yeah i tried cutting using an exacto and razor. no luck. this was the way to go, sloppy as it is. i wanted to maybe sew some edging on to make it look nice. but havent had the time. my screen is normal.. just a flash effect.

got it at the dollar store for a buck. used a cheap soldering gun to make holes. isnt the most graceful thing, but it works swell.

heres a quick question for you guys- if i rename songs on my hd-5, is it possible to make playlists? from my understanding- you have to select songs on your pc to make a playlist, then import it to the player.. now, by modifying the name on the player and not the pc- will it try to copy the...

make sure to set it back to headphones when your done. or else youll experience some ear bleeding sound next time you use your headphones. i do this by accident regularly.

how sturdy is that control pad? looks like itd break in a minute. then again... we all know about hd5 buttons. damn sony- get your buttons right.

i was in your same predicament just a few weeks ago. i chose the hd5. why not have the latest and greatest?? ive had mine for 3 weeks now, use it all the time- dropped it once. still works fine. never froze on me. the screen is fine, just take care of it, get a case! it only went dumb on me...

ok heres the situation. i have a lot of mp3 "singles" that i want to organize into my hd5. i think the best way to do this would be to edit the tags on all of them so that they are in the same album name- "singles". the problem- sonicstage doesn't arrange my "singles" for me- even...

im not a fan of color screens (of course- like many who agree with me; i dont have a color screen). but i think the general public expects these fancy mp3 players to have color screens. in fact, thats the first thing my girlfriend (who knows nothing about mp3 players) commented on, "oh, [hd5]...

i think that with hi speed cellular internet becoming more popular were gonna start seeing some true "net" walkmans out. on board storage wont be as necessary. everything will be streamed. your mp3 collection will be on a server somewhere in alaska.

you could get the 40gig sony vaio pocket for $210 at buy.com if you apply for their card.

why are they selling these so cheap?! is it temporary? would it be wise to buy a bunch and sell them on ebay for more??

the sales rep at sonystyle told me that sonystyle is the exclusive seller of non-silver colored hd5s.

before purchasing my black hd5 three days ago, i did a lot of research on it. there have been many reported cases of cracking buttons. BUT these were all in the case of SILVER HD5s. Get a red or black one to be safe. I had a hard time deciding between red or black, but i figured red would get...

i finally got to the sonystore and couldnt resist. i bought an hd5 w/2 yr warranty. when i first got some music on it, i remember being able to tap > or < and it would fast forward or rewind instantly. to change the tracks i had to hit ^ or V then Play. now... 15 album transfers later- the <...

it says right in the pdf manual: atrac3plus 48kbps = 40hours mp3 128kbps = 30hours hope that helps

i went to that sonystyle store in boston. got me an hd5 black. got the 2 year protection for $30 not bad at all. so far im happy with it. the flap that covers the usb port is real flimsy though. left it on all night by accident. woke up in the morning, still 75% left!

is there a dock available for the hd5? kinda odd if not. all other hds have it, i would imagine any ipod competitor would use a docking station. also- i dont know much about hdd daps, as ive never owned one- is there a limit to how many playlists you can have? i assume there wouldnt be...

i'm a guitarist, when trying to learn guitar parts from songs, i rewind a lot, it would be nice to not have to hold |<< until it starts rewinding. which hdd based daps are best for lag free fast forward or rewind? prefferably 20gb models thx. there arent any players out there that will let...

ive got time on my hands... the vaio is actually thicker than 17mm if you consider the big handle. its prolly more like 26mm or so. notice the hd5 is the smallest and lightest.

i went to a few computer superstores today. circuit city sells the silver hd5 for $300. bestbuy sells the silver hd1 for $350 (rediculous- i can get an hd3 new for $240). there was no demo for the hd5, but you can see it clearly in the clear plastic case its in- its real sharp, real tiny. the...

new egg has a bunch of really nice pics.
