 Too bad for AtracAug 04, 2009
Atrac is a far superior file format than MP3, but this plays MP3's too. Too bad Sony didn't just drop the proprietary nature of Atrac.

Decent mp3 player for the priceAug 11, 2007
Though I own a Zen that I use for the majority of my music and some videos, I wanted something more compact that I could easily take with me to school and work, and something that would be less bulky for workouts. This Sony Flash Player has proven to be a great tool. It's highly compact, and yet still holds quite a few songs. It also has pretty good sound quality, though I find the ear buds to be a tad awkward. The USB plug-in makes it really easy to charge your player and load/unload songs at the same time on your computer.
One minor qualm I have with this product is the software. It's not very user-friendly. Furthermore, while I can get the software to work on my HP desktop, I can't get it to work at all on my SONY laptop computer, which I find baffling.
Nonetheless, though I find my Zen to be far superior to this particular player, this one is great for the price, and outstanding if you're looking for something small and relatively easy to use.

 Don't waste money on this oneJun 16, 2007
The included software is very hard to use and most stupidly written. I add wma files to the library and convert them to Sony's supported format. Then I delete the wma files from both computer and library from within the software. The software will delete the converted files also from the computer though they are neither in the library nor in wma format. How stupid can Sony get?
The player sometines doesn't recognize some wma files. All files have to be converted to a different format. The player control itself are hard to use. The player's USB port stopped working within 45 days of purchase. Sony support says that my only repair option is to have the player exchanged with a refurbished one even though the player is under full parts and labor warranty. DO NOT BUY THIS PLAYER.

This is not an MP3 playerJun 15, 2007
Read carefully
I returned my product shortly after purchase.
+ The sound in this machine is pretty good I must admit.
- It is NOT an Mp3 player. I forces you to use a software program produced by less skilled programmers. It flat out refused to work in my computer. Had to resort to "SonicStage alternatives", to load the player.
It's slow
- Loading the player is painfully slow. It takes forever. (One of the alternative programs even warned me before transfering a big chunk of music "Warning this may take a lot of time do you still wish to proceed")
- Wind/Rewing painfully slow.
- You have to sort everything (every track) yourself, I mean it 2007 now.
If you are a user who frequently change your audiofiles in your MP3 player this product is not for you.
Rumor has it that Sony will release a "unlocked" player which will work as a "normal" MP3 player shortly (no SonicStage necessary). I recommend you wait for that one.

 great productJun 12, 2007
I am very happy with my purchase. Easy to use. This is my first mp3 player and I had it half filled the first day. Everything was so easy.
