Fairly good June 19, 2008

I bought my sony mp3 directly from the sony online shop. It came quickly and for a few months It was ace I had no problems. After the few months I noticed the battery life wasnt lasting very long. I have hardley used it since as Ive gone back to using the CD player lol. It is a lovely lookin and easy to use mp3 player but it does have its faults.
 Second Sony MP3 player that has broken February 22, 2008

I bought one of these in Currys and it died after six months. I couldn't charge it at all. Took it back to Currys and they said that as it was discontinued all they would do is give me a similar one - they offered 1GB when mine was 8. Clearly their one year guarantee isn't worth much,let alone the three year one which I had foolishly paid for.
I sent it back to Sony for repair and they sent a bill for 30 saying it was my fault it had broken as it had had water damage. The walkman had been nowhere near any water and hadn't even been to a humid country so this is nonsense. But I have to pay 30 for them to look at it apparently. Needless to say I won't be paying 30 to get a broken Walkman back. The other MP3 Walman I bought previously also died after about a year as well, with no explanation.
Sadly I feel I now have to resort to buying an iPod. I have resisted this as I have always felt that the success of them was down to excellent marketing rather than quality, and had believed that Sony was bound to get it right. How wrong I was...
Oh and the software is irritating as well, yes..

This mp3 can be annoying as many people say with the font being too big which makes the viewing hard etc. But i think all that can be forgotten because sony's compression of songs to Atraac3plus is great, i currently have just over 2000 songs on this player and still have 3gb of memory left to add to.
Player great, Sonicstage software rubbish October 31, 2007

I've owned my A1200 8gb now for 18 months or so. The sound is good, but the supplied headphones are rubbish. The display on the unit is really too small. Browsing your albums is tedious, as the font is too big and titles tend to run off to the right. So it's a bit irritating to say the least.
Sadly the biggest let down is the software you have to use to load your tracks to the unit - SonicStage. It is truly terrible, even the latest v4.3. Worst still, the tracks are always converted to Sony's proprietory format (AAC) and, worse still, you can't unload the tracks from the unit.
I would not buy one of these units because of SonicStage. If you could drag/drop MP3s then it would be fine.
NW 1200 - Not good, not bad - a bit of both September 19, 2007

I've read mixed reviews of this product, including one gentleman who couldn't find the hold switch over its years of use and slammed the unit for being accidentally switched on.
The player itself is of good quality - it looks nice, comes with a USB lead that also fits into a wall charger, and has nice sound quality. There's actually a problem with the iPod's audio design where when driving headphones it doesn't produce proper bass - Sony have avoided this trap with their 30 years of portable audio experience and pioneering of the Walkman portable tape player.
The big letdown is the awful software - depending on your setup you'll find that it's glitchy or just plain unusable. Even Sony tell you the Connect software is discontinued and to use the newer Sonic Stage application. As such, if this player was supported by iTunes or - best of all - if you could drag and drop in Windows Explorer, it would be a good 4 or 5 stars. As such, the software is that bad that it drags it down.
A handy feature of this player, and many like it, is that you can use it as a portable drive - for this feature you do drag and drop, although like the iPod, you can't play audio files transferred in this manner.
in summary, it's nice quality - although the supplied headphones are weak - and downloading the Sonic Stage software is an improvement. There's also third party software out there, like pretty much every other player, but that's for another review.
