But how to pick the music that gets the cut! It wasn't long after the release of the NH5 that the 30gb version emerged (it seems to me), so I'd say I'll wait till after xmas for any news. And until I've paid off my creditcard.. Dave

Thats pretty interesting alright! I have a remote from my sony minidisc days and I remember that it also worked on Sony MP3 CD players, just without track data of course. Important fucntions (pause / play / volume etc) worked perfectly. A remote would be an important accessory if I was gonna buy a Sony MP3 player, and it'd save me a bit of cash ;-) Dave

Hey lads, I spent a bit of time googling and searching these forums with no luck; does anyone know if there'll be a 30GB version of the new NW-A series walkman? Like with the NW-HD series? 20GB, as mad as it sounds, is actually a little limiting for me as lots of my music is encoded at a fairly high bitrate (typically ~190 - 256). 30GB would be just about perfect. I'm determined to not have to buy an iPod again... everybody has one of those damn things. ;-) Cheers Dave

ArtistLink sounds like a good feature, like the 100 fav shuffle feature. One (or more) question though. I've had an iPod for about 2 years now (before everybody and his dog had them) but its been giving trouble and generally pissing me off recently. What can I expect changing over to a Sony? I relied quite a bit on the smart playlist feature of iTunes eg. listing all tracks from a certain artist that I rate 3 stars or better. I'm a die-hard song-rater! Is there anything like that wi the A3000 or in Connect (or possibly in future updates)? I've noticed in screenshots of the A3000 that there are stars, but what exactly can be done with these? Are they synchronised with the Connect player etc? I listen to music on my iPod or at least 2 or 3 hours a day (lots of walking) so these little features can really make or break it for me ;-) By the way I already use a Sony Ericsson phone, a Sony Vaio laptop, Sony Cybershot etc so it'd be nice to have the full suite! Thanks Dave
