"Lacks the one feature I needed most (shuffle)."
Pros: Cheap. Covers most of the basics.
Cons: The shuffle feature doesn't really work!
Summary: I bought this MP3 player as a replacement for my mother's old mp3 player. The one thing she really wanted was an mp3 player that could shuffle songs. I thought this one would do the trick (after all, shuffle is now considered a pretty standard feature), however, the shuffle feature isn't truly random (as another reviewer pointed at). Not only does this player seem to play shuffled songs in the same order every time, it also starts back at the beginning of the "shuffled" song series every time you turn it off!!! In other words, if this mp3 player is on shuffle and it plays songs 5, 8, 44, 132, 2, and then you turn it off, it will start with song 5 again when you turn it back on and continue with the same 5, 8, 44, 132, 2... progression. Ridiculous. I'm really disappointed that Sony couldn't get this basic feature right. If you don't care about shuffle, its probably a decent mp3 player for a novice. I will probably be returning the one I bought.
