going to purchase this one now!
I have the NW-107 and have for about 3-4 years. It is simple, easy to use, and the sound is great. The battery life is great. I go away on 10 day to 2 week vacations, and usually bring two extra batteries, and usually use the one that's in the unit, and part of another. The reason I need a new one is that this summer, as I floated along in the pool, I got the Mp3 wet somehow, not very wet, but just enough to effect it. The battery goes dead, even when it is off. I go through a battery in a matter if 8 hours. Sad. I got a new Mp3, but you need to charge it on the computer, which is ok, but not if you are off in the caribbean and do not have the lap top, and I am NOT bringing it just to charge my Mp3. So, I am getting the nw-e105ps, it is the newer version of my old one, and I have my fingers crossed it is just as easy and nice!! (back in the day mine was $19.99. I am sure they are exactly the same. I will check back!!!
This MP3's great!
I don't know why people were annoyed with this MP3 player. It has simple instructions to follow, and only 6 steps to do everything. It was easy to intall the program for it, and it transferred my music to the program, which was awsome. It was really easy to transfer my music into it, and it lets you make your own playlists, then transfer them, which is wonderful. It's also great that you don't have to plug it in, you just have to change the battery, which is faster and makes the MP3 last longer. I love that it's a sony too, so I know it'll last a long time. In short, it's a great MP3 player!
A solid little player
I've had this little player for probably 2 years now, and it's always been a very easy to use, dependable and TOUGH little unit. Mine's been left in the car for a week at -40, it's been stuck inside a hot glove compartment for days, it's been dropped, thrown, covered in dirt, all sorts of abuse, and yet it still runs beautifully. one AAA battery can run for 50-70 hours, depending on brand. Can't get much better then that! My ONLY complaint is there's no drag & drop option, you need the program, but thats minor.
As for people saying it won't play certain MP3s, out of all the times I've used it, I've only had that error on maybe 5 MP3s out of hundreds, and sometimes, just RENAMING the file so it's only alphanumeric made it work fine.

to good to be true
plastic casing looks so cheap, earphones looks generic, compared to ipods , quality is incomparable. sonic stage software, is hard to manage, worked fine with windows XP pro, but when updated the ver 3.0 that originally came with the player to ver 4.2 fialed to work had to go back to ver 3.0 and ver 3.0 doesn't work on windows XP mediacenter.
Sound is decent enough but max volume is not loud enough.
Ugh. You can do better for less money....
First and most important, the battery life is NOT, repeat NOT, what it claims to be. The only reason I purchased this thing is because I figured I would save money with the extra long battery life when it came time to purchase batteries. Think again. Strike one.
The sound quality is just plain bad. Most of the time there is an awful hissing noise in the background. I also like my music loud, but at full volume, you won't get eardrum-thumping sound, no matter what phones you use with it. Strike two.
Sony's music connect service is the worst I have ever seen. I purchased an album a year ago and it still can't finish the download. Like a fool, I actually tried again and I still experienced the same problem. Two albums purchased and no music to show for it. MAJOR strike three. This product sucks and so does Sony.
