I've been wanting to talk aobut this for a long time, but I don't understand why peopel are so keen on dissing Sony's choice to use a proprietary format for their mp3.
Apple does the same thing, but with aac files- and its just as inconvenient. if your whole library is in .wav files, you have to wait an extra DAY to get your music transfered to an ipod.
Sony's atrac3 is just as good as the aac too- it compresses your file but maintains the same sound quality. I just don't understnad why people hate sony but not apple because of that. infact, the only reason why i bought a zen micro is because it just used wmp10 to transfer my wav files, plain and simple.
apple also forces u to use one computer's library, and you can't transfer back from you ipod... i find that selfish and greedy on the part of apple, whatever reasons they may have. everyone else doesn't do that, why do they have to distinguish themselves from others? (sure, the whole esthetics thing, but please, spare me some of that discussion) lol.
