"best value choice" on by skintalk
Pros: small, solid sound, good features
Cons: fiddly buttons
Summary: this small player (256mb) is the proof that
sony can deliver a quality player for little money.
supplied software (sonicstage) is stable
and comprehensive, imports can be folders/cd's with link to database for auto/trackname. playlists can be made
(and selected on the player by setting it in group mode). the imports are transferred
in sony's native atrac3 format, a full 256mb transfer takes up 8 mins.
the bitrate of the atrac format is selecteable.
the soundquality is very good from 132 kps
onwards and the supplied earphone is better
than avarage, with solid bass and good
stereoimageing.
if the player now has a long life it diseves a 10, nice one sony! -
"Stylish And Nice Sound" on by Yashar_sut
Pros: Stylish-well built-sound quality-ability to compress songs with SonicStage
Cons: expensive-SonicStage-hold switch hard to operate
Summary: this is my first mp3 player and i just chose it after a good research over net and considering my budget.at first wanted to buy an iPod but considering the fact that,going to buy a PMP in near future,decided to go with flash-based players and also lower the price as much as i can my choices now become:creative zen n200-Shuffle-NWe100 series.considering shuffles lack of features my main choice became N200 because of low price and featured-pack package,but when i saw all those awfull ratings reviewers gave it and seeing it at store i went with my last choie:NW-E103 cause it has the nearest price to N200 and never go back.
and now my expressions:
after i got it,i must say it is very beautiful and stylish(i picked the one with Orange color)to hide in your pocket!and also very small.sound quality is extreme as expected from sony products dont let other reviewers confuse you,it IS excellent.
and for the software side you can either Drag&Drop by updating mp3 file manager to v.2.o or using sonicstage 3.0-i must say after reading all those reviews which say it is a crap i found it very useful and also beautiful UI you can with a little effort import all your library and(you must rearrenge it) and then transfer them.you can also convert your songs to atrack3/plus and reduce their size so that you can double or triple your players space,wich i find very nice and useful,you can play with the settings and choose the bitrate that best suits you-in most cases you cant tell the diffrence after compression.
the unit itself is well-built and can last a long time.face plate buttons are very intuitive and nice my only compliant is the usb cover and Hold switch wich are not that easy to operate and wish it had 512mb or 1gb thats why i gave it 4 stars.
over all very happy to buy it and recommend it. -
