Reasonable mp3 player

 

"Seems way better than an ipod. Bought a zen mosaic 2 days before and took it back the next day due the sound quality being less than average. The only thing is the sony seems very quiet and when you choose a eq setting the volume lowers even more....

very is to use

can`t seem to get a loud enough sound from it with other headphones

Great with Rhapsody To GO

Easy set up, awesome podcasting software.

No expandability such as Sansa Fuze

Very Nice MP3 Player

 

"As this is my first flash based MP3 player, I'm not sure if it's common or not but every time I either turn it off or don't use it for a while it has to "create library" While it is doing this the player can't be used. This only takes about 10 seconds...

Excellent sound quality

Has to "create library" frequently
