Pros: Slim and compact I am sorry but I can't think of 15 good words. Cons: Really the software is the worst ever. I will never buy from Sony again. from Shopping.com

Pros: Sound Quality, Battery Life, Durability, Portability

Cons: Navigation

I tried iPod and compared the quality of sound with products by Sony, RIO, RCA, and others. I personally found that RIO and Sony offered a superior full, rich sound quality than iPod at the same sampling frequency of mp3/wav/atrac file.

Very good quality, sexy design, slim but rock. from Yahoo.com So if you want to play your songs anywhere else, like a CD, you need to keep your MP3s and the SonicStage format. I had a huge problem when my old computer crashed. You have to authenticate your computer & Sony device. I installed the SonicStage software on a new computer, but then the system could not transfer music from the new computer to the player because the tracks on the player were from (the old) another computer. from Yahoo.com good device, bad software. device is user friendly but sonicstage .....:( i really disapointed for buying this sony product just because of sonicstage and atrac3 format. these kind of players should be suitable for all formats, not special one for sony or sthelse. from Amazon.com I usually swear by SONY products, but this time I'm extremelly disappointed. My husband gave me this mp3 player as a gift, paid over $400 when it first came out. from Amazon.com This is a simple to use, great looking DAP with exceptional battery life. If you use Sony's proprietary format, ATRAC, at bitrates equal to or above 132K the sound is outstanding. I've read many of the reviews here and I wonder what player some of these people were using. from Amazon.com So if you want to play your songs anywhere else, like a CD, you need to keep your MP3s and the SonicStage format.
