i've read from a few places that this last remaining md is how md should've been, easier to transfer stuff to it, less silly restrictions with transferring music etc. This true? Might save up for one of them if i get the use out of my md player when it arrives! Just bought one of those little sony dual head mics to go with it too!
If my N505 had had that ability, I may well have stuck with the format for longer. Ultimately though, unless they could fit an MD into a mobile phone, I was gonna convert to AAC + Mobiule Phone eventually anyway.
However, it would still be very useful as a recording device for example converting old LP's, Jam sessions etc. So maybe I will look at the one remaining consumer MD drive

Another probably daft question - I know there are 'bookmarking' options with MD players, but do they just 'bookmark' particular favourite tracks or does it also remember where you are in a particular track?
What I mean is these audiobooks I have are just one big MP3, 200-300Mb in size, and having to try to get to where I am in the audiobook when I resume listening to it will become harder and harder the further I am into the book. Does the 'bookmark' fuction also work in such a way as to remember where I am in a particular audiobook, i.e. so I can just insert a MD with that audiobook on and be able to find where I left off last time I was listening to that book?
I hope this makes sense!

hey tranced, I just got one of those thingy's too. I love it to death. It's revitalised the MD format for me. $39 bucks at WOW Sight and Sound.
With the HiMD format, you can copy tracks to PC using sonic stage then convert to WAV, MP3 or other format (using himdrenderer). No DRM protection! To test, I recorded fm radio output from my K800 via hpm-70 to line in on the minidisc, then uploaded the saved track to PC and converted to mp3, no worries!
The HiMD drive also acts as a usb storage device, NO DRIVERS! That's better than even my old K750 can do! The HiMD discs are 1GB capacity, or standard 170MB minidiscs when formatted as "hi-md" have their capacity almost doubled to 300MB.
The only downside, you still can't just drag and drop an mp3 to the data drive via Explorer- it won't play on the minidisc. You still have to use SonicStage to convert and transfer. The latest Hi-MD drives do play mp3 natively, so you don't have to convert before transfer, however you still need to use SonicStage to transfer - no drag and drop via Explorer.
Anyway, Sonicstage 4 is a shitload better than 2. It's actually usable as a music library software. You can atleast import mp3 into sonicstage without having to convert to atrac - and if you have an older hi-md like me, it will convert to atrac when transferring. Not as good as itunes, but like I said, usable, which is a big step forward for Sonic Stage

I think you can only do that via Sonic Stage. You can use the onboard menu to erase all.
EDIT: It appears you can delete tracks on the device - from the manual:
while playing the track you weant to erase, enter the menu and select "edit" - "erase" - "tune:erase".
"erase OK?" and "PUSH YES:ENTER NO:CANCEL" appear in the display.
If the selected track was transferred from the cimputer, "TrkFromPC ERASE OK?" appears in the display.
Press the play key to erase the track.

Apparently Sony is dropping all drm, including the Sony Connect store, and will start selling MP3 without DRM.

I never bought any retail discs. I'd much rather buy the CD so I can rip quality MP3's off them, and still copy to mini-disc if I want
