Amazon.com Product Description
Weighing less than 1 ounce and featuring a built-in FM tuner with programmable presets, the Sony NW-E005 is the prefect MP3 player for the gym, the daily commute, or traveling. The unit, which offers 2 GB of built-in flash memory, stores up to 1,350 of your favorite tracks--more than enough for most applications. Listeners who already have extensive music libraries can use the included software and hardware to play back their collection of MP3s, while newer listeners will find plenty to like in Sony's ATRAC format, which provides higher sound quality while taking up less space on the flash memory. In addition, the NW-E005 supports the playback of WMA and AAC (non-DRM) audio files, a great feature if you have a large catalog of audio on your PC that was ripped from personal CDs. Navigation is straightforward thanks to the player's one-line, rotating OLED display, which shows the song title, song length, and remaining battery power while swiveling to accommodate both right- and left-handed users. Other display details include a multilingual interface, support for CD text and ID3 tagging, a wide viewing angle, an internal clock, and a calendar. The built-in FM tuner, meanwhile, delivers accurate, drift- free tuning of all your favorite FM stations, with 30 station presets making it a breeze to quickly switch from one favorite to another. And when it comes time to transfer data from your PC to the NW-E005, simply remove the end cap and insert the MP3 player directly into your computer's USB port--no cable required. The NW-E005 comes with a copy of Sony's SonicStage music management software, which lets listeners manage their music, create playlists, burn CDs, import digital files, and easily transfer songs from one location to another. It's also a breeze to customize the sound, with a five-band equalizer that includes heavy, pop, jazz, custom, and manual modes. Additional features include a skip-proof design (the MP3 player has no moving parts), a quick battery charge function that delivers up to three hours of playback with just a three-minute charge, a stylish violet housing, a USB connection support cable for desktops with hard-to-reach USB ports, and compatibility with Sony's Connect Music store. The NW-E005, which provides up to 28 hours of continuous playback per full charge, measures 3.11 by 0.96 by 0.53 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty on labor and a one-year warranty on parts.

 Decent mp3 player for the price August 11, 2007

Though I own a Zen that I use for the majority of my music and some videos, I wanted something more compact that I could easily take with me to school and work, and something that would be less bulky for workouts. This Sony Flash Player has proven to be a great tool. It's highly compact, and yet still holds quite a few songs. It also has pretty good sound quality, though I find the ear buds to be a tad awkward. The USB plug-in makes it really easy to charge your player and load/unload songs at the same time on your computer.
One minor qualm I have with this product is the software. It's not very user-friendly. Furthermore, while I can get the software to work on my HP desktop, I can't get it to work at all on my SONY laptop computer, which I find baffling.
Nonetheless, though I find my Zen to be far superior to this particular player, this one is great for the price, and outstanding if you're looking for something small and relatively easy to use.
 Don't waste money on this one June 16, 2007

The included software is very hard to use and most stupidly written. I add wma files to the library and convert them to Sony's supported format. Then I delete the wma files from both computer and library from within the software. The software will delete the converted files also from the computer though they are neither in the library nor in wma format. How stupid can Sony get?
The player sometines doesn't recognize some wma files. All files have to be converted to a different format. The player control itself are hard to use. The player's USB port stopped working within 45 days of purchase. Sony support says that my only repair option is to have the player exchanged with a refurbished one even though the player is under full parts and labor warranty. DO NOT BUY THIS PLAYER.
This is not an MP3 player June 15, 2007

Read carefully
I returned my product shortly after purchase.
+ The sound in this machine is pretty good I must admit.
- It is NOT an Mp3 player. I forces you to use a software program produced by less skilled programmers. It flat out refused to work in my computer. Had to resort to "SonicStage alternatives", to load the player.
It's slow
- Loading the player is painfully slow. It takes forever. (One of the alternative programs even warned me before transfering a big chunk of music "Warning this may take a lot of time do you still wish to proceed")
- Wind/Rewing painfully slow.
- You have to sort everything (every track) yourself, I mean it 2007 now.
If you are a user who frequently change your audiofiles in your MP3 player this product is not for you.
Rumor has it that Sony will release a "unlocked" player which will work as a "normal" MP3 player shortly (no SonicStage necessary). I recommend you wait for that one.

I am very happy with my purchase. Easy to use. This is my first mp3 player and I had it half filled the first day. Everything was so easy.
