Sony Walkman Bean NW-E305 (512MB, Coconut White)

Pros: Good Batt, Great Screen, Overall Excellent

Cons: Fm Radio a lil hard to adjust

Summary: I have both the ipod shuffle and the sony bean for full comparison. Ipod shuffle does not work with all computer interfaces, I have yet to have any problems with the sony bean. Secondly these people are talking about how long it took them to transfer music and convert to the bean what memory are your computers running? For me 104 songs at Atrac3 conversion only took 30mintues TOPS with conversion included. Understandbly my computer runs with a 1gig memory. The program does get a little laggy when updating the song list from the player to the pc. But other than that Sony has made a good Ipod shuffle killer.
