Arne - Thanks making clear the file formats and the whitepaper. I didn't know .m4a was the same as an MP4 audio file. iTunes is a bit confusing as well as the tracks are listed as AAC so I thought they were different formats.
Ricky - Thanks, that's reassuring to know. I don't usually use full brightness on my current phone so don't mind lowering it so could probably get a bit extra as well by doing that then.
I'll have a look into using Google Music as well. With that, does it mean music is streamed from their servers or is it then downloaded and stored locally on the phone?

With Google Music you initially send all your music up to the Google servers, then you stream what you want or if you have certain playlists, tracks or albums you always listen to you can "Make available offline" which does exactly what it says on the tin. You can stream the music on any device that an install the Google Music app or on your desktop through your favourite web browser.
Just a heads up that I forgot to mention, on Google Music requires you to be in America to initially register (you can round it with a proxy server or VPN service). After registering though, it doesn't care where you are to upload and stream. It also has a storage limit of 5,000 songs.
On the up side, buying music from Google Play store adds the song instantly to your online collection and (the point that sold it to me) it doesn't carry any DRM of any kind. So you can download the song and do whatever the hell you want with it, unlike iTunes where if you download a song you have to play it on authorized Apple devices only and your mate can't rob it. Music was fun before iTunes.

Woah that's awesome, thanks for introducing it to me.
I've managed to sign up and started the upload process. Apparently it's now available to UK and some of Europe + up to 20,000 songs!!!!
That's definitely quashed any doubts about getting the TX now.

Glad I could help. I didn't realise they opened up to Europe already. That's good news.
One other thing I forgot to mention too.. Google Music won't import playlists so you'll have to rebuild all your playlists unfortunately. Which can be a pain in the arse.

In their strive to make things simpler, sometime it becomes harder. Especially if the nomenclature Apple uses is not used by anyone else.

I was able to upload most of my Playlist into Google Music Manager. however, there's a max of 1000 songs in one playlist. I have several playlist with some over 2000, it cuts off at 1000. hard to enjoy it like that. but all my playlist with less than 1000, does upload and plays fine. although some songs are missing... I had the same problem with itunes. either format or filename issues. I have many songs not in english, .i.e. Japanese, Chinese, Koreans characters.
btw, question to all, but maybe Ricky D knows.... how do I root my TX?

Just had it - Xperia T - in my hands today.
So cool, well made etc.
But I thought my Xperia S is still great.... Maybe I should wait for the 2013 flagship.

u mean the Xperia V? which is coming out January 2013 at the latest? that phone is a beauty. I'm eyeing that one as well. it everything that is Xperia T/TX, minus the 4.5, but 4.3 instead (which is fine) and best of all, IP57 certified, meaning water and dustproof. AND removable battery, the same as my amazing TX (LT29i). It also will come with JB 4.1.

@Big_D
If you're running FW 7.0.A.1.xxx you can use
bin4ry's root many script which is dead simple, unpack the zip, run the .bat and follow the instructions.
If you're on 7.0.A.3.xxx you can currently only root by unlocking the bootloader, flashing a new kernel and flashing a root patch from CWM.
I can give you further instructions if you need them.
@doministry
I'd be tempted to wait just a few months for what comes out of CES/MWC the worst that will happen is you don't like the new devices and T or S will be cheaper. Saying that I bought TX not long after launch, I just couldn't wait.
