For anyone who intersted in the currant mp3 craze this is a must, yes a expensive bit of kit
but if the music costs nowt then who cares.

This is the first MP3 player I have ever owned. I also have a Sony Vaio. I like Sony products and buy them all the time. I admit, the software that is set up for this unit is easy to use but limited to Sony products only. I have not downloaded any music from the online site to put into the memory of the MP3 player. But, a friend emailed a song to me in MP3 format and Sonicstage (Sony's software) would not let me open it to transfer. I have to look into this. I have been transferring songs to the unit buy recording from Cd's to my hard drive using the Sonicstage software and then transferring the songs to the unit. It takes 2mins per song if that! Really cool.

I like the small design. It looks and feels nice. Only problem is there are some function buttons on the side that are really small and to click them you have to examine them closely and then hope your finger pushes the button when you press.

The LED is cool lighting up blue and it will scroll the music information (song, title, album, genre, artist, time remaining, speed recorded) if you program it before recording with Sonicstage.

The USB plugs right in and no problems with the cover that is metal and easy to open/close.

Battery time could be an issue. I might buy an extra battery just to have two in case one dies. I have another memory stick on order but figure this: I put 12 song on the card I have now and recorded them at medium quality (105 bpm) and I still have 84MB of space left on the card.
