I am fairly sure that it is illegal for any company to delete content from your hdd without your consent... I recently bought a HIMD player and got burned by the Direct MP3 playback lie. try this: (use a new disc for this just in case) record somthin simple through mic or line. Copy the HMDHIFI dir to your hard drive. (any where you want) transfer the recording through sonic stage. Delete track from hard drive Now try it again. (this shold erase content from disc (grayish legal) Ok, not the illegal part; Copy the content you copied to your hard drive back to where you found it on the MD. Open sonic stage. 2 things will happen: 1 the disc will become corrupt 2 the folder you created will have its files deleted. ..... Later I am going to see what happens if I ZIP it up and or place a non related file with it. It is illegal for companies to remove content from hard drive without your concent. THe EULA states from the MD disc, but not unrelated forlders stored else-where. Game companies (including Sony) has done this before and got class actions whipped aginst them. I would like to know if anyone else things this is questinable practice.. I cant sell this POS because it was on sale with out a loss in resale. When I had bought this, I had expected to dump the mp3s to the MD root and the player would play them.. I was wrong.. Has anyone else noticed that when you dont use the ATRAC format theyre hardware pulls back quality? I noticed this with the MP3 CD player I junked because it sucked, and the RH910 follows suit.. I also noticed that the sound quality sucks in comparison to the Net MD NE410 drive my friend has.. Mine clipps easly but his goes louder (yes, mine is USA version) I welcome replies be it good or bad. I would like to know where you all stand on your sony devices. thanks (EDIT, my bad, during the second transfer, it asked if I wanted to delete from disc.)
