Sony NW-E507 Network Walkman (1GB)

Pros: Direct drag-n-drop of MP3 files from Windows Explorer. No installation required,

Cons: Minimal song management features.

Summary: Other users have mentioned all the good bits about the player like great sound, cool looks, etc., but the major gripe seems to be the Song Management Software (SonicStage).

So I would like to share my little "discovery" on Sony Support website that they do provide a small utility for drag-n-drop support of MP3 files from Windows Explorer directly to the Network Walkman series. Transfer is faster than iTunes

Another amazing thing about this utility is that it actually resides on the player itself (less than a song's worth of storage), so I can run it from ANY computer I plug in to.

With its small program size, it inevitably has very little song management features. So I just use Windows Explorer to edit my IDTags on my MP3 directly. (You can do this by right clicking on the MP3 and select Properties, then go to the Summary Tab and click the "Advanced" button at the bottom, then double-clicking the fields like "Title", "Genre", "Album", etc., to edit.)
