Sony will always say this is a BUG and by mistake. This thing is one of the reasons i decided to sell all my MD/HiMD equip and buy an Iriver, which gives me peace of mind while recording. I can: Reocord my own music and know it wont be DRM Transfer with 0 hassle to my pc Delete files i transfered from my PC with no worry Transfer my own music to as many computers as I want Drag and Drop mp3's X10 times faster while moving files from/to PC DJ Sessions in WAV uncompressed can now be more then 3 hours.. I admit, i missed my MD at first, but now, i dont even remember why its such a wonder to begin with.
