Advantages: easy to use,portable, large storage space

Disadvantages: long transfer times

I have owned this mp3 player for nearly a year now and I think it's a very good system, but there are a few things that really bug me.
The first one is why cant manufactures make thier mp3 players plug and play so if you wanna transfer something you dont have to take your drivers everywhere. The other thing that bugs me about thsis is that is uses sonys ATRAC system meaning that if you want to transfer a file which isnt in that formatt it converts it efore transfering it(which i find annoying if i'm in a rush) and also it can be tempermental about changing details on the memory which is annoying.
I suppose now that the desadvantages are dont this is a very good product because it's tiny and very light weight, and has an incredible sound quality and battery life (though the quality of these thingscant match a cd but i suppose u cant loose size of files and keep quality).
This is a very reliable system and one feature i like is that you can buy an attachment that allows you to add yor own batteries (though finding this is a different matter).
All in all said if you want a good alternative to the weighty ipod and a portable hard drive with good battery like and a name that is very high in the electronics industry with very simple use i would reccomend this product.
