Good I've found & read this topic, I never knew about the ability to read ATRAC files through WMP. I do now & am using it right now. Works great. Crossfading. Quicker start-up. EQ. Humm! Thanks. Shame auto volume leveling doesn't apply for it though, like the dynamic normalizer on RH1. One can't have everything, I guess...

Hi Wizard! :pleasantry:

Sorry my friend, I couldn't let that comment about the volume limiter go without a response!

I can't believe you like that (although I'm not criticising you, so please don't take offence). Most people hate it; it was put there as an EU regulation (Nanny State) to protect our poor wittle ears! It has a detrimental effect on the sound quality when played at upper volume levels (squashes and compresses the sound - but don't confuse this with data compression, this is audio dynamic compression).

American players (at least true last time I researched this) don't have this limiter installed and thus have been very popular with buyers in Europe obtaining them from the USA via mail order.

Hi mate, i'm afraid you misunderstood him...He's not talking about the volume limitation (aka AVLS), but from an option that you can activate from the remote, pressing the sound button.

You have many different options: Use the HD postprocessing DAC, using either preset or customized EQ, and using the normalized audio he was referring to :)
