    Does the job! 10 Nov 2010
    I just wanted simple MP3 player that was easy to use whilst I was at work (I'm a cleaner so its allowed!)

    It holds plenty of tunes, the buttons are simple, its easy to navigate your way around and you can create playlists. There is a voice record option but being a bit of a techno-phobe I'm not really sure when or why I would use this?

    The Zap button does seem a little pointless as it just plays an intro from each song on your playlist. Surely you'd just want to play the whole song?

    Good for those people who are a little mystified by all this electronic stuff (my hand is up, and I'm not even 30 yet).

    Sony are as infallible as ever (unlike me, who's spelling probably isn't).

    :-)

    I bought this as a present for my fiancee to replace a creative player. She was keen for a smaller-type player, and as she doesn't use or need video she wasn't worried about this features. But she did want a player to fit in her pocket!

    Otherwise, the player works well and the quick charge feature is good. As it has the USB plug integrated, there's no need to carry a cable around. The 4GB of memory is plenty - as you're only storing music - to avoid repetition and to have music you actually listen to. The screen is clear and the build is solid.

    The only difficulty with this is the physical spacing of your USB ports; there's little space between my ports, so this can block larger flash drives - but this hasn't really been an issue. She's really pleased - and no need for resource hogging software like itunes! It's just drag-and-drop and has a clear battery charge screen on the player itself.

    Well worth the price for a neat, portable music player.
