Sounds strange to me ... but after all the readings I've dont the last hours I guess you're ringht. However - I read somewhere that if both PC's - and the Sony device - are "authorized" through the SS Connect, the songs should be playable on all three devices. That doestn't help me anyway since I'm located in Norway - and the Connect service is not opened up in our region of the world yet... So what I need, i guess, would be some Authorization tool to use on my local library and devices - so that I personally can make the neccessary authorizations Keep it up Sony - make friends ... *not* You just lost one more! Thing I'll return the device and opt for an Archos Gemini device instead... //EE
