 The real reason people are buying these...Sep 27, 2008
Yes, people say wonderful things about this mp3 player. And I must agree. But the real reason anyone bought it is because they like Persona 3 (don't deny it). You can even find it if you search for Persona 3 stuff! Try it. There's no need to be ashamed. In fact, that's why I bought mine. I even hunted down the audio-technica ATH-EM700 SV headphones and had to import them. But enough about my nerdy obsessions. If you're looking for a small mp3 player that works great and is easy to use I highly recommend it. As for right now, I have to Burn My Dread.
Perfect for runningAug 13, 2008
I got this mp3 player for my husband who runs 4 times a week and has already broken 3 other mp3 players. So far he really likes it, it's easy to use and the pedometer function is great for seeing how far you've been. The software wasn't so bad because he had to reload all his music anyway. I can see it would be difficult if you were trying to move from another library. The only problem is the battery keeps running down all the time even when he's not using it. You can't turn it off and something keeps running so you should always check it a little while before you want to use it. Of course it does charge fast but still an off button would have been a good idea.

 Proprietary software is awefulJul 04, 2008
Sony uses proprietary software (ATRAC) to transfer files and play music from the device. Their connect store is now offline as of 3/31/08 and only offer limited support. I could not get passed the "unauthorized transfer" error using their software or Windows Media Player. With WMP it says the files are there but the device will not play them. I would not buy this device!!!!!
Simply AweeeF######ingSomeeee....!!!!!Jul 03, 2008
Well to be honest I was a bit skeptical about buying this product, because of the software problems which has been Sony's Propriety.. :)
But I thought of giving it a try and it performs simply like a Mastero.

Cons
- Software Issues
- Learning Curve
I have this player for the past two days and I simply love it. I agree on the point that the software is a bit buggy but i found the solution online in 5 mins and I was good to go. It takes a day or two to get used to its control but they are.
The Sound quality is superb. Beats a IPOD hands-down. Superior Sony Style and Quality. Just put your songs to the software and it adds to your playes. Sweet..!!!
Haven't tried creating playlists.
Battery life's good. Took 2 hours daily to workout and had to recharge it after a week. Quick charge 3mins for 45 mins of play works as quoted.
Overall an excellent play but I wonder why it only comes in small memory space.
My opinion that if you can put 10 mins you can handle it like a baby.
 Fun player, terrible softwareJun 12, 2008
The player delivers in terms of shape, weight and user-friendliness, but you have to use the Sonic Stage software that it comes with (no easy sync-up with Windows Media Player, or click and drag files). The Sonic Stage software is not intuitive and a real pain in the neck--everything takes longer.
On the plus side, the player is fun to go running with. The headphones it comes with have a pretty good sound, and I've already been complimented on the look of the thing.
