Great Except the Software
Compare Prices : Sony NW-A1000 6GB By Peter Mandefield (10/01/2006)
- Pros: Stylish, good sound quality and the player at least was easy to use
- Cons: Connect (Software)
I got this product out of the box and was so impressed with it, it looked great and the quality shuffles, top 100 songs and so on really impressed me. I couldn’t wait to get my music on it but I had to wait. I tried to put it on after installing Connect 1.0. But after one attempt, in which I tried to put all the music on at once (big mistake), it didn’t work. I tried again but this time with one a... Read Full Review »

NW-A1000 - Avoid at all costs in Protest
Compare Prices : Sony NW-A1000 6GB By Peter Miller (05/01/2006)
- Pros: crisp sound, clear screen, nice shuffle features
- Cons: Software, sony USB cables, no external case
I received this as a Christmas present, so had no idea what to expect. On initially opening the box, I was delighted to see a rather slick black MP3 player. When turning it on, the screen was clear and the menu system was intuitive with fun shuffle and jukebox features.
When attaching it to my PC (fully patched XP PC), the device did not pick up. I tried all the standard combinations to get this w... Read Full Review »

Pretty damn good!
Compare Prices : Sony NW-A1000 6GB By Anonymous (30/12/2005)
- Pros: Look, Sound, Shuffle settings
- Cons: Software
I am not a big fan of the iPods (a point of principle, I guess) and have always been on the lookout for something a little different. On my return from overseas, I saw this little beauty and snapped it up straight away.

The look of the NW-A1000 is fantastic! - sleek, well built and easy to use. It has several settings, which include a time warp shuffle, a play all shuffle and a favourites shuff... Read Full Review »

Better Than An Ipod
Compare Prices : Sony NW-A1000 6GB By mike mitchell (25/12/2005)
- Pros: Great Sound And Quality
- Cons: Software is kind of slow and cost might be a concern
Even with the cons I would purchase over an Ipod any day. The Battery life is about 6hours which is good but not too good. I love this machine and I got it today!!!!!! I would definately recommend over the overrated Apple Ipod. Read Full Review »

- Pros: sound, appearance
- Cons: VERY BAD software, battery life, transfer time, accesories, cables, an
First off I should say that I am not a supporter of Ipods and Apple and I believe that they should be taken off the planet. With that in mind, I was in need of an upgrade from my cd player so I went in search of an mp3. I wanted to keep the amazing sound quality and battery and the new a1000 looked like the answer. All my friends have IPods and I wanted to prove to them that their is an equal alte... Read Full Review »
