5 Reviews for Sony NWDB105BC 2GB drag & drop Mp3 player - black
Limitations become quickly apparent - 17 Mar 2008

When I first got this player I was really pleased & filled up the player quickly. Sound & file management ok for the price.
BUT shuffle is useless - every time you power off & on you get the same 20-25 tracks played over & over again - tracks are even repeated every 3rd or 4th sometimes.
I have asked Sony to look at a software patch but they dont appear to take complaint seriously. I thought it was just my machine until I read similar reviews on Amazon. Sony dont seem interested in fixing the problem - they asked me if I was sure I had selected the correct setting (cheeky monkeys!).
So am on the lookout for a replacement but it wont be a Sony - sorry guys.
In summary if you want a machine with a decent shuffle option of your 500-600 tracks then this is NOT the player for you.
Not bad but not great - 16 Mar 2008

Nice compact device with reasonable sound but it's annoying that it does not use usb 2.0 so file transfer is slow.
Good, but nothing special with serious let downs - 20 Feb 2008

Well everything looked promising for this small, light mp3 player. The drag and drop is very useful and saves a lot of time. The display is clear and the sound quality is good. Unfortunately, here comes the but...
1.Iv noticed the battery level suddendly drops when its about half way, so one minute it will have plenty of charge, and then the next it will be empty, which is annoying if out and about.
2.The shuffle is so bad it shouldnt be called a shuffle. It plays the same sequence of tracks over and. This defeats the point of having 2GB of songs when you only ever listen to the same 10-15 before it repeats. sometimes it repeats the same song over and over 2 or 3 times before your forced to pick a new one.
3.For a more modern mp3 it takes far too long to turn on, it seems to load, load again and then create a playlist, which you know is going to be the same songs as last time over and over.
For the price its cheap for a 2GB, but for an mp3, im afraid to say im am bitterly dissapointed. If bad shuffles and battery cutting out on you annoys you like it annoys me, i would suggest you dont buy this mp3.
Shouldn't they all be like this? - 04 Feb 2008

This is a fairly steady MP3 player but I Think it really stands out for the ease of use. No messing around with annoying software its just drag and drop in file manager on windows. Shouldn't all MP3 players be like this instead of dragging your machine down with badly designed and annoying bundled software - iTunes et al?
Good sound quality but terrible software - 25 Jan 2008

This player has good build and sound quality, and a simply, user-friendly interface, all as one might expect from a major consumer electronics brand. However it is very let down by the atrocious firmware.
The player is prone to hang/crash when transferring songs if, for example, the computer's screen saver comes on during the transfer, needing the manual reset button to be pushed. It has even crashed when using the built-in menu to reformat the player; even after pressing Reset, the player misreported the amount of free space, and Windows detected a FAT file system error (which it fortunately managed to correct).
The player displays "Creating Databse" for fully 25-35 seconds (this is not an estimate - I have timed it!) every single time it is switched on, even if it has not been connected to a computer since it was last used.
Shuffle mode is a joke - it plays the same sequence of songs every time it is turned on, which includes repeating songs long before every song has been played once.
It has no mid-track resume function.
Unlike my iRiver T20 player (which also has a built-in USB connection), the Sony is not able to play music while recharging via USB.
In summary - this could be a very competent player if only the firmware bugs were corrected. I contacted Sony about this (Jan 2008), and was eventually told my comments would be passed onto the development team; however the general tone of their response was unhelpful in the extreme, so I am not holding my breath!
PS Contrary to Sony's literature, it does work with Windows ME, so long as you install a generic Universal Mass Storage device driver (freely available on the web).
