[gentoo-user] File system on Sony nw-e405

Hi,

and Merry Christmas!
Anyone with an idea what file system Sony has put on the mp3-player? They
have their own proprietary transfer app - which is Windows only, naturally.
My partner finally bought a mp3-player the other day, and now we are having
problems with the CD on our Windows laptop. So I though I'd just move stuff
from my disk to the mp3-thingie.

Personally I won't buy a Sony thing after their total f-up with the DMR
software.


Regards,

Martin S

I have an NE-E105 and have to use the Sony Connect software (Windoze
only) to transfer music. It was so convoluted to set up that I almost
threw the thing out the window. You need the latest MDAC 2.8 from
mickeysoft to get the Sony software to work.

And no - didn't buy it myself - got it at my company's last meeting as a
door prize.

The same can be said about Sony MiniDisc, seems to me that all Sony equiment
has this protection or whatever they call it.

I have plenty of common sense,
I just choose to ignore it.

I have Sony CD-mp3CD player supporting their own Atrack3plus format with only 
windoze soft. I tested it, good thing you can put about 30 albums to one CD 
but quality is very poor, below my more than 10 years old compact cassettes.

I was thinking of getting an Ipod Nano. Any problems with Linux?

`esearch ipod` would suggest it's well-supported. I don't have one 
myself, but I believe that many people use them under Linux.
