    Der Player ist gut zu bedienen und klingt bei ATRAC3plus @256 und @352 durchweg sehr gut. Auch die Unterst tzung von MP3 VBR ist in Ordnung. SonicStage l uft heutzutage nicht mehr instabil und jetzt auch ohne Kopierschutz. SonicStage 4.3 CP ist vollkommen in Ordnung. Das Problem besteht vielmehr in der un bersichtlichen Dateiverwaltung und in der Beschr nkung auf wenige Formate (AAC-LC, HE-AAC v1, MP3 und ATRAC)

    absolute waste of time trying to figure out the software for the Sony NW-A3000. loading the connect software also turns the sound level to zero for all applications on the pc.
    it has put me off sony products for life

    Very complicated to load music on and setup playlists on the Sony NW. You have to set up playlists on your computer only then you can transfer them to the mp3 player. display and menu are too slow and basic.

    The battery power does not last long. charging is very slow and very fiddly.

    I put up with the poor software but it stopped working after 18 months. Both the shop and Sony refuse to help. I don't think spending £200 every 18 months for an MP3 player is acceptable, do you? I'm onto my third letter to Sony but they've washed their hands. I'm hoping to have more luck with the shop I bought it from. If I knew now how poor it was, I certainly wouldn't have bought it. If you do decide to buy one, make sure you take out the longest extended warranty available, regardless ...

    The MP3 player itself is actually pretty good. Its strong, looks cool, has a few little tricks up it's sleeve and most importantly, it does its job. Unfortunately the same can not be said for the PC/Mac software that came with it. Firstly let me just make the point that you HAVE to use this software, there are no alternatives. The software is messy, unprofessional and worst, it is unbelievably slow (I mean snail tied to a boulder slow). Even on a very fast computer once you have managed to load ...

    The Sony NW-A3000 MP3 player is a bit slow to react to control buttons, and the menu system is not the easiest to use. The display is a joke! It needs to be LCD, not LED, but once you're in, the sound is superb! People have complained about the software, but the truth is, if you're loading CD's in it's easy. Any other source, such as tape, Mini Disc or Vinyl etc is a real pain.

    I am very pleased with it, but it was expensive.

    First off, this is my first mp3 player so I have nothing to compare it to other than my experience of friends' players. On the whole i am extremely pleased with the Sony NW-A3000 player and I would recommend it to others. First impression are important and this is a great looking piece of gadgetry. The colour is deep and doesnt scratch easily (still no visible marks except finger prints, even after over a year). The screen looks excellent and the information on the display is clear and bright ( ...

    This Sony NW-A3000 was a Christmas present I received in 2005 after I earlier dropped and lost my Creative Zen Touch on a tram. Having seen the adverts for the 'Walkman' on TV and knowing the quality in Sony products that I had used in the past, it seemed an ideal replacement...hmmm.
    The unit itself is very pretty and sleek, like the new pebble-style mobile phones in appearance and lighter than the Creative Zen that it replaced. With a good battery life from a small recharge time. However, the ...
