Re: Sweet new MP3 player from Sony
Hmm, one major disadvantage though, to quote from Sony's website:

The NW-HD5 comes supplied with SonicStage3.1 software.

SonicStage is the biggest load of pants ever

I speak as the owner of an otherwise gorgeous NW-E99.

Still, native support for WMA and MP3 is a step in the right direction if true. Let's hope that the software for non-ATRAC formats is better than SonicStage (you'd think it couldn't be worse, but the MP3 Manager for the NW-E99 is basically a totally stripped down version of Win Explorer .....)
