I was super excited, I was ready to load up all my MP3s and enjoy a huge library to listen to but I was immediately stumped when after I loaded my card full of songs (around 40gigs) the unit indicated that there were no songs found in the folder. I reformatted the card, made sure I had the latest firmware and scanned all my MP3s for errors and had at it again, still the same thing. I got a certain number of songs loaded up and then at some point the player decided that it did not want to recognize them. I fought with this thing for a few days, read countless forums and watched several videos because the manual was a joke. I could find no solution - could not trouble shoot it no matter what I tried, different cards, different readers, cables, It didn't matter. The same thing every single time...load up songs, but the folders indicated nothing. I tried the music transfer software, it was scrambling all my songs into a messy bin of displaced tracks all over the place. Then dragging and dropping mp3 folders from Windows explorer yielded no fix. Sony electronics have always been stubborn and hard to get what you want them to do. It makes no sense how in 2017 the proprietary protocols are so high with certain products that it removes all the fun and simplicity and you have got to be a Genomics Technician to format and load songs onto an MP3 player. I went back to my 10-year old iPod classic, where I can play videos, view pictures and play music without half the hassle. Maybe it's a perfect player for other people but this thing was a perpetual headache for me, or maybe it was just a bad unit, but it did everything else great, it's just that the way it deals with external Micro SD cards was obviously faulty. I reviewed higher end units and they all have their bugs. Funny how these technology companies will gladly take your money but can't seem to make their famed and esteemed gadgets work beyond planned obsolescence. Remember when listening to music was as easy as pressing PLAY on a cassette or dropping a needle? Digital is a beautiful demon.Read full review

This is in response to another review by subgrafixdesign. I have owned the least expensive Sony 4 gig player to a Hi-Res 64 gig player and I can attest to the fact that with the larger memories sometimes songs get lost. I don't understand it but I have loaded songs, lost them, deleted a few others , and the songs are back. But even with that problem I would not own anything but a Sony. I still have the Hi-Res but I am looking for a 8 gig in the next month or so. My last 4 gig lasted years until I lost it one day. It probably still going strong for someone else. Other players don't stand up and with some you are paying just as much for them as a Sony.
