Very good

7.3

The good: Clean design; speed charging; decent transfer speed.

The bad: Lackluster battery life; too tiny buttons; needs SonicStage to transfer songs

The bottom line: A perfectly capable MP3 player for those looking for basics and not the frills.

Great mix between mp3 player and memory for storage



Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Battery life, it's easy to carry and to use, great sound, no so expensive
Cons: You can't listen +.mp3 songs, you need use Sonic Stage, a not really intuitive software
Opinion:
I'm happy with my Sony Gamma. A lot of friend of mine have bought because of me, and they're happy too. It's a good option if you need memory for your files and a mp3 player, and don't want to carry two separated devices. But, (always there is one "but") the Sonic Stage is a software that needs to improve. It's not easy to find songs, to move them and to sail in your library. And you always need to transform your mp3 to the Sonic Stage format (omg). The Gamma looks like a Sony product, the Sonic Stage doesn't.

Sleek and Slim



Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Portable, value for money, cool and sleek, FM Radio
Cons: Sonic Stage, langugae support lacking
Opinion:
I was looking for a very portable MP3 player for day to day use and wasn't willing to compromise with my mobile. This suits my needs. I love the easy charging which can be done through any USB drive. Since I have access to computer at work and home, it wasn't a problem. Also a short 3 minutes charge can last for quite a while. Also, the player is very sleek and have a cool interface.
My pet peeves are the Sonic Stage Software required, it is not user friendly. Also, there's no language support. The chinese song titles I have showed up as gibberish on the screen.
Other than that, I like this player:)
