Buyer's feedback: - * Screen went Blank ...
I have always liked all SONY products. This player was working well. I did enjoy the simplicity of transfering music and the way it was organized. I bough it in May but after 6 months the screen went blank. I see some vertical lines of green color, but most of it is black now. Don't know what happened. I had it in my pocket during a warm sunny day while walking. Don't think thats a reason for the screen to break down. I'll take it with SONY support and see if they can do something.

Buyer's feedback: - Amazon consistently states incorrect dimensions for this player
Why does Amazon list the wrong dimensions for this product in all of its listings?

This is clearly not a 1.3" x 5.8" x 6.6" player!

Potential customers should realize that it is instead 0.5" x 1.7" x 3.1".

Big difference!

Buyer's feedback: - * Great sound, graphics and controls. ...
The NWZ-A818 is a wonderful little mp3 player that is fun to listen to, look at and easy to control. Plays a number of music formats. The graphics are crystal clear. It looks cool and attracts attention, but can also be comfortably holstered to an arm and out of the way if you're working out. If you love your music, this device won't disappoint, with great earbuds right out of the box.

I didn't expect it to have an FM radio, which it doesn't have, but that would have made this mp3 player even better. Just another bell or whistle to add to the already packed set of options in this device.

Buyer's feedback: - Fantastic Player (After You Format It)
I've had this player for a couple of months now, and me and this player didn't get along until recently. First all of the good stuff: The battery life is incredible, the sound is the best I've heard from any MP3 player, it feels very sturdy, and the screen is easy to look at.

However, almost all of that was overwhelmed by the interface between the player and the computer sucking so bad. You use windows explorer and media player to load and delete songs off of the player. And this never worked right. It took at LEAST a whole minute to delete a single song. That doesn't sound like much, but when you want to delete some stuff off so you can put other music on, sitting there for 60 seconds per song is a major pain. And the sync feature with window's media player wouldn't update songs. For instance, if I loaded a song onto the player and I didn't realize I put a typo in the title, the only way I could update the file was to delete it off the player (which took ages), and then reload it (which took an equally long time). Deleting and then loading an entire album could take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. Total pain.

So I got fed up, and decided to format the player. Just delete everything.

Now, it works like a charm! Deleting is fast, loading is fast, the sync feature works, it's absolutely fantastic. So now it sounds great, is well built, and all of that...and the software works! Hooray!

Buyer's feedback: - * Ahhhhhhh.......Yes! ...
Finally, an electronic product that really 'just works,' as they say over at Apple Inc. My advice: Just buy it!

Pros:
The sound quality is awesome.
The bundled headphones are well designed and provide crisp, clean sound.
Media can be played by folder as well as artist, album, etc.
The screen clarity is brilliant.
You can play wav files!
The drag and drop is amazingly fast and simple. No additional software is required, although software is included with the player.
When you have added new tracks, the update library prompt is very speedy, unlike the Sansa player.
It is sleek and light.
The battery lasts forever.

Cons:
For me there are none, but don't expect to be able to record or listen to the radio.
