This latest firmware is definitely a huge improvement - loving the speed of access improvements - no more waiting for that damn disc to spin! But... there's still room for improvement, so I figure if Sony read these forums it might be a good idea for us to list the kinds of features we'd like to see in the next firmware version. My main feature 'wishes' are: - A "bass boost" option - most players seem to have this, and it would be really cool - Cross fading between tracks - this will probably never happen but would make the player quite distinct from iPods and would be a really neat feature - More preset sound modes - An "Add to now playing" option, so if you're listening to tracks you can add a track to the now playing list and it will get played - It would be really neat if the sound setting would change depending on the genre of the track being played, i.e. Indie tracks would automatically play with an Indie sound/eq setting, and Dance tracks would play with a Dance eq/setting Anyway, they're just my feelings. What's everyone else want?
