didn't read the prior message where Sonicstage was mentioned. Yes, kinoma had nothing to do with the earlier versions - the ones that actually worked for me. Kind of clunky, but not the POS that was released as the last version that they did have a hand in.

The last version was so awful and I was told that they were the reason for it from a Sony exec that was sitting next to me on a plane. He asked me about the minidisc player that I had (newer model HiMD) and while I was praising the good features (incredible battery life, 40 hours per disk, didn't worry about getting stuck somewhere without a recharger because it took 'AA' cells, etc. But his face just fell and he fess'd up to the software shortcomings when I started sayign what was wrong with the thing.
