Comments about Sony 8GB E Series Walkman Video MP3 Player (Red):
Listening to podcasts. Fantastic battery life, easy to use, clear display. I don't like the any button on system. Means that just knocking a button turns the player on. Prefer a dedicated on / off button. Otherwise, great player.

Comments about Sony 8GB E Series Walkman Video MP3 Player (Red):
I use this to work, to listen to radio, mp3 songs but never to watch at video.
I like the size but hate its cover: it scratches too easily. Put an armor around it or use something else to cover the plastic.
You can scratche the lcd screen with your nail if you want, so be careful.
I had an old Samsung mp3 player before with only 1Go so to me, it is definitely a progress.

This MP3 by Sony is a winner. Easy to use, lovely color (red), and I can find any of the songs, albums or artists that I'm looking for very easily. In addition, all the information you need to know about each song is at your fingertips. Highly recommended.

Comments about Sony 8GB E Series Walkman Video MP3 Player (Red):
I bought this unit as a Chtristmas present for my 9 year old daughter and we love it. I think the price/performance ratio is great: it is well designed, build quality is good, the included software is light and easy to use and the sound quality is better than my 5th gen iPod. We add music by simply dragging into the no frills content transfer software window and my daughter creates her own playlists using winamp. On the downside it will not play DRM prtected content.

Comments about Sony 8GB E Series Walkman Video MP3 Player (Red):
I use this product to play back music, audio books and language lessons. It is simple to download materials from the local library (e.g. audio books, language lessons) and transfer them to the Sony Walkman. The controls are easy to see and use and FM reception is excellent. Very much worth the price.

Comments about Sony 8GB E Series Walkman Video MP3 Player (Red):
It is not the lightest or smallest. But comparing with the previous model the whole unit seems bigger. I guess the battery is bigger so it can play 50 hrs. I have a hard time deciding whether to buy the old model with 16GB and speaker. I finally bought the new model because I trust Sony must have upgraded something. Overall I like the unit. The FM radio is very good and sound quality likewise. Actually I prefer its old fashion scroll lines rather than the ipod touch screen. There are a lot of functions that I never use and seems every time when it is connected to the computer it will sync with wmp by itself. I am still trying to figure it out. Bottom line, I would recommend it just for its sound quality.
