Question

The specs for my NW-A3000 say it supports WMA, MP3 and ATRAC, this is good, as my music collection is WMA and MP3, from my old Creative Jukebox 3.

However, I cannot seem to copy these file types to the device, the Connect software wants to transcode them to OMG format!!

Surely Sony cannot claim a hardware device to support a format, when all they do is convert that format in software to work with their ATRAC format (I assume this is what OMG files are..)

Am I missing something obvious? I was planning on not converting all my music to ANOTHER music format....

Unfortunatly you are going to have to convert the files to atrac before you can put them on the player. I'd definetly recomend using sonic stage to do the conversion as you can convert all your files in one go ( ok it takes a while but at least you can just leave it running without worrying about connect player going tits up and corrupting the library ) also if you do it through connect player you tend to end up with 2 copies of everything in the library 1 .oma and 1 .wma

Err not true, you don't have to convert all files to atrac, mp3s work just fine, wmas I think do not yet, but I haven't tried them yet.

the files appear as OMA on the player, since CP adds a layer of protection around them so they can't be copied to another pc, but in they are still mp3 files.
