The sony bean is a fairly good Mp3 player. it has great sound and a fairly good screen (could be bigger but works just fine). the one line screen menues take a bit of geting used to but after you get a hang of it its easy. the only thing i would change is the hold function.instead of using the slide cover it would be better if it had a button. over all this is a good Mp3 and i would definetly recomend it
