Hi there, first post. I have never owned a MD player. I am thinking about buying an Hi-MD maybe the 800 or 900 model, even after reading the forums I have a few questions. 1) Here's my main concern. I don't really understand how hard / easy it is to put the music on the player. Every review I read about HiMD is that it takes long and is hard to put Mp3s on the player. I like to listen to different music every day, in my car, at work etc. I have a lot music of on my computer in FLAC, MP3 and OGG. Is it easy (like only a few steps) to put 1 gig of music on the player? Is the conversion to ATRAC or whatever format transparent? About how long does it take to transfer say 500megs or 1Gig? 2) How does it organized the music on the player? Can I use playlists? Folders? Sort the music around album artist etc? 3) This is going to sound stupid, but if I wanted to connect the player to different audio devices like a stereo receiver, car stereo aux input or one of those FM car adapters should I get the player with a line out or will the headphone jack be good enough? 4) How are you guys/gals using this in your cars? Are there accessories available like for the iPod and other PDAPs? Thanks for any responses!
