1.0 out of 5 stars Worse piece of crap you could buy, May 24, 2005

This product will not let you drag and drop mp3 files into the mp3 player like every other mp3 player on the planet. It makes you convert your mp3 using their software to do it. Most of my mp3 library will not transfer over. I bought a Scandisk and every file went in with no problem and plays great. Sony if you were trying to make a product that sucks, well you succeeded.

Every functions are fine. Just like a new one. The only missing is a screw to fix the mp3 in the belt, not a big problem.

I have owned 3 ipods none of which worked as well as this little unit and if this lasts like my other Sony gear it will not end up as a broken piece of junk in a drawer like my overrated ipod's have .
