Pros: Sexy form factor. Cons: Software is nearly unusable, which cripples the user's ability to enjoy favorite tracks and albums. The Bottom Line: Until Sony fixes its unusable SonicStage software and the search software on the player itself, my recommendation is to avoid this player, depite its elegant appearance and great battery life. from Shopping.com My sister used to work for Sony and had given my son this player as a gift. I bought one for two nieces later as well as for my husband, and this is a good little player. from Overstock.com Excellent design from Sony. Extremely easy to use even witth the required Sonic software. from Cnet.com Pros: Music sounds great! I love the volume controls on top, and the size. Cons: The software and player will NOT allow you to transfer library e-books. from Shopping.com I've been searching to buy it for some time since it is obsolete :( Pros: + Excellent sound quality + Strong undistorted signal from Amazon.com I GOT THIS WALKMAN TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO WHILE I RUN. THIS WALKMAN SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. from Amazon.com I purchased this item to listen to FM radio or music while running. The wire for the ear buds are incredibly short, and so I clipped the unit to the collar of my tee shirt. Sweat got on the case and the thing quit working within 30 minutes. from Amazon.com First, the pluses: The simple elegance of this player, combined with amazing battery life, provide a product that's easy to use and nice looking. The downside? from Amazon.com I have to say I was a little leary when I read the reviews of how bad the software was for this product. Then I read farther and found out that on the Sony site they have a link to put a better version of software on the player. So, I bought the MP3 player and let me tell you. from Amazon.com I've purchesed this item little more than a week ago (mostly because it was cheap). I have to say it works great, and even though everyone said not to use the software it comes with, I gave it a try. I don't know why people don't like it, it's very simple and easy to use. from Amazon.com
