I bought this MP3 player more than a year and a half ago and I have been using it quite a bit ever since. It has exceeded all my expectations, and I am very happy with it. I even bought an extra two-year warranty thinking that any piece of portable electronics is likely to have some kind of problem within two years, and then I will be provided a new one after it breaks. Well, it looks like I'm going to be out that extra money, because it still works perfectly despite falling a few times from tables and chairs, etc.
I have looked at videos and photos on this player, but the screen is a little small to really enjoy. The quality is pretty darn good for a 2-inch screen, but it's still a 2-inch screen. So I use it almost exclusively for audio -- mainly for listening while commuting, walking or jogging. It is perfect for that.
The sync function works great with Windows Media Player 11. The battery life is good for at least eight hours of audio even after 1.5 years of steady use. The sound is really wonderful, although playback is so sensitive that the defects in low bitrate MP3s are more obvious than on other players I've used.
The only big downside is the proprietary cable. Sony loves proprietary formats that no other companies use (they won't even put firewire on their computers -- they use a lame powerless version of it instead). So if you lose the cable, you have to go find a replacement and pay a premium. I wish Sony would just use a mini USB cable, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
But I haven't lost or damaged my cable yet, so my experience has been entirely pleasant. I can highly recommend this player, and when I go to buy my next one, Sony will be high on the list of the products I consider.
