Nice Device 
2008-06-16
I have had this player for about a month or so.
Pros: sleek, stylish, ease of use, brilliant screen, the controls are easy to use as well. Battery life is excellent. I haven't had to recharge from zero power yet. I also enjoy using the Napster music service. Its 15 bucks but its cool that you can download as much as you want and put it on your player or computer. You just don't own the music, more like renting it. Also, despite the weak base, the sound is good. The variation from quiet to loud is excellent, I think it goes from 1-30 in volume control. Its small, but constructed well.
Cons: Significant less memory than advertised, inability to delete songs from player itself, smallish screen for video playback, weak base?, lack of accessories. I purchased a Radio Shack amplifier for about 12 dollars, for output so I could listen to it in my office without headphones. It works well.
Overall, I great product, well worth the coin.
Total value and convenience! Great sound!

The Sony 4 GB Walkman player is sleek, small, ergonomic, easy to use, easy to transfer files,easy to hook up and initiate.
In other words; EASY! I choose to use WMA and not MP3 files - can't stand the poor sound quality; although, to be honest - the current MP3 in Vista sounds pretty good. For value, ease of use and quality - you can't beat this little baby.
Small size, great sound 2008-05-27
Plus:
- Very good software, after 2 weeks of use I have no "frozen" screen.
- The volume button is a huge plus.
- Screen resolution is the best.
- Easy to use menu, very intuitive.
Cons:
- Only MPE4 files can be read, and there is no software to convert included in the package (for a $ 120 it's not the best deal)
- There is no way to delete files directly from de player, it's always necessary to connect to the computer.
- If you use de "Windows Explorer" to copy files into the device, the covers of the songs will not appear in the player. You have to use the tool "Sync" in the "Windows Media Player".

Sony 4 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player 2008-05-19
I like the ease of use of this product. The sound is great! The size of the player is good for putting in your pocket or your purse while listening. I like having the radio, too. This way I can listen to the radio at work on the walkman, instead of tying up my computer. The only thing I don't like is that you can't delete songs directly from the player.
Great player but... 2008-07-15
This is a great MP3 player. The sound is great. I have been buying Sony products for years and was not disappointed. But good luck trying to find accessories for it. It does not fit the iPod cases and will not work with speakers for iPods. I finally found a neoprene case for it but had to look in several stores to find it.
Great product 2008-07-07
This is a great option for an audio/video player.
It supports several formats and I love that fact that you can just drag and drop the files into the player with out the need of any proprietary software.
The only two things I wish it would have is a delete option so you need a computer to just delete a few tracks or videos, and that the album cover doesn't automatically loads from the media player when you sync the device.
But overall is a great product.
Great Buy 2008-07-04
The Sony MP3 player was a wonderful purchase. The price was right and I am so happy with all of the features. I found it very easy to use and so far no problems. I think the time between charges has been good. I would recommend this product to my friends. I mostly play music but I do have some pictures on the player and both have been fine uploading and viewing.
My 1st MP3 player...a good choice 2008-06-30
Cons: As others have stated, this player has very few available accessories compared to other players. And its proprietary usb cable is also not a plus. Also cannot delete songs from the player without being connected to a computer.
Pros: Intuitive features, extremely easy to load with music with Windows Media Player 11, attractive, lightweight, long-life battery, great audio quality.
Notes: Video quality is also good but who wants to watch anything on a display this small? I use it strictly for music. This 4GB player holds nearly 900 songs. Headphones sound good but do not like to stay put when I'm biking with this player. I tried two cheapo pairs of headphones, $25 Phillips noise-canceling (SHN2500) and $10 Maxell Peanuts (EB-P412). Both were much worse than the stock headphones.
