I brought the 16GB A845 from an on-line store a week ago. Actually, I want a 32 GB version, but lack of $$$$$, so I pick the cheaper one.
It is a great player. I like the internal Digital Amplifier which allows high quality of music.

S740/S640 series appear to be the better “value” considering that the Yen makes ALL the devices pretty damn expensive, similar to Apple’s Nano.
Sony still uses their damn proprietary port and NO media software (excluding Content Transfer software which is a Friggin’ joke)!
Sony makes good hardware but CRAPPY, if non-existent, software!
