Pretty Good
After reading the various reviews, I was a bit nervous about buying this player. However I'm happy with my purchase. There are good points and bad points to the player.
Good:
* Drag and drop - the first Sony player to support this
* Sound quality - better than most, but perhaps not quite as good as previous Sonys
* Battery life - 12 hours is good in my book (again not as good as my old Sony though)
* FM Radio - good reception, no dropouts, very handy
Bad:
* Startup is just under 10 seconds - it seems to build a database of your songs when turned on. Surely no need?
* Shuffle is crazy - seems to play the same few songs over and over. One song appears every third go. This is my big fault with the player. I now just play beginning to end.
Overall I'd buy it again. Good player, good price.
Average Mp3 player from Sony
I just purchased one of these yesterday. It does everything that it claims to. However, I am trying to return it.
I have been using an older model (NWE405L), which has been superb. The sound from my old player is much more superior to the NWDB105FB (new model). The new one does not have a full Bass sound. Also, it takes about 6-8 seconds for the unit to 'boot up' when you switch it on.
If you are happy with these two factors, I would recommend the unit. If you are looking for a good 'full' sound - look elsewhere.
Good buy!
Brought this Sony mp3 player due to you being able to drag and drop music files straight on to it. With all other Sony mp3s you need their software sonic stage intstalled on your pc about which I have read a lot of negative reviews. With this you just plug it straight into your pc and you away! No Mess'in!
