Sorry to reply to an old thread but I'm thinking of importing an A847 to the UK from Japan. I have 1000+ CDs ripped into sonicstage 4.3 and don't fancy going through the process again.
Also not convinced about programs to convert ATRAC to MP3.
Richard's post is encouraging and having had many Sony players in the past I reckon I'll be able to navigate round the player ok. My only concern is getting the ATRAC files into the X-Application program, with Japanese far from my speciality!
Any advice as to whether this is an easy process would be appreciated.
Regards
Paul
