If its anything like my PSP 1000, it sounds great and UI is fine. You can sort by whatever u want and even make custom folders. There is music EQ presets too

Sweet, thanks man, how would you compare it to the Ipod in sound quality? Maybe I am just weird, but Ipod's dont seem to have very good sound, actually I have read many reviews stating this, but can't find much on the PSPgo sound. Thanks.

I think its just as good as any other MP3 player. I use the A2DP bluetooth on my go and it sounds just as good as wired headphones. Ive never heard ipod sound quality so i dont have a basis of comparison

I use the PSPgo for listening to music, but the interface is not ideal. Selecting songs requires you to snap open the PSP and navigate using the d-pad and face buttons. This is a two-handed operation, while most mp3 players can be manipulated with one. The bumpers can move you backwards and forwards in the playlist, but they are overly sensitive - the slightest touch and you'll find yourself unintentionally skipping a track. This issue can be solved using the "hold" function, but I have found that switch to be inconvenient, because it is the same switch for power. Bringing the PSP out of hold must be done carefully or else one may accidentally shut down the system. On the positive side, the PSPgo is compatible with AAC and MP3, and the speakers are loud enough that one can hear music fairly clearly if the PSP is in one's pocket while walking around the house. Bass is not the PSPs strong suit, but it rarely is in devices so small. The PSP also directly downloads podcasts, saving you the trouble of connecting to the PC and manually updating - a big plus for me. In short, the PSPgo is a gaming system capable of functioning as an MP3 player. If you are willing to put up with a UI designed for gaming over music, you will have a satisfactory experience with the PSPgo. Hope this was helpful.

What? You can't sort, can you? If so, how? I know you can make folders, but I don't see how you can sort it in any order except flename.
