Well i posted this the other day and i haven't seen any mention of it since. again, i'm begging to be corrected since i want to get one, but i'm not going to be shelling out that kind of money for something that won't work with my Mac. http://www.ecat.sony.co.jp/audio/walkman/p...KM=MZ-RH1#feat5 i dont know if anyone else reads japanese, but on the forth bullet from the top, it says that you can only UPLOAD music to a Mac, but cannot download. This distinction is left off the sony-europe site. If you look at the graphics used to illlustrate, there is no arrow that points from the computer to the unit itself. in greyed-out text it says: "Hi-MD Music Transfer for Mac Ver.1.0 de-wa onkyoku-no-tensou-wa DEKIMASEN" not exactly what i was wanting to hear. so you can only upload. richyhu says otherwise, but i want someone to point me in the direction of facts in English. The review on the dutch site leaves out the Mac-compatibility issue since the software hasnt been released yet. But i certainly dont want to spend the money and pray they expand the compatibility. someone PLEASE PROVE OTHERWISE! Maybe my japanese is lacking; feel free to correct me is that is the case. all i can say is I'm disappointed. i was considering sabotaging the iPod to help make my case to my wife that i need new things. i suppose i'll just get a new ipod.
