General Comments

The equalizer on the Sony NW-HD5 MP3 player can't be adjusted if music files are in MP3 format. Some other functions are only available with Atrac format, which is proprietary to Sony. The included ear buds are not great, and I would recommend purchasing better ones. The Sonic Stage software does not upload cover art for CD's.

In other ways the player is great. It is compact (2/3 the size of an iPod). It is also solidly built, and it produces very good sound quality. The display is not fancy, but the long battery life more than makes up for that.
