I bought this thing a couple months ago and now is dead, that’s all I have to say.

Got this player about a month ago, and while it seems very solidly put together, it doesn’t seem like much thought was put into the “software” that runs on the player. Examples:
>
- fast forward and fast rewind feature is pathetic; holding down the button for a longer time doesn’t increase the speed of the ff/fr search, it just continues to search at the same slow speed. Pathetically slow, for any track longer than a minute or two. <
- When you’re listening to a track, total track length isn’t displayed, nor is a countdown to the end of the track. All that is shown is how much time has already passed on the track.
- Can’t create playlists on the fly. That is, there’s no way to “add to playlist” when you’re listening to a different song.
Ridiculous shortcomings, in my opinion. No excuse for any of them.
On the plus side, I have to say that I like the option of searching through music as it’s organized in folders on the device, rather than having to use the tag structure. It’s nice to have both options available, which, as far as I know, is not an option on ipods.
I’d give this 4 or 5 stars if I had any confidence that Sony would issue a firmware update addressing the shortcomings described above, and others listed in other people’s comments. It’s well-priced, feels solid, looks flashy. But internal design is poor…

Nice MP3 Player for the beginner.
Hard to control what goes onto it if you are using Windows because everything that is in your Music folder gets dumped into it whether you want it or not.
Then you have to go into the player to delete things you don’t want. But the next time you try to add something, everything gets dumped back in again and it deletes things that you have removed from your Music folder (to save space on your hard disk).
Perhaps I’m not using it correctly but the pdf instructions are very vague and it is hard to locate the problem you are having.
Overall, it is pocketable (I haven’t tried the earbuds because I prefer a Sennheiser soft headset.
If you have large thumbs, avoid this.

Purchased NEW 12/01/2009
Problem: After multiple attempts reformatting and updating software and using content transfer sound comes out fine for a little while and then like a CD skipping it hiccups out music.
Scam: MFC-Sony warranty NO cost replacement only good for first 90 days-then 29.99 for a re-furbed unit.
Solution- don’t buy Sony walkman products, guess Apple still kills everything else out there I own two Gen 5 Ipods and no problems
