I've just gone and bought myself an NW-HD5 from Amazon, and have just dowloaded the SonicStage software. I just have a question, is the 66 kpbs ATRAC3plus similar or the same in quality to a 128 kpbs MP3 (as Sony suggest)?
				
			No. ATRAC3's not a very good codec considering how much SONY pushes it down everyone's throat. In my personal testing, you can expect an 80+kbps ATRAC3plus file to sound about equal to a 128kbps Lame mp3.Bingo Jesus posted on Aug 26 2005 at 08:27 AM said:I've just gone and bought myself an NW-HD5 from Amazon, and have just dowloaded the SonicStage software.

(I wish I had known about this earlier, since it would have helped me out big time)
Congrats on getting a HD5, I have an old HD3 and it smokes the ipod any day
