Got an A3000 for Xmas - first MP3 player ever owned, so naturally assumed the bundled Connect software would be most appropriate.
After a week of agonising use (painfully slow to open and use; leaving gaps in library display; incapable of recognising audio CDs with any data content; full sync missing out albums/artists), I installed SonicStage 3.3, imported all my ATRAC files, and deleted Connect.
Subsequently managed to achieve in 2 hours what I had been trying to do for 2 days (i.e. full and clean sync between PC and A3000). Everything about SonicStage is faster, more intuitive, and generally works as it should.
If you buy an A1000/A3000, dont even open the Connect CD.
