Another curiosity is that SoundStage 3.2 is "seeing" the mounted 
volume and tracks (old disc/format) with an MD disc in Martyn's Sony 
M10, Gianni's Sharp IM-DR580HS and probably other recorders/players 
with usb. We can only imagine that this is a side effect of HiMD/MD 
compatibility and nothing Sony planned.  It is possible there's a way 
to build upon this to enable functions like transfers.  Perhaps an 
ambitious project, but clues are surfacing.
