I found quite by accident when running defrag that files I thought I'd deleted after burning my disc were still around - I've only burnt two discs so far, but managed to free up about 1GB of hard disc space when I found the files! They went into c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\sony corporation .......!! The files are either *.omg or *.rdb - hope this is useful. Rating:  - Sony Atrac/mp3 Cd PlayerI love this cd player, I got it for christmas and I think it may have been one of the best things I got! My old Personal CD Player was hardly used, as I found it to bulky but as this one is so small it fits perfectly into my handbag, so it is easy to carry around. The battery unit is stored inside the player, but that is not a problem as I use my cd player about an hour on average everyday and I have not had to change my batteries yet! Also there is a battery display on screen to tell you when your batteries are running low. As for the Atrac technology I love it, so far I have taken my faveourite songs of my albums and loaded them on to the cd, therefore I do not have to carry my cd collection everywhere with me. As for the software I thought it would be slow but I was surprised how quickly it transfered all the songs. I would say that if you were'nt bothered about getting a small MP3 player than this would be the product for you! Rating: - Awesome CD playerWell,,, not much to say about this player, it does what it says it does, it's got awesome battery life. I don't care for the Atrac software and/or compression, because it's not compatible with generic mp3 cd players. I was able to burn an "Mp3 CD" with Ahead's Nero Express, which played perfectly in this CD player, as well as my shelf system at work ;) Rating: - Poor man's iPod...Good points:- a) Great value - this plus 6 CD-Rs of mp3s gives you the equivalent of an iPod mini for less than a third of the price; b) Seems sturdily built - I dropped it (on a carpetted floor) with no apparent damage; c) Battery life seems fine. The power adapter that it comes with doesn't get warm even after ten hours continuous play; d) Generally quiet operation - just a short whirring/'sucking' sound every few minutes as it hoovers up the next section of data. Main gripe (and this may just be me):- One reason for buying this (apart from the price) was that I read that it can play m3u playlists burnt onto MP3 CDs. Technically it can, but I can get it to read only two playlists (out of eight) that I burnt onto a CD. If anyone's got it to read more than two playlists I'd be glad to learn what I'm doing wrong. (The manual is no help on this point.) Any other negatives are really nitpicking - I find the shape and surface quite slippery (hence me dropping it) and taking CD out is more fiddly than my previous Panasonic (and you have to take the CD out to replace the batteries). Overall this is a bit of kit I've been dreaming about for the last two years and I can fully recommend it if you don't mind limited playlist control. Rating:  - It does what it says on the tinI already own a personal CD player but was given this one as a present. The only benefits it has over my old one is that I can now get my entire CD collection onto one CD - if I could be bothered! Personally I'd rather read a book!
