yeah… my Grandmother got one of these things for my Son last Christmas. After a few hours of hairpulling we just returned it, no questions asked.

What really bugged me was that the packaging labeled it as an mp3 player. The interface is so aweful that it takes you a while to figure out just how bad it sucks.

It’s worse than that. I wrote about this in >February 2000<, when I first picked up a Sony Music Clip. Note the similarities.

“Sony Gets Stupider”

NOT to mention Sony’s digital video format for microDV recording (.MMV) which is a pointless proprietary version of MPEG-2 that the majority of video editing programs don’t recognize….

I hear you… I recently spent about 5 hours trying to get audio of an interview off of a MiniDisc… it’s amazing Sony makes any money off of its stuff at all.
