does this mp3 player allow us to store other files? like a usb drive?

This does indeed work as a normal thumbdrive, but the playback features will only work if the media is placed in certain folders, which SonicStage (Connect) takes care of. If you have a MAC, unfortunatley Sony doesn’t currently have any support for transfering music back and forth, however this should work just fine for thumbdrive capablities.

Sony NW-E407 Network Walkman (1GB)…

Now that most of Sony’s portable audio devices actually play MP3s, they’re finding a place among the top-rated players. It’s no surprise, really; Sony has a history of creating well-designed portables with fantastic……

Google a bit; unfortunately, even the latest version is crash-prone and slow. I can’t even get it to install on my laptop. There is a fix, though: reinstall Windows from scratch, and it “should” work. Additionally, although the player itself does, SonicStage doesn’t support east asian character sets (surprising, since Sony is, you know, Japanese). Considering most Chinese names are either two or three characters long, this unfortunately results in all music being categorized under “??” or “???” :)

Regardless of OS choice or any of this, it’s frustrating that we are *forced* to use their software. Would be nice to have some options. Because it sure is nice having 50+ hours of battery life on a charge.

It’s not that I mind SonicStage that much. Earlier version were crash-prone and slow, but the more recent versions are quite stable and do a decent job of managine music.

What I do mind is that, at least with my NW-HD3, I have to use Sonic Stage. That limits me to using Windows, which isn’t my OS of choice.

They’re really great players; and with regard to the Gizmodo story about Sony’s next iPod killer, (since I can’t post on Gizmodo yet), I think Sony would have every chance to topple the iPod with its players if it would just abandon the infernal SonicStage software. At least in my opinion, the software has been the nasty thorn on Sony’s rose ever since the first days of NetMD.
