super thingy works great. however i wasnt sure of what case to get and i got the wrong one!!! i love it. January 10, 2010
FANTASTIC I was going to buy an IPOD but the sales clerk said they were overated and over priced for playing music and videos, so he suggested SONY. I love it!!! The only downfall I have is finding accessories for my player, I know I can order online but that is not something I want to do. I would much rather buy in a store. Thanks Sony for a great product!!! July 18, 2009
great BUT The unit is a good value. The only issue I have the lack of support for audio books July 17, 2009
Great MP3 player ! I love this player, I am not a fan of IPOD (or really any mac products :-P ). I wanted to invest in a good player and one that's easily affordable, without having to add an extra charge to a credit card. Works great, sound quality is awesome, and I rarely have to charge it. I do have one con and one erk (if that's a word). My erk is that there are a few files I have that will play halfway through and then skip to the next track. don't know why, and sony support couldn't help me either. Its only been with one album out of several that I currently have stored, so no biggie. The con is that I wish it either had blue tooth capabilities, or there was a blue tooth transmitter that would work on it. Besides those 2 things I would definitely recommend this to someone looking for an mp3 player other than IPOD. May 30, 2009
