Clear audio feature is stated in manual to work ONLY with Sony headphones!
Content transfer software SUCKS as it ONLY transfers file to player and deletes them. NO ripping or file editing is possible!
Outside plastic/metal casing is a Dust magnet and prone to smudges!!
Sony eSupport is NOT helpful!
E series is Sony’s entry-level players that’s suppose to compete against the iPod nano at a low price level as it costs less than the nano! Too bad most other features are missing such as user friendliness and music software!
The players work well with good music feedback but the interface could be simpler and it would help if a media software is available similar to iTunes but it’s NOT!
You must use 3rd party software to rip music and edit files (i.e. add album art) and to create playlists! Unless you do that, drag n drop feature is the only other option.
Compilation folders/playlists are a problem with the player!
Rating: 3/10
Pro: Good music player, competitively low price
Con: CRAPPY transfer software, poor support
