Verdict so far?

Sony puts itself as a premium brand so quality should be on the good side, though price may be a little high.
Yeah, those "AI" things rarely work well (referring to that auto song classifier) - AI just kinda sucks in this day and age.

Apart from the clunkiness of the PSP, how does it actually compare to it (ie interface, sound quality)?

but yeah i like how this walkman produce nicer sounds, but i think it my walkman lacks the features of bass sound enhancement technology, does the walkman above have that enhancement?

So that's the difference between them. I saw the two next to each other in the shop but I couldn't work out the difference between them. I just thought they were the same player but of a different capacity.

By "bass sound enhancement" do you mean the EQ? As far as I know all the Walkman MP3 players have a pretty similar EQ setup. 5 bands and a bass boost. I usually don't bother with all these sound enhancements. IMO they're only there to make cheap headphones sound more expensive.

I used my PSP as an MP3 player while I was waiting to get a new one. Like you say it does the job but it's not entirely suited to that purpose. The visualisers are nice though...

i think for older models it have bass enhancement technology, but yeah newer walkmans do have enhanced bass.

and yeah psp can't match the sound quality over walkman/ipods, their big difference is the loudness of the sound, psp have minimal loudness unlike for the mp3 players, i have previously listening sounds over psp with Lightmp3 application, to enhance the sound, but when i get a walkman, i only play games on my psp, but still psp got higher resolution for videos so i still watch movies on my psp, hehehe

Hmm, IDK about you guys' hearing, but PSP on max volume is pretty damn loud for me (using stock PSP in-ear headphones). I wouldn't go any louder lest I risk ear damage. Probably only issue I have is with classical music - it's usually too quiet, but the dynamic normaliser usually does the job (if not, I can just edit the track to make it louder)

I know it might be difficult to hear some stuff on a loud bus, but I still wouldn't risk ear damage. But that's your choice I guess >_>

Regardless, if you haven't tried it, try the Dynamic Normaliser (in sound settings).
I can't test sound quality though, but the PSP doesn't seem to have bad sound quality.

yeah psp quality is good, but they tend to be volumed down than other mp3 players, and i don't usually use in-ear earphones, i think they are more tend to move rigidly the eardrums because no air was being drawn out from inside the ear, and in-ear earphones irritate my ears and so i can't hear someone talking to me, and yeah listening for a very loud music will damage the ear even you don't use earphones (eg, listening near to a taking off airplane)

and yeah walkmans do also have AVLS and i also use that, :)
