Why can't I transfer Mp3 files with the NH600D?

[timonoj]

Well, I downloaded some songs from the internet and wanted to copy them onto my NH600D unit, but I can't! I have to transcode them first onto wav, before trying so. It keeps saying something like "not allowed to transfer.." and lists the whole list of songs that it couldn't transfer, misteriously all of them mp3. Maybe there is something else that I didn't notice, or I missed... but I'm not sure...Why so? Do you think I should remove the whole database of tracks from my computer?

Thanks!

The NH600D being a first generation Hi-MD unit has no Mp3 native playback support; thus you need to convert the file to .wav and then to ATRAC3/ATRAC3plus. You will need a 2nd generation portable recorder (such as the MZ-RH10, MZ-DH10P, MZ-RH910) to playback Mp3 tunes natively.

Yep, I know that, I don't bother in trying to transfer "just as is" mp3 files, but converted to atrac3plus 64kbps...What I mean, is when I try to transfer an imported mp3 file, I mean, transfer transcoding it onto Atrac3Plus, it just won't let me to do so. It just let me when its origin is .wav or in a very few cases also .mp3

Anyone knows why? Thanks!
