Yeah, I bought a NetMD about 2 years ago when they were first released in Japan, and it was the most frustrating, annoying experience ever! The software was so inadequate. I would try to do something, that in Windows, is common, like right click for menu options, etc and the software just wouldn't do it. And the fact that I had to transfer my MP3 collection into Sony's Atrac format just added another step in the frustration process. I haven't used that NetMD player in over two years and I wish I could get my money back. I now use a Creative Muvo for that quick transfer and out the door move, or an iRiver for traveling with more tunes. Oh yeah, one more thing-every Sony product I've purchased in the past die's at around the 5 year mark..I could set my watch to it without fail....
I will never buy another Sony Product
