Does anyone know if AAC plus can be played by W800i and how do I actually convert AAC plus files?
I'm sure iTunes only does AAC conversion.

W800 doesn't support aac+.
W900 does. (MP3, AAC, AAC+, MIDI, WAV, and XMF )

a bummer for peeps with all their music in omg format in sonic stage. However it's a lot better than making devices that ONLY support atrac, such as Sony have done until recently.
Atrac is a highly proprietary and closed format. You also cannot export ATRAC to any other format, courtesy of Sony DRM. AAC is a way better format. More flexible (not limited to three or so Sony applications for ripping audio), portable and non-proprietary. I believe it also produces much better audio quality at the same bitrates.

In so far as I know, there is an AACPlus codec by dbPowerAmp. Maybe it only plays .aac Plus, but could also have a converter

well ive always been happy with Sony's products, from Minidisc to HiMD to their new HD walkmans, all of my CD collection was converted to mp3 first
But to me, sound quality is more important than how many tracks i can fit on it, i use 320Kbps mp3's at 44Khz. compared to other peoples ipods they all seem to have there music in a poor 'tape' quality 128kbs AAC.

I've always like Sony products myself. I owned the first NetMD model and still own a Sony Walkman (tape!), Sony headsets, and from SE, an HBM-30 (atrac/mp3 player combo bluetooth headset) and the K750 (with HPM-70).
Sony hardware is solid and always nice to use, and the only thing I ever really had a problem with is Atrac. It couldn't handle really complex audio pieces without weird compression artifacts (much worse I thought than mp3 and aac).
Atrac runs at 292Kbps in sp mode. MDLP2 runs at 132Kbps, and MDLP4 runs at 66Kbps. When I had the netmd, it was not possible to copy SP quality audio to the player without doing an optical realtime recording. So I never really got to listen to much SP audio.
The MDLP formats just didn't cut it and I eventually got sick of it and went to a full blown mp3 player. Much more convenient, and I could use any bitrate I wanted easily.

i agree on the sounds quality however your not tied to 128kbs that would just sound better than an mp3 at 192kbs if you up aac to 192 or higher you get even better sound results.
also if size isnt an issue like it isnt for me apple lossless is simply superb sounding ,files come out at about 20mb a track but the result is so good its worth it
