Version: Sony Connect (SonicStage) 3.3
"if only I had another choice!"
Cons: As far as I know, this program is the only way I can use my sony mp3 player. The program is amazingly slow and unstable. It took me literally hours to download the 5 free songs you get with the player, and install them onto the player. Hasn't Sony heard of the thing called "drag and drop"?!

Version: Sony Connect (SonicStage) 3.3
"Sony just can't make good things any more"
Cons: Trying to do things uniquely, Sony makes stuff that only Sony-fans would accept. When will they learn to give what the people want, and not make things expecting people to accept it.

Version: Sony Connect (SonicStage) 3.3
Pros: Even in the latest version (4.3) SonicStage cannot move a song into another 'album'. Files are moved randomly AND often erroneously into folders called albums without the option to move files around. Isn't it disgusting SONY should have chosen this for a device called Digital Walkman player and a bunch of others?
Cons: This is a lame, shame, impotent piece of septicware where most basic functionalities are absent. Play your music randomly till you're tired or debilitated.

Version: Sony Connect (SonicStage) 3.3
"Steer clear of this garbage!"
Pros: Nothing!
Cons: So much for the "free" downloads That I won in a Coca-Cola point redemption. This software is VERY buggy and crashes CONSTANTLY. The user interface is just plain, well...stupid. The downloads are slower than molasses rolling uphill in winter! To top it off, the music selection is crap. You have to know exactly what album or song you want to download. The "similar artists" search keeps yielding the same 5 bands! They have a ton of "world music" artsy-fartsy crap-ola, but very little classic rock and metal. My heart goes out to those people with portable Sony audio devices...you should have purchased...(gulp) an Ipod.

Version: Sony Connect (SonicStage) 3.3
Pros: none
Cons: I recently upgraded from SonicStage (ShoddySh1te) 3.1 to 3.2, only to find that I can't transfer any of my MP3s to my sony minidisc player, it tells me that hey are all copyright protected, even though they aren't. I never had this particular problem with any of the older versions - thanks to version 3.2 my minidisc player is absolutely useless.
