This should probably be a new thread....but....are Sony seriously telling us that you have to use this Sonic Stage rubbish to get tracks onto your mp3 player?! Whats wrong with pluggin' it into a usb port, opening the 'removable media' window, and draggin' and droppin' WMA & MP3 files from 'My Music' onto the flippin' thing????? I paid £20 for a voucher from the online music download section of a popular food retailer...can i use this to download tracks and drop them on the NW-E003? I seriously cant tell. Sonic Stage seems un-neccessarily complex...drag and drop, drag and drop!

Sorted! Did as you said once more...and Voila!...it worked, this time! Many thanks.

I tried. It just keeps saying "FORMAT ERROR". Any idea where to get the original firmware?

Hello! I've got one of the NW-E003's which is now stating 'FORMAT ERROR'. I tried to format through windows explorer! D'oh!! I tried to 'update' the firmware as per Sony's site and instructions, but i think it is only that: an update! My question is this- Where do i get the v. 1.0 firmware from? I figure if i re-flash it to version 1.0 then update to v.2.0 it should be OK???? The Sony helpline is only a MON-FRI affair! Any suggestions and/or instructions on how to re-configure it to v.1.0? Where do i get the firmware v.1.0 exe. file from? Many thanks
