- better interface than Ipod!
I had a 80GB Ipod and returned after a week. I had previously own a Sony and found it to have a friendlier interface so I returned the Ipod and purchased this 16GB Sony. It has a higher quality of sound. The battery life exceeds the Ipod. The earbuds are 10x better than the Ipod's. The Sony's disadvantages are the price per GB and the volume doesn't go nearly as loud as other players I've heard. In the end, I don't think I'll ever buy anything else but a Sony.

- Wonderful Little Mp3
I was looking for a little mp3 player for an overseas trip; so long battery life, enough memory space to keep me entertained and nice video capability were what I was looking for.
This little guy had all that and more. It was in the running with Zune, iPod and the Walkman with an FM radio tuner. What sold me was battery life, screen size and that I never really listen to the radio. Since not many seem to have reviewed the video/picture viewer capabilities I will. The picture for video is gorgeous ... Read More

Rating: - Love the player, hate the uneven earbuds
My first review and I'll keep it short. It's an excellent mp3 player, photo viewer and video player. Great sound and battery life. My only complaint is the uneven cord length to the earbuds.Sony and Amazon don't show a photo of this part of the earbuds, so most people are unaware of this design feature. I'll have to go buy me a normal earbud to go with this player.
Rating: - Great player!!
I previously owned a 4gb Sony player, but found I needed more space.I really liked the 4gb, and decided to go with the 16gb. What a great player!! The sound that comes out of this player is exceptional, the earbuds don't fall out, and you have a lot of choices in customizing your music. The battery life is good as well. If you want a player that is easy to use, has GREAT sound, and long battery life don't look any further. I don't do video, so I can't give any opinion in that area.
