I like hearing to the music and this is the way I found sony player. it is the best way to listen to the music . the sound outup is the best equalised in the device to enjay the sound. it is easy to use and handle. their is no question for the bateery and itsuse. the ipo also has other function like sound recording and games and many more . if you love hearing the music you most definitly have one. the value of this is a bit high but it is ok when you use such brands
