...all stacks up.
The Sony E407 has the same memory as the market leader from a fruit named company at 1GB, but when I bought it in April 2006 it was £30 dearer than it's rival's white coloured equivalent memory sized player at £129.99. I bought this for the size, style and quality that I associate with the Sony brand and in this I was not disappointed.
The E407 is very small at around 85mm high, 30mm wide and 14mm thick (3/3/8" x 1/1/8" x 5/16" in ... ...a beautiful thing with what Sony call an 'Organic EL screen' delivering three lines of text so you can view, track title, artist and time of track. The whole of the E407 looks very funky and fresh with the blue EL display, minimalist buttons and cigarette lighter style knob. I believe that the E407 comes with various other screen colours, but I could only find the blue unit. I like the whole look and feel of the E407, its nice The E407 normally sits ...

...it comes with is called Sony Sonicstage. Now I know for a fact Sony are a good company (they made this great MP3) but the Sonicstage software is awful. It is slow at putting songs onto the MP3. It takes ages to load up, and sometimes it decides not to load at all. A lot of the time it can't detect the MP3 player is plugged in. The library where you import songs is too easily filled with memory, you can fit 700 songs onto the MP3 yet you can only ... ...you delete a song from the library, the storage space is still taken up, how mad is that? There are also many other faults with the software. The only good thing is that it converts the song tracks to a smaller storage capacity. It doesn't just muck up on my computer because my dad uses it too on his computer.
As for the MP3, it is very good. There is only one problem with mine and thats the fact that the volume increase button barely works, so ...

...am a true fan of Sony (see my other reviews) and happy to say they have not let me down yet!
Software
My one is actually blue so I guess you can get it in pink or blue. I think blue looks better. But anyway I installed the software which I got with this which is called Sony sonic stage. This is an mp3 jukebox which you can use to mange all your mp3s. It is very simple to use and although it came with instructions I did not need to use them.
Battery
... ...safe. It also came with Sony earphones which are good but not very soft so I may invest in getting some that will fit better in my ear.
The only complaint that I would have is that because it is small the controls are a bit fiddly and I have found myself pressing the wrong button. But a plus about the buttons is that one of them is like the button you get on the side of a watch; when you pull it out you can use all the buttons and when you push ...

...ATRAC file system like all Sony mp3 players which allows for greater compression of your music files with less loss of information & helps you to squeeze nearly twice as many tracks at the same quality if you were using actual mp3 files.
You have the option to search through your music via artist, album or self defined groups which makes finding the track your after very simple. You also have the options of repeat & shuffle playback. The main control ... ...software used by the newer Sony Walkman. It is stable & reliable and has no problems ripping CD's, I don't download music however, as I'm a CD collector but you would need to get a free update for the Sonic Stage program that adds the Connect store to it to do direct downloads. The only issue I have heard of people having is they can find it tricky to get around the copy protection issue, but there is an option to turn this off within the program ...

Advantages: It looks stylish Disadvantages: so small you might loose it!
I bought this for myself before christmas and was so impressed with the overall quality of the product that i went out and bought two more for christmas presents!
The best thing about this mp3 player is the battery life. 70hours! So far i have only had to charge it three times since i got it! It uses a USB connection on your computor to charge. This means no extra costs from buying batteries and also that the time taken to recharge the player is ... ...is charged for 3 hours.
Although this is only a 1GB mp3 player it can still hold 300+ songs. The sound quality from the ear phones is amazing.
The actually software for the pc is Sonic stage. This is a bit fiddly to use and doesn't transfer certain files straight to your mp3 player. I found that i had to even format some mp3 files so the programme could use them and this did take up time, but compared to the insane battery life, this is a small ...

I am just going to list the advantages and disadvantages of this player
This product is tiny and lightweight and has an amazing memory capacity for something so small. It is also very stylish and sleek in a great black design. I think you can also get it in a range of colours. The player has a fabulous LCD screen as well that is very bright and great if you're using your player in the dark! The name of the ... ...long time and I thought Sony could have quite easily come up with something to avoid this problem occurring. But, in the 3 months that I have had this MP3 player I have only had to use the software a couple of times, because the memory is so big.
In general, I would say this is a great buy. I would definately choose this over an ipod all over again. Highly recommended. ...

...player after having owned a Sony Walkman CD player which is still going, and I don't intend to replace this one until it dies! The essential selling point for me was the shuffle function, which seems basic enough but you'd be surprised how many players don't have it. It's reliable, doesn't skip or jog and it's pretty sturdy if dropped on the floor (which happens to me frequently!). The only niggle for me is the 1GB storage capacity, which I thought ... ...This is made easier to handle with the SonicStage software, which will compress any WMA files you have stored on your computer and convert them into mp3 format. This makes the files very small, so you have more storage space to play around with.
This really is a great little gadget. The letdown was the headphones, which had the smallest of small wires linking them to the player, which is annoying if you use it whilst at the gym, for example. But ...

I've had the unit since October and I am very happy with it. It might not have the panache of the ipod nor the capacity of similary priced plays, but Sony have always been renowed for good audio products and that is what you are ...

Bought this product at end of 2005, and since then it has been one of the most important of all my possessions.
As a runner I find it brilliant due its small size. It clips features a clip which allows you to clip it to shorts, top, rucksack etc.
The 1gb version is just the right amount of storage, allowing about 30 albums or so.
It also comes with a good set of earphones, which have a midpoint adaptor which gives you the option of increasing ...

A disadvantage would be that he walkman does not connect directly into the PC, you must use the supplied USB cable. The product is definately worth purchasing, it is light weight and compact.
