Got this player about a month ago, and while it seems very solidly put together, it doesn't seem like much thought was put into the "software" that runs on the player. Examples:
- fast forward and fast rewind feature is pathetic; holding down the button for a longer time doesn't increase the speed of the ff/fr search, it just continues to search at the same slow speed.
- When you're listening to a track, total track length isn't displayed, nor is a countdown to the end of the track. All that is shown is how much time has already passed on the track.
On the plus side, I have to say that I like the option of searching through music as it's organized in folders on the device, rather than having to use the tag structure. IT's nice to have both options available, which, as far as I know, is not an option on ipods.
I'd give this 5 stars if I had any confidence that Sony would issue a firmware update addressing the shortcomings described above, and others listed in other people's comments. It's well-priced, feels solid, looks flashy. But internal design is poor...Get more detail about Sony Walkman E-340 Series 16 GB Video MP3 Player (Black).
