all my music is in mp3 format. i've read thru what to me seems like a cumbersome process of copying mp3 to netMD thru burning CD images, mounting, etc. now with hi-md what would be the process for copying mp3 to md? would it simply me a drag-n-drop interface similiar to explorer, but converting to atrac on the fly? if so, how long would it take to fill up an entire hi-md? would the TOC need to be updated after recording each song? would atrac files be saved to my HDD? i have 45gigs of mp3 and don't want another 45gigs of atrac files. i bought an mz-r90 back in australia when it first came out and the thing that drove me nuts was 1:1 recording of mp3. i loved the battery life and the size tho. i guess what i'm asking is if it will be similiar to an mp3 player in the speed with which it copies mp3, or will it be significantly slower and more cumbersome? thanks
