Prosit's small, easy to plug in, easy to carry when exercising Consit is not compatible with 64 bit windows vista OS. It is also not compatible with windows media player, it will only play songs from Sony Sonicstage software. The earbuds were not of good quality Additional ThoughtsThe one CD that I tried to import would not play either; it may be that it will only play songs downloaded from the Sony website. from Dell.com There was some freeware floating around to replace it. I tried but it is quite buggy to begin with. In other words, if you own a large mp3 library, forget about convenience of drag-and-drop and welcome to the twisted world of Sony/Sonic. I understand that pirated music is a big problem nowdays, but it is not for Sony to decide to curb it via lame hardware implementations. from Amazon.com Cons - No way to use this product without Sony's propietary software, you cannot drag and drop MP3s onto it, doesn't work with Windows Media Player or anything else except SonicStage which is a notorious piece of junk. I hate the idea of installing any Sony software after the spyware stuff they were dropping on peoples PCs a few years ago. from Amazon.com I bought this item, the Sony NW-S203F Music Player , sight unseen, for my wife as a belated Valentines Day gift. I did not realize it at the time that it is not simply an MP3 player. from Amazon.com Also virtually no support acessory wise. If ur arm band is busted or old and nasty, no way to replace it with ease, or in a timely fashion. Have to call sony and pay mula. lame from Amazon.com It converts mp3 into a proprietary format. These files appear to be 2 or 3 times bigger than mp3s, judging by the number of songs need to fill the player up. (100 to a generic 1 gig mp3 player's 400 songs) Essentially, you need to use the Sony software to get the player to work at all. The software, in a word, sucks. from Amazon.com this product is released by Sony last year(i'm not quite clear about this, overall it's just released not long ago). Generally speaking, nice design, nice audio quality and good performance for sporting men. from Amazon.com I was told I if you have weight on any of them, they will stop working. I did have a bag with two beach towels and nothing else on it. That day, this Sony player was 69.95. I went back two days laters (I was told I could just bring back the other one and they would replace it free of charge--no go they changed and said I have to send HipStreet to manufacturer. from Amazon.com You need to install a sony software to upload and dowload music. I didn't liked it. from Amazon.com - No off button is frustrating. Seems to die in my gym bag. - Sony software is a pain. No drag-and-drop directly into folder like other players. from Amazon.com
