ATRAC4ever

I have one! Just purchased a Japanese version on ebay, and love it so far! I wonder if someone can help me with converting the language to English. I tried updating the firmware with the English download, but player doesn't seem to recognize the available firmware. I tried following the directions that Ishi offered on one of his posts here at Atrac-life. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, from the rainy SF Bay Area.
