You are aware in UK, where HD5 is out, there are reports of "cracking" buttons. http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=215060

I currently use SonicStage, and have a few complaints, but not as many as some others do with it...anyway, was wondering what software i would have to switch to to use the x5?? ...i listen to a lot of music on my computer (it's basically my stereo at home), and I liked the way the music is organised in Sonicstage..at least compated with Windows Media Player ...Does the x5 come with its own program???...if not what is the best one to use. cheers

you can just use Windows Explorer to copy music and stuff to and from the player. The only thing you need software for is to convert video files, which they include a program for doing
