This Walkman MP3 player features 8GB* of memory, so you can store your favorite movies and tunes. The large 2" color QVGA screen allows you to easily navigate through functions.

I bought this to replace a 4GB Sansa Fuse that came with Skull Candy earphones in a package, which I, sadly, lost. This unit had twice the storage for the price, nicer screen, and good reviews. I used these predominantly for books on tape. For that purpose the Sansa is a much better choice. First, the Sony loses it's place often. That wouldn't be so bad, but combined with the VERY LAME fast forward on this unit, it's pretty irritating. The FF is a SINGLE speed (slow), unlike the Sansa and Creative units that I've had in the past, where you hold the FF button down and it begins racing through the material.
So the unit is probably great for 99% of you out there who use it for music, but it's a big disappointment for my books on tape usage.
Oh, the headphones sound ok, really. I just can't stand anything but in-the-ear after having Skull Candy. The buds that come with this unit are not the in-the-ear type so I personally hate them, but for they really do sound pretty good quality-wise.
I'm hoping Sony will release new firmware and fix the very frequent (100% of the time if I don't use the unit for like three days) losing my spot in the book and the FF feature deficiency. I dinged the unit in features and durability for this. The physical durability is good, but the software durability is lacking on my unit.
What's great about it: Battery Life, Format Support, Physical Durability, Value, Headphones
What's not so great: Firmware Quirks, Features for Books on Tape, Scratches, Headphones
I would recommend this to a friend!

will my music on itunes transfer to a Zune
My ipod broke, I was told that Zune was beter than ipod. I have about 15000 songs on my itunes, and i need to know if it will transfer to Zune software and hardware.
If you're looking for an ipod alternative, why not explore Sony, Sandisk and Creative, as well as Zune? I personally think Zune is overpriced, and some of the other mid-tier players make excellen products. I would steer clear of "I've never heard of those" bottom tier products, but I wouldn't hesitate to purchase the three brands I've listed.

Which is a better product to buy, IPOD or MP3 Player?
It depends. Do you have and like itunes? If so, ipod is the better choice. Do you want a lot of accessories and functionality. Then choosing ipod will afford you these better than another brand. Are you more comfortable with Windows Media Player? Then choose a non-Apple player and save yourself a few coins. So, hopefully you see that the "better product" really depends upon what is important to you. Good luck!
