Hi, I am new to this forum. If this has been already answered, please kindly provide a pointer to where I can find the information. I am an IPOD 60GB user with Itune, but I am planning to get a mz-rh1 which claims to have the less limitation on copy files to and from my PC. Later, I am planning to transfer my music files, encoded in AAC variable rate in 192kbps ripped directly from many CDs, to a brand-new mz-rh1, when I get it. How do I do this? I am looking for a simple and easy way without too many hoops & jumps. Is the SonicStage 3.4 (the new version for mz-rh1?) the only way? Does SonicStage 3.4 understand AAC codec? Or do I need rip my CDs again to MP3 or something else Sonic Stage 3.4 understands? Also, with the new mz-rh1, can I just drag & drop any mp3 files directly to the recorder, without using the sonic stage to transfer the files, from the windows explorer? Thank you very much. Dan
