Yeah it didn't work. It is saying CANNOT SELECT DRIV with an OK button then it will show up mp3filemanager with the content of my hd3. Upon dragging and dropping an mp3 file in there it will say PREPARING FOR TRANSFER then another dialog box would show up saying TRANSFER INTERRUPTED. SOME TRACKS MAY HAVE NOT BEEN TRANSFERRED. It is just sad that I cannot take advantage of the native mp3 feature of this device. I called sony repair center today here in toronto but they are clueless on what a firmware upgrade is. I guess they don't it here. Thanks Stuge for all your help.

I have a nwe-99 and i installed mp3 file manager version 1.2 in there. It worked perfectly. I copied the mp3 file manager 1.2 folder from my nwe-99 and put it on my nw-hd3. The mp3 transferred ok but I can't find it in groups or albums. Stuge, is it possible if you can give me a copy of mp3 file manager version 2.0 from your nw-hd3 player itself. A copy of the mp3fm folder in the atrac player itself. I want to try if its gonna work on mine. Thanks.

Yes it is in standard mode setting. Does the sony store in Canada (toronto to be exact) does firmware flashing for hd3? My HD3 was from the US and HD3 wasn't sold here in Canada at all.

Tried it using sonicstage 3.3 and it is still doing the same thing. Stuge, do you happen to have or know where i can find an HD3 original firmware or a copy of the mp3fm folder in the network walkman itself?

I tried it as well and I am always stuck on the selecting device screen. It wont detect my HD3 for some reason.

I haven't tried transfering thru mp3 file manager version 2.0 yet. Everytime I tried to install that program it is always telling me that no portable audio was found eventhough my HD3 is connected in the usb port. It won't fully install because it cannot detect my hd3 that's why I haven't tried transferring using that program. I'll try a screen capture using sonicstage though.

I tried all the mp3s I have and it always asked me to convert. It wont transfer "as-is" I tried all the cbrs from 128 to 320 bitrate and all of them wont transfer without conversion to atrac format. What is wrong with my HD3? Any help would be appreciated. picture attached:
