Negative Positive
Title: A great attempt, but quite possibly a lemon.
Review: I bought one of these players two years ago. Within two months (fortunately during the warranty period), the lens knocked itself out of alignment, keeping the player from even seeking to the beginning of the disc. The Sony repair technician replaced the lens assembly, and all was well for about 6 months, after which the player developed a problem in which it would abort playback, clear memory, and reset the player. This happens when the player moves at all suddenly - not good at all for walking, and I wouldn't even CONSIDER jogging with it. Great sound, average battery life, almost unrivaled skip protection, but little to no reliablity in my case.
