MP3 Players > ATRAC3 plus MP3 Players

  A BIG missed opportunity. Sort it out Sony!!!

Advantages: 'Better than iPod' design. 'Better than iPod' look. Battery life (20-25 hours). The entire piece of hardware!
Disadvantages: The abysmal almost unusable software.

I would love to write this review in two parts - and about two separate products. On the one hand - we have the hardware, and then the other hand we have the software. Now most sensible manufacturers will make sure that the software runs with the hardw ...

Sony NW-A3000 Black Hard Drive audio player

Advantages: Sounds amazing, looks cool, clear screen, easy to use, feels good, good weight
Disadvantages: No support for ogg, connect software is useless, slight hesitation on menus, no remote

NW-A3000

Advantages: Great looks and sound
Disadvantages: Software a bit slow

...this for Christmas from my wife. Knew she was buying me a Sony player but was expecting the NW-HD5 so this came as a real surpise. This is my first foray into the world of MP3 players so can't compare with other items, but this is definitely worth ...
