"695 songs in 1 Gig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

by farrid on September 17, 2005

Pros: Number of songs/Battery life/FM tuner/Quick internal battery charging/No wires, USB plug built right in.

Cons: No talk of FM record or voice rec./No talk of AC cord for charging
Summary: Sony's ATRAC3plus format sounds great and shrinks the size down to at least half the size of an MP3. You need an LCD or OLED to see what folder of music you are choosing. The only reason I would buy a shuffle is because I was a blinde consumer.

If there is one thing a portable music player should be able to do is to make playlists while on the go. I have to spend enough time at my computer and to think I would have to sit there and organize playlists for say a workout or jog? I don't think so. I put all the artists together in there own folders and would like to take the wildest songs of each to make a playlist for my workout. Come on Sony your slouching. This is my only complaint about any portable player.
Because of the battery life and number of songs sony can crunch into that little thing when compared to the rest of the flashed based mp3 market, I am staying with my rating

If Sony did not put FM record in this player because they are so set on making the public purchase their music than I will be using this reason to not buy a sony player with FM tuner until they see the light of day. I-Pod is no better with not including an FM tuner for the very same reason. I resting my faith in Creative to come out with the perfect 10 I have been waiting for.

Again would be nice to sort by Artist or Gender, but looks like I said earlier. You will have to take the time to make organized folders the way you want them, at your computer.
