Advantages: Easy to download music

Disadvantages: Havent found any so far!

I wasn't looking for anything flash - just a straightforward mp3 player with an FM radio, good sound quality and plenty of memory for my cd collection, but I've found that models with loads of memory tend to be of a high spec with video playback, bluetooth etc. which I'll never use. I also wanted an mp3 player that could be charged at the mains as well as via a USB so if I didn't have access to a pc and the battery was low, I could still get to charge it.

I spent ages comparing different brands, models and prices and I found that mp3 players with radios are few and far between and there don't appear to be any mp3 players in the market with tonnes of memory specifically for music and radio so maybe that's something that manufacturers can take into consideration when designing future models for customers not wanting all singing, all dancing players!

The Sony NWZ-A829/B more than meets my requirements.

Although I won't use the video playback feature, there is a sample video included and the picture is so crisp - very impressive!

The sound quality is excellent and you have the option of choosing your own settings which is very useful.

Downloading music couldn't be easier. (Even my computer illerate parents can do it!!) You simply drag and drop using Windows Explorer or syncronize the device with Windows Media Player.

I recommend this Mp3 player everyone, it's awesome!

Summary: Great product, high quality and plenty of space
