2.3 is ok. I use it to store all my CDs on the computer in ATRAC3plus mode. Makes transfering to HiSP really easy and fast. Also makes it easy to go through my library and choose what music to stick on the disc. My only problem with it is when I put a CD in to upload from I cant change windows or do anything until the transfer is underway or openmjbox.exe crashes... If you use it just as an uploader for your downloads I can see how it would be sorta messy. Just stick with the Realplayer utility.

Just use HiSP. You still get a little over 2 hours on the regular 80 min disc and it sounds a lot better than standard SP.

Nope... I actually use it myself. Be afraid!!

I actually like SonicStage... Probably because I don't download that much music. I find it very useful for keeping my CDs organized on the PC. And with the HDMD unit it's a breeze to create a disc from my collection (not to mention a lot faster than MDLP was...) I still like to make recordings using my MD deck and a optic cable, but SonicStage is useful for browsing through my collection and creating a quick disc to take to school or work with me. If only I had HiMD in my car
