You Spin Me Right Round Baby, Right Round

Advantages: Compact with an excellent battery life and great sound quality, audio cd, mp3 and atrac compatible, the atrac cd creation software is very user friendly
Disadvantages: Atrac software only works on windows pcs, not macs, included headphones feel cheap, doesn’t feel particularly robust

Review of Sony CD / MP3 player

Sony do it again

Advantages: Beautiful, well designed, excellent remote, battery life, features, outputs
Disadvantages: Horrid software, "spin up" time in atrac/mp3 playback could have been better avoided

Review of Sony CD / MP3 player

Lots of features and plenty of battery life

Advantages: Quite cheap, yet good sound quality and range of features.
Disadvantages: Volume doens't go high enough!
