I'd go with the Sony. I'm not familiar with that particular model, but I've had experience with other Sony MP3 players. I also do own the SanDisk Sansa Express. I also like that player. I think it sounds okay for my needs. As far as durability, I think it seems to be a toss-up between the two as they are similarly built.
I'm looking for a new player and have narrowed it down to a 2 gig SonyB135 and a 2 gig Sansa Express.
I need help deciding, both are the same price. I would be putting it on shuffle for the most part and i need one that is better sounding and is more durable.
