OK, I'm completely new to MP3/4 players so it's easy to impress me. However, the quality of this little machine is amazing. Easy to navigate, battery lasts ages and drop and drag software a doddle to use. Quality of video clips is superb and I've already watched a BBC i-player download on it.
Only slight negative? The earphones that came with it. Might be my ears are weird but I quickly bought a pair of Sennheiser C300s which sound much better and the noise cancelling feature isn't a big loss.
Overall? Completely recommend.

Throw away your ipod, this blows it out of the water. Use with good earphones Ultimate Ears, Shure or Klipsch. Use 320bit/s compression for MP3, faultless reproduction. Worth every penny!

I read all the reviews on Amazon and Which before I bought the Sony, and in the end I thought I cant be going too far wrong and I was right. It really is; easy to use, massive memory, I think it sounds great easy the best MP3 player I've ever used, the radio seems to be getting better the more I use it, I get a descent enough reception on a tube train (obviously not underground).
Its was a little more than I wanted to pay but you do get a beautiful bit of pocket tech. If there is better sounding out there I'm sure I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
The down side is the Sony software that it came with, I found Microsoft Media Player a better way to go.

I bought this as I refuse to buy an iPod (mainly because of iTunes) and having been a loyal customer of Creative for many years, decided their products just weren't good enough.
It's a gorgeous MP3 player; it looks nice on the outside and the menus are easy to navigate. The sound quality is brilliant and once you get used to Windows Media Player it's easy to transfer music. The noise-cancelling headphones didn't cancel as much noise as I'd expected, but this could be because my expectations were quite high! I'd really recommend this as a much-needed alternative to the iPod.

Just like to even up the ratings for this product,i got mine from amazon when it was £99.99,absolute bargain at £20 cheaper than the 639 model,yet identical in every respect apart from noise cancelling that works with the earphones supplied,finished in a better looking brushed aluminium than the 639 in my opinion with gold emblems instead of the red,looks a bit more classy,a stunning product all round just like the 639,so ignore the nonsense 1 star review,this product is top notch quality!
