easy to use

Small Light Great Sound

Battery Life - supposed to be 25 hours- more like 6 Off switch - keeps switching back on

sound quality

switches on by itself can't listen to all the tunes in one folder, if that folder has subfolders. not very user friendly i prefer the other sony mp3 version, smaller and much cheaper.

Difficulty in downloading music. Several CDs come up as a title but try and play them and there's nothing there. Some tracks have loaded but are incomplete. I'd like to know how to use the thing!!!

The sound is great, display is nice and large to see , cover is pretty easy to use buttons super range of colours.

Still been unable to add music while keeping the album title etc displayed. Extra carriers, which I don't mind paying for aren't really helpful for carrying/wearing.

Very, very "fit for purpose".

Sometimes if knocked the machine can turn its self back on using up battery life

Very easy to use and to set up on my laptop

the only drawback for me is that it is missing a some kind of clip which would make it easier to carry around (clip to my belt or pocket) while on the g

Very few

The folders as seen when the unit is connected to a computer do not correspond to the ones on the device. You cannot download podcasts into the podcast folder on the device. The pictures you are given as wallpaper are landscape view but the screen is...

Menus are easy to understand and use. Sound quality good but the supplied earphones lack decent base and I have had to buy better quality earphones.

I put it into a soft case to protect it and it was accidentally switched on. The next time I came to use it, the battery was dead. It should have some kind of lock which prevents it from being accidentally switched on e.g when it is in your pocket.
