It appears that it should work - in theory. WMP will play ATRAC files using the Sony codec if SonicStage is present on the same machine - it just can't see them. So one, clunky, option is to copy all my ATRAC files to another folder and rename them all .mp3, which would allow WMP to add them to its library. Another is to stick them all on a USB drive and copy them across to the PS3, but that's going to have DRM issues. I tried to us HIMDRenderer to convert them to MP3 files (also clunky, given that the PS3 has native ATRAC support. What I really want is for SonicStage to act as a DLNA server, so they can play natively. But expecting two bits of Sony to work together is just hopelessly unrealistic, I guess...

Us Europeans recently got a firmware upgrade for the PS3 which allows it to access DLNA media servers. That's great. And the PS3 will already play ATRAC files - it does a great job when I plug my USB Walkman in to one of the USB slots. But I can't find a DLNA media server that will serve my collection of (SonicStage organised) ATRAC files to it. Any suggestions?

My MZ-N10 has developed a fault. If I put a disc in it spins up to speed but won't play (using either the on-unit controls or the remote) and there's nothing you can do to turn it off. You can eject the disc, though, which is still spinning at the time... Anyone seen this fault before? Prices are so low it isn't worth paying to fix it, but I'd love to get it working again...
