Hi, i bought an old Sharp IM-MT899 (880 in US i think), it's seems wonderful.. Unfortuantely, it's NetMD-compatible, and that means i have to use Sony's software which, as we all know, suck ass so bad that I don't even know what to say.. Anyways.. I can't figure out how to sort the tracks in "My Library" by filename, or artist, or artist AND song name.. First thing's first.. How do you sort the songs by filename? Suppose i have an album in Mp3-format, the album is located in a folder where each song is named with the track number in the beginning. This is great for playing the songs in order in winamp etc. Now, how do you make SonicStage sort the songs by the filenames, and thus, in the right order. When i try to transfer them to my Sharp player, they get mixed and is placed in the wrong order on the MD.. From what i can tell, sonicstage uses the ID3 info, but can Sony really be that STUPID that they don't even give you an option of using the file names? What if i don't have any ID3 info? And also, the ID3 info doesn't help, because it doesn't say the track number (at least SonicStage don't use the track number info from the ID3). So, i'm left with sorting songs using song names, but songs on an album aren't sorted by song names, at least very rarely.. Is the only option to transfer one song at a time, in the right order? SonicStage sucks.. They must have worked hard to get it to suck so much.. EDIT: I'm talking about sonicstage 3.1 :EDIT EDIT2: Ok, i noticed it could use the track number info from the ID3 tag, but that just makes all track 1's, 2's, 3's and so on from different albums come together :EDIT2

From what i could tell from the results of the Multiformats Listening Test, peoples subjective judgement was that an mp3 encoded at 128kbps (LAME) sounded better than an Atrac3 encoded at 132kbps.. Sounds pretty strange to hear you say that an atrac at 132kbps is about equal to an mp3 at 192.. But, of course, i could have gotten this multiformats test all wrong.. And also, you say that Atrac should be better since it's designed to cut out things ar inperceptible to humans. I though this was EXACTLY what mp3 did (in addition to other stuff).. how does Atrac differ from mp3 on that matter? What is it that is cut out on mp3s?

How did this go kurisu?

Wow! That's great news for a lot of people kiryen.. Good job =) Somewhere out there is my NH900 floating around just waiting to get into my hands and get an Mp3 firmware update.. He'll just have to hurry up before he has to share my love with his younger sibling, the RH910..

What about that datavis.com offer? It was only $239 for the RH10.. Ok, no international shipping maybe. But anyway.. why is it $379 from Audio Cubes?

Those prices are in pounds (£).. It's still cheap, but a lot more than 69 euros..

And I enjoyed reading it, so it's a good off topic subject =)

(Bold added by me..) You wouldn't believe how fun this was at 04:39AM when writing on a bachelors thesis. Thanks for cheering me up..

Hehehe.. I should be glad my Nh900 got lost in the shipping =) I'm writing my bachelors thesis atm. Putting more time into reading this forum so I've allready missed my first deadline

Is there anyone out there who's got the MZ-rh10 yet? Is there anyone planning to buy one? Why aren't you people discussing the new units like madmen now that they're out? (in japan at least). Have i missed something?

So i guess tomorrow is the big day, release of the 2nd gen units Hopefully someone will get one the first day and post their impressions on the forums.

Drag&Drop for audio which would then be able to be played back. No need for any software. Would also solve the software problem that garyc referred to.

Family, friends.. enough...

Thanks kurisu. What will the price be in USD? I know there's been some speculations, but is there an official suggested retail price in USD? With the current currency exchange rates i would look for a canadian store to order from, if the US and Canadian prices are the same. But then again, with my latest loss of a NH-900 in the shipping from the US, i think i'll look for a Swedish etailer.
