I love my little bean

This is my first MP3 player and I think it is great. Especially if you are going to the gym or even in the car on long trips. The battery life is so long. Plus it is very durable. I have dropped this thing so many times but it is a sony you cant go wrong.
The one thing that is annoying is the display is small and you can scroll through other music to see what you want to listen to with out changing the song that is playing.
I love the fact that there is no actual battery you plug it in to a usb on your computer and it charges right up.. no problem.
Another downside is you have to use the software Sonic Stage to transfer your music to the mp3 player. Really though the software is pretty user friendly. The nice thing though is you can transfer any type of music file, CD or MP3 and it plays great.
This little player is great for a gym juncky or a music lover

Sound is great, volume is good...Over all it is a good little player. Plus with 2gigs of Memory I have a ton of music at my finger tips.
