i think, the policy of sony sux a lot. i have 2 pcs (one at home and one at the office). why ist that not allowed to transfer my (converted) songs from the one pc to the other ??? why do i have to convert that songs everytime i put them to the device? - that's really nice (nw-e107) but the software seems to be a megabug. why do you think there are so many cracker, hacker etc.? maybe because of your policy of restrictions.
