Review:

I'm using this player for a while and everything about the quality of the player it's true. Sound quality is unbelievable and it's really a joy to use.
Now, about Sonicstage. As the player is unbelievably good, Sonicstage is unbelievably bad. It's not what it does (you eventually manage to get your music on the player and it has nice features) is how it does. It's slow, it's clumsy, it's unconsistent, almost any slow operation blocks the interface forcing long waits, you cannot batch transfers, etc. This huge number of little and not so little things make it a complete nightmare to use.
But once you get your music, it's like the ad says, everything else is just noise.
