♥♥♥♥♥ A WARNING for those who want to DRAG-and-DROP
I am an 'anything-but-iPod' person, and thought I found the perfect player. I primarily wanted drag-and-drop ability, so that some third-party software didn't take over my computer. After spending >2 hours on the phone with Sony, and having my questions 'escalated' up to higher departments, I am told that it is common when using Windows Explorer to drag-and-drop mp3 files that the YEAR tag cannot be read. This is trivial, but for the fact that the screen readout for all songs will say "Unknown" on the bottom line, as you cannot customize the display (only whether album art or title information present or not). Furthermore, one of the main menu items, the time capsule shuffle is not applicable, because for it to work, it needs to see release year. Sony thus recommends that Windows Media Player be used for transfers, which essentially replicates the iTunes-iPod pairing that so many of us want to avoid. TOO BAD, because this is a simple programming fix!

If you don't care about album year stats and an 'unknown' line will not bother you, then this is a non-issue, and I strongly recommend the player. However, it baffles my mind that Sony would have released a product with such a trivial flaw.
