you should however, fully discharge them once in while. And remember to finnish recharging it fully everytime you begin charging. Doing this will make the battery perform it's best for the longest amount of time.

Hey guys, do you now where i can purchase an NW-A3000 battery from?

Oh man. I recieved the player today. On a scale from 1 - 10 i rate it "f***ing awesome"

Yes, itunes is good. But doesn't really matter if you can't stand the player. Also, i'm not saying sonicstage is better than itunes. And a program doesn't have to be unstable to be considered non-user friendly... catch my drift? I also think WMP is pretty good, and therefore a playforsure player would be great for me. However i just don't like them as much as i like sonys mp3 players.

I hate apple and everything they stand for. But i think it's a fair enough response. In this day and age you have to cover your ass - legal wise. On another note. I think i'd be pretty pissed if a 3rd grader wrote me letter with ideas on how to improve my product. There's no way in hell, apple hasn't already thaught of that, and decided it was a bad idea.

Honestly... i hate the ipod. It's a descent music player, but seriously guys, it's not all that. I don't understand how anyone can like the design, i guess the new shuffle is ok. But the 5g's are ougly as hell. The only reson 90% of their customers buy them is so they can prance around with those crappy headphones. Also i hate the people who buy them purely because they like the stupid concept, and the I - whatever branding. Another thing that i hate is the hole user friendliness trip, all they're doing is making computers usable by retards and screwing over the enthusiasts. Some people think they're cool because they were first company to develop a proper visual user interface for a computer. Well they weren't xerox came first. Well... thats my rant for the day.

Alright thanks guys! So does that mean that there's actually no point in converting my mp3 files to atrac before transfering them to the player. Besides from the higher compression that is. Ummm k. I might try the harddrive thing later, but thanks for the heads up. And well... i just prefer to be able to swap the battery out myself, i've had some really bad experiences with li-ions crapping out before they were supposed to. Does anyone know where you can buy a new battery, and how much it costs?

Hi guys, i recently ordered an a3000. Haven't gotten it yet, but i'm looking forward to it! I have a couple of questions about it though. 1. Is it possible to change the battery? 2. I'm thinking about swapping out the harddrive with something larger, do you know if there is anything in the firware that would prevent this? Where is the firmware stored, rom or hdd? 3. When playing MP3's does it still convert them on the fly, or has the new firmware given it native mp3 support? Thanks
