It looks the job
Superb sound
Good battery life
Too many options making it very confusing to use
Unable to see the screen in ordinary daylight
Have got to use rubbish software
Bought sillicon case but can't attach 'input' plug when fitted
A while back I wrote a glowing review Sony NW-A1000, but can honestly say now I wished I'd never bought it! It's basically the points I wrote in the Bad point bits above. Whilst they may seem trivial, they're not.
I've heard quite a few folk saying the software is rubbish and yes, I can now quite agree. The software disk you get with the player crashes your pc, the inital sonic stage software you could download, although aged, worked, but Sony in their pearly wisdom have brought out new software to use, which is rubbish too, plus you have to download a firmware upgrade so you couldn't go back to the old software even if it was available!
I'm now in the situation where Sony themselves have washed their hands of my player and am hoping the Sony shop will refund my money as I've got many albums on my pc but can't transfer them over.
Yes, I'm unhappy-sorry folks-but beware! its a very expensive mistake. Good luck to those who love it.
