Emmanuel, do you have a UK model?

I've moved about 12 Gig of music over to the NW-HD3 so far. Perhaps it requires you to connect to the mains if the unit's battery level is low (to protect against battery failure mid-transfer). But this is unlikely as my unit definitely charges over USB. |

COULD WE GET BACK TO THE TOPIC PLEEAAASSSE! I want to know information abou the HD3 not the iPoo. Does anyone on the forum currently own the HD3 and have another review in the works, because i would like to see one that reviews a proper working unit (no offence Mavis but yours doesnt qualify as a proper review). If anyone has this mythological review could they please posy it here asap? I would like a few queations answered if possible please: 1: Does the gap between tracks make the listening experience worse? If i were to play my mix albums on it would I have a huge gap between each track or would it be a little glitch? >>PLEASE NOTE: I want to know this for MP3!!! NOT ATRAC3!!! 2: Do you think that the HD3 looks in any way plasticey and cheap? Is it a good looking piece of equipment? Also, what earphones do you use with the HD3 and do they sound good? 3: Have you had any problems with SonicStage (apart from it being a turd piece of software), because i have appempted to catalogue my 5000 MP3s using it and i have a few MP3s that dont register as being MP3s, and wehn i look at them using winamp they have the same properties as the other tracks in the albums (ie they have same bitrate, source etc) have you had the same problem (THIS GOES OUT TO ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!) 4: Have you had any major problems with the UI? Does it take a long time to load, find tracks etc? i know these have been answered but using a defected unit. Thankyou in advance for whoever makes this review or passes comment on any of my queries. Im going to take a look at the thing in the flesh next week but i would like to know if im wasting my time even going to look at it. thanks again. ryan |

I was under the impression that you have to, but looking on to Sony's website, the E99 (a flash based Sony player that supports MP3 Natively) can "play your MP3's too, just drag and drop your files using an MP3 File Manager." I was wondering if such an option exists for the NW-HDx. |

As far as I can tell the wrapper adds very little to the file size, so the MP3 capacity would be very slightly less than transfering the unmodified files. |
