made in china is not necessarily inferior.. why dont you check where the other HDD's are manufactured? the Hd1 is believe is made in japan. open that and see where that HDD is made.. also how is the nw hd2 ?

lol abhinav.. i am much older than that.. my cousin wanted some.. anyways, how good is the warranty of sony in india?? any experiences?

lol chris i sure am used to it, but i thought posting about it is frowned upon.. oh well, carry on then

cbse syllabus??? i was looking at copies of ncert textbooks.. any idea where i can buy them?

please do not post anything related to illegal copies of software... cheers

i would read this with a pinch of salt.. there are other studies to prove otherwise too..

eac.. 3 words i love

mutli booting has no issues with sonic stage.. i multi boot with linux. and since windows cannot see linux partitions, it does not know if linux is present.. so SS works just fine.. the whole issue about branded pc's and self assembled pc's is also pretty useless. i have built my own pc and own a thinkpad.. SS works just fine on both.. uninstall all versions of Sonicstage using this link http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=8071 finally, re-install the latest SS version cheeers

how are you abhinav? i was travelling when i heard this news. shocking. mumbai and now delhi.. its high time we retaliated... the people who did this are bastards countries all over the world retaliate when they are attacked.. why the hell cant we do it? i am afraid to go to a crowded place now..

Delhi da puttar, why do want to buy the new a 3000 when you have the hd3 and the hd5? that makes it a minimum of 40 gb. plus, these things in india will be extremely expensive. i had my rh10 got through somebody. in india too, i am seeing ads for the hd3 and not the hd5. do let me know if sony has started advertising for the hd5 too in delhi.

diwali ki shubkamnaye sabhi hindustanion ki taraf se..

the ex71 are not that loud in any case. i get much higher volume with sony stock earbuds than with the ex71

Is there any particular reason you dont want to buy or not like an ipod? I am not an ipod person myself, hence i would like to hear your reasons... They are firmware upgradable.. The hd1 gets native mp3 playback through a firmware update.. cheers

chris, please make me like this product.. why do i get repelled when i see it? i am not disputing the specifications but the looks imho is shyte.. am i looking at it from a wrong angle/perspective??

Psp firmware 2.5 is out http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000843063138/ http://pspupdates.qj.net/2005/10/psp-syste...250-is-out.html From the article: "Hot on the heels of the firmware 2.01 “upgrade” comes PSP firmware version 2.5. This is likely another Sony attempt at setting up a more stable firewall between hackers and their precious console, although one notable new feature in this upgrade is support for LocationFree TV playback. Peep the read link for the full rundown of the dealio on this upgrade, but be wary, homebrew lovers." cheers

i stand by my point.. the A series will be a Sony killer and not an apple/ipod killer as some predicted and hoped.. compared the new ipod/iaudio x5, the sony A series looks f-ugly, has less features to please the common man. imagine you with the A series on a bus, a kid next to you whips out the new ipod and starts playing a music video. you whip out your OLED equipped soap bar looking A series and wonder why you did not buy an ipod. The HD5 is an awesome device. Sony should have added a nice colour LCD to the HD5, added video playback, sold videos through connect, and then they might have had an ipod killer.. Mr Stringer, prepare yourself for another year of losses.

do you have the lameenc.dll in the himdrenderer directory? what kind of oma files were these? hi md uploads? cd rips?

may i please be honest?? compared to the hd5, its f-ugly... i really dont think this is an ipod killer.... but, hopefully, the new connect player will be far nicer to use. chris, will these things have a full eq for mp3 files? from what others have said, the hd5 has no custom 5 band eq for mp3 files, only atrac. what about the battery? usb connector? line out? full atrac3plus support? cheers

stringer is supposed to come down to india sometime this month for inaugrating sony entertainment television's new office followed by a huge party.. could you ask him if a minidisc fan can meeet him in india??? worth a shot i guess ... lol cheers

can i come too??? haffun chris and take loads of pictures.. where is it being held??

sorry to say but the new walkman is not designed well at all... personally, i dont like it one bit.. the hd1/3/5 series was somethin.. to say its an ipod killer is stretching it a bit much. they should have added a colour lcd screen the hd5.. the battery life would have come down to about 30 hours.. still, its a killer compared to this fingerprint magnet.. its a sony killer IMHO..

nice points.. but i dont have a huge atrac library..most are mp3's or wav files.. i didnt know about lossless compression until sometime ago... the thing is the music i have cannot be bought.. some recordings are from 1922... i have made cd backups of course.. but i was looking to store all my music on a HDD device for quick listening and archival... read about this device called the Iaudio X5L... 35 hour battery life, no need for software and no id3 tagging.. perfect for me as i have organized my music in folders... any views on that as compared to a HD5??

very interesting read http://digikid.blogsome.com/2005/08/28/how...-wifi-internet/ cheers

I am very tempted to pick up a minimum 20gb player.. Need to ask a few questions: 1. How easy is it to forward and rewind really fast within songs in sony HDD players?? 2. Is it wrong on my part to consider a 20Gb ipod(colour screen now)? I was looking at a flash device but some quick profits on the stock market have increased my budget significantly What other things should i be looking at??

this is the device!!! in built USB. no need for a cable.. OLED screen.. cheap and amazing battery life... i wanted the 407 but now i will buy the 207 instead when it is released!! is it just me or is mr stringer's elevation having some drastic changes within the organization??
