Today I installed CONNECT Player, using the Manual Insallation technique i found in the forum. I don't have a new network walkman, but i wanted to test the software out.

things i have found:

tinyhttp.exe is not so 'tiny' when it comes to my system resources, at one point reaching 255MB+

importing files into the library is ver very slow, i gave up before finishing...

the library database appears to be kept in:

E:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Corporation\CONNECT Player\Library\0

the library 'main database file' seems to be: c2Library.xdb

there is another folder:

E:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Corporation\CONNECT Player\Library\1

based on some actions i have taken (deleting imported songs in library, then importing new ones) i think that this folder named '1' is a backup of the library database, because the c2Library.xdb in this folder did not show the new songs that i imported after the complete deletion of songs in my library

this folder appears to hold album art:

E:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Corporation\CONNECT Player\Library\0

i found that for each song(with embedded album art) that i imported, there would be a corresponding file in this folder

example, if i have 5 songs with album art, there will be 5 files in this 'b' folder

the files just have a numeric filename like, 8545.338724

i figured that these were album art files by looking through the c2Library.xdb, which can be done with any XML-capable text editor.

a snippet from the c2Library.xdb:

artwork="E:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Corporation\CONNECT Player\Library/0//../b/520645.401898" artworkFormat="image/jpg"

well that's what i have found so far, maybe this information could be useful to someone smarter!

on a side note, i like the way it looks. the purple color that sony is using for their new stuff is really starting to grow on me.
