What's great about it: Battery lasts around the 50 hours as advertised
What's not so great: No way to delete songs without connecting it up to the computer
If you're listening to a song and would like to delete it from the player, you cannot just push a few buttons and delete it. You have to physically hook it up to your computer and go into the folder and delete it. Didn't have to do that with my Creative Zen. Also, the cable is proprietary meaning you had better not lose it since it is your only way of getting songs onto and off of the player not to mention charging the battery. Again, the Creative Zen uses the same cable that most USB 2.0 hard drives use, so there are always plenty of spares if the cable should fail. This is why only 2 stars for Features.

What's great about it: Sleek design and very easy to use! i really like the shade of green too!
What's not so great: I wish it had a SD micro card slot for more memory. The power is easily pressed, turns on by accident a bit.
Very much like the set up and its great design. Wish it had an SD.card slot, but great otherwise and gets uses a lot! Great for the money!

I bought this primarily for listening to FM radio while on a treadmill. This does a great job. Will have to enlist the assistance of my niece or nephew on how to rip and burn some of my tunes to it.

What's great about it: Forget about ipods!
What's not so great: Hard to find a good case with belt clip
We use iTunes to manage our music (too many issues with Media Player). The mp3 player comes with the transfer software in the memory. Simply attach the player to your computer with the supplied cord (yes, it's proprietary - it is necessary to connect to their bases and speakers), surf out to the folder using My Computer, copy the file to your hard drive and install (then you can format the player from inside the player to give you back that space and ditch the preinstalled music). The Content Transfer software allows us to drag from iTunes (or Windows) over to the player and the software takes care of conversions, file smooshing, etc. File smooshing, yes, a technical term for reducing an 890 meg, 27 minute video file to 342 meg.
Bookmarking... let me educate you. The mp3 industry does not have a standard on what this means. For Sony, bookmarking marks the track (at the beginning) so you can easily find your favorite song or the chapter you were on in your audiobook easily. Bookmarking does NOT bring you to where you were IN the track. In music, no big deal. In an audiobook with a 30 minute chapter... nightmarish. BUT, don't be discouraged, I found a workaround to make this work BEAUTIFULLY. Read on.
I discovered that if you pause a Podcast, go listen to some music, turn off the unit, do some other stuff and come back to your podcast, you pick up where you left off - no bookmarking required, it just is smart like that. So guess what we did? We went into iTunes and made all of our Audiobooks podcasts (select the files, right click, under Options, change the media type to "Podcast").
There are 2 BIG benefits to having done this: First, I can pause my audiobook and come back to where I was without fast-forwarding. Second, my audiobooks are no longer in the music queue. I can randomize/shuffle ALL of my music and ONLY music plays.
Sure, I know. iPods do this nicer with podcasts being podcasts, audiobooks being audiobooks with pausing and holding your place in the track. Have you looked at the price of iPods lately? Especially when you compare feature for feature, an iPod will run nearly TWICE the cost of the Sony and you get a dinky screen on the Nano (6th gen) and frankly, as I said, an iTouch is overkill (and overpriced).
Other cool features: carrying around photos of my kids, FM radio with preset capability, language learning (if you are studying a foreign language, this ia very cool feature), audio recording for lectures/seminars, or even recording my own audiobook for our 2 year old.
If you aren't looking for frills, but a good solid mp3 player, you have found an excellent choice, and for the price, you can't beat it (besides, with 5 available colors - it is great the kids are never confused as to which mp3 player is theirs!).
I work out a lot and it is hard to find a good case with belt clip. So far this one works and it's cheap on Amazon -> (Clear) Durable Soft Thermoplastic Polyurethane TPU Rubberized Skin Case Cover + Belt Clip + Screen Protector + Fishbone keychain For Sony E Series (NWZ-E463, NWZ-E464 and NWZ-E465) Walkman® Video MP3 Player

I bought this at about a 3rd of the price of the apple product to use for working out. It has been working flawlessly and appears to be a solid piece of hardware. Does what I needed and saved a few bucks as well.

What's great about it: lightweight and sound quality is fantastic
What's not so great: Can't get popular radio stations
Very happy with the purchase, had a slight problem at first with the downloading, probably due to my limited skills, but the music sounds so good now that I know what I'm doing. Not happy with the FM radio, not able to pick up the stations I listen to.

What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: can't listen to audiobooks
I returned because I was dissatisfied with the product. It was easier to use than my Phillips player and I'm sure it would have been more durable than my Sansa player but both of those players play audiobooks and Sony doesn't currently make a player that plays audiobooks. This player didn't have many features like name of song when listening to the radio and other features. It turns on accidently very easily which was another reason I brought it back. Cheaper mp3 players have more features and my Phillips player has lasted me a long time so I'm not likely to buy another Walkman.

What's great about it: Battery life,
When I saw this on sale I jumped on it. I had bought a black one 2 years ago and loved it . I was not kind in return and by spending time near me(biking boating running and others) it eventually stopped working although I really think my 9 year old son broke it.
How could anyone spend 5 times as much for an Apple type does not make sense.

What's great about it: Best audio quality for a MP3 player!
What's not so great: Internal battery... not as easy to replace as the old AAA battery option.
Forget the iPod if you are just looking for playing music. This Sony Walkman MP3 player puts out enough juice to plugin your 'big' headphones, and the clarity of audio from this lil' thing is simply AMAZING!
The 4 Gigs is enough for 15+ full albums, so that's a lot of music! Did I mention the audio quality is SUPERB? The slightly rounded edges are also very nice. Makes having this in one of your front pockets very comfortable.
After using this Sony Walkman, I do not think I will switch brands for MP3 players anytime soon.
Have this paired up with AKG K 240 headphones. Simply stunning sound!
