dec 25 and received it today (Dec29). I only spent one hour on software installation and loading music and the little thing already have 500 songs loaded.
When I turned the noise cancellation on without music, it actually works and blocks out all backgournd noise as my Bose headset does (however, Bose unit is much comfortable due to high quality headset instead of earplug).
Not to mention when I turned on music, I was totally amazed with the song quality playing out from the player. It’s really an excellant buy with great quality music and video image. I will highly recommand this player to anyone who is looking for inexpensive player with great quality. Try it out and you will love it!!!

WOW! I can’t say enough good things about this mp3 player! I’ve had probably 30 mp3 players in my lifetime and this one is 10 times as good as the next closest contender! I’ve had every Ipod available, just about every Creative mp3 player, Irivers, Rios, Sandisks, etc, over the years. None of then compare with this mp3 player! It has probably 10 times as good as sound as then next best (Ipods) but doesnt need the nasty Itunes program to load songs, and the battery lasts 33 hours compared to maybe 10 for mmost Ipods. But besides the far better sound (the stereo separation and bass sound are unbelievable!), and the 3 times longer battery life, the part I like the best is the menu system! This is the menu system I’ve been looking for for years! It has a folder system, where you can store songs like you would on your hard drive. You drag and drop certain songs in a folder, and play the songs in that folder. Simple, and perfect! On my other mp3 players you have to search through hundreds and hundreds of songs, make one playlist, and then play the songs.
I just bought the 8gb brother of this Sony and I’m selling all my other mp3 players! Two Sonys should do it, although I’m keeping my Ipod Touch, basically for the internet connectivity feature of it.
