A few more questions: I tried downloading SS 2.0 just to check it out and see the functionality. The program works ok (and answers a few of my questions), however the performance seems to be very 'sluggish' ?? Opening an album takes 1-2 seconds (ages if you ask me), and I'm running on a pretty high spec computer (2,8 GHz, 512 RAM etc.). Can this be related to the fact that I have imported a library of primarily WMA's ?? Or is something else wrong ?? Cheers

Thanks for the info. From reading the SonicStage 2.0 documentation it seems you are right that SS is able to transfer material in SP 'stereo mode' for compatibility with older systems. However it doesn't say what the quality will be like.... I plan on using the Hi-MD unit for both my older systems as well as a portable jukebox, so 1 Gig of storage is cool... :cool:

Thanks ! That helps me a lot. Don't know if you can help me with this also: Is it possible to transcode WMA files to ATRAC via SonicStage ?? I have quite an extensive library of WMA's and would prefer not having to re-rip them.

I own a couple of headunits for my car with MD playback. Considering to buy a Hi-MD unit I'm curious if these units support recording on a 'normal' MD in 'original' SP mode (aka 292 kbps) ? I would need this option for compatibility with my car stereo...
