Small, rugged (metal case). Aesthetically pleasing, and superb sounding. Astonishing battery life! Simple, intuitive drag-drop addition (using mp3 file manager) of songs.
Can't see the display in bright sunlight, MP3 files with a blank ID3 tag get a garbled mess for a track and artist name rather than
This player is awesome! It's very small but has a zinc die-cast case, making it pretty rugged. The battery life is amazing at 50hrs and the charge time is miniscule (30 min for 80% charge). R & D money well spent, Sony! And the sound quality is spectacular, even without any enhancement (just flat sound) it sounds better than any iPod I've ever heard! The display is really crisp and bright for something so small. And amazingly, they've stuffed a "search" feature into this thing.....
The drag and drop MP3 File Manager program is really neat too, it installs on the flash drive of the player so it goes wherever you go, allowing you to add music to the player from whatever computer you may decide to plug it into. For some reason though, if you have an MP3 file that has a blank ID3 tag, that is no song/artist info the player will display a bunch of nonsense gobbly-goo for a track and artist when you get to that track. It SHOULD simply say "unknown" or ideally display the filename for you.... That is my one beef with this player. Aside from that it's amazing. I HIGHLY recommend it!
