Just bought a A-1000, but lost the CD. So downloaded Sonicstage 3.1. problem with that is i can't transfer mp3 onto the player without converting them to ATRAC. Morever, when it converts to ATRAC, the quality is always just 64kbs, no matter how many times i set it at a higher rate, the result is still 64 kbs. My question : 1. Can i transfer mp3 withour converting to ATRAC ? 2. Since i lost the CD, does anyone know where can i get/download Connect Player (i heard CP allows you to transfer mp3 onto the player without converting to ATRAC) Hope anyone can help me with these . Thanks
