Hee great! I got myself a PRS300 this week. Great machine! Beautiful screen and real Sony build quality, with a metal front. Edit: "Sony has requested we remove these service manuals, but with the PRS-700 mysteriously disappearing from the SonyStyle store, its fair to say something is afoot."

Good point, x2 (except I'm on my forth Walkman).

This is interesting; a higher then normal resolution, hopefully Sony build quality, a reasonable price (if it is still reasonable once it comes to Europe). I might pick one up later this year.

Welcome Pinkblondi (this is a weird name to type), we probably all have that in one way or another. Computers are addictive like hell. The best you can do IMO is make plans how to fill you free time in a pleasant way and stick to those plans. Nothing against planning some time with your laptop every now and then of course, just not too much.

Nope, sorry. You can go directly from the now playing screen to the list of cover art of all albums on the DAP, but that's it.

I you mean shuffle all songs on all albums, yes that is possible ; simply set it to shuffle and select 'all songs' and select a song to start with. Can also be done inside a genre, or an artist.

That does it, I'm getting one as soon as they appear in the shops here. Hey Julie, what happend to your IR8's?

Exactly the same for me (except that I knew some LC-records from long ago). I was never really a fan, and picked up the CD a month ago just because I wanted to buy something. After listening through it for the first time, I was completely floored; I immediately ordered the concert-DVD, and ever since then I keep on listening to the CD, saw the -long- DVD over 5 times, and it has been on my DAP almost constantly. One of the few conceerts I really regret having missed, but that'll be rectified soon .

Shall we tell him? aargh, it goes on, everyone has one except for us: http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/04/sony-ol...x1050-hands-on/

.

Great, enough signals to convince me that is is actually coming in May; I'll buy one right away. I have a question: at the moment, I enjoy my A808, with ATRAC. Going to this X1000 that means I'll have to rerip, and I think I'll start this week. 32 GB is more then enough for the music I want on it. So I want to use the best lossy codec. But what is it? MP3 at 320kbs CBR, or VBR or something else? I could use some advice from people that already use the SOny nonATRAC-DAPs please. As Juli pointed out somewhere, there is also room for a few uncompressed WAV/PCM albums (hey Juli, want to guess what double album will doubtlessly be uncompressed on my player? )

Uhh, their forumlist starts like this: Forums Topics Posts Support Share experiences and help each other. 28,555 179,891 OTOH, it suddenly is http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ and Sony is not mentioned anywhere.

According to Engadget it is coming to Japan 25-4. Price there: about $400,- for 16 GB, $500,- for the 32 GB. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=a...04%2F09-0414%2F

Not the easiest to read, but a lot more regular then my southpawn runes.

Play.com now mentions 30/4 as expected delivery date....
