Advantages: Great sound quality, solid build, intuitive

Disadvantages: Volume cap, Mac ejecting issues

I have now had this MP3 Player for around 10 months. I am rather happy with it in honesty! There is a really annoying beep sound when you click a button to select something and I was glad when I managed to turn the damn noise off! Transferring songs to it was a breeze! It worked perfectly for drag and drop and plays both wav and mp3 files well. I did however find that when connected to my Mac it will refuse to eject no matter what i do although it ejects fine on Windows. This has only caused an issue with the player once though and to fix it all i had to do was plug it back in. The menu system is very intuitive and setting up the player how i wanted it was relatively simple. The button system is also brilliantly simple and I love the Mickey mouse look of it. The audio quality is brilliant and the sound very clear, the only issue I have with the audio is the fact that Sony have strictly followed EU law and imposed a spectacularly low volume cap which unfortunately cannot be hacked as of yet. Overall I would reccomend this player to music lovers everywhere who don't want to pay a premium for an iPod but still want great sound.

Summary: A great MP3 player that is more than worth the money it costs
