Hi ozpeter Too bad track insertion can't be turned off. Do sony have a user suggestion list somewhere?. I'm guessing it would only need to be a firmware upgrade. Thanks for the heads up on reaper and media join. I will have to look for another solution for the mean time as my platform is MAC. This also means that I cant use sonic stage either, as A440 suggested. At least I can stop re-reading my manual to see if there was something I had missed. Thanks katon
