Thinking about buying this player, so this thread is great to read. I have a few questions though; can the player also be used as a usb drive for any files without SonicStage ? Anyone know what the difference is between the NW-S70X series and the upcoming (in europe at least) NW-E01X seris, especially the NW-E016, see http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/01/sony-ke...f-walkman-stick Also, is SonicStage the only way to handle the music on the player or is anyone using any other software (I mainly use Linux). Thanks
