I find I get the best results when I buy the CDs and then rip the files to MP3 on my own -- that way I get everything that is in the track, without losing the endings of the selections.

And I feel that using an MP3 player to listen to music, rather than trying to listen on the Sony Reader, is the better way to go.

As a musical instrument repairman, I know that it's important to use the proper tool for the task at hand. I use the Reader to read with and I use an MP3 player to listen with.
