Hi Chuck--
If Sony sent you a general URL, pass it around and others will chime
in. It does seem reasonable to ask them to not defeat simple file
usb drag-copy transfers-- the disc volume mounts very reliably on Mac
and PC as-is. The other piece we need is the ATRAC decode software.
I'd like to see it as a plug-in so I could expand, EQ, gain boost and
transfer to 24 bits all in one step directly from the oma or wav file
in my editing time line. There was talk of Sony providing this plug
in their software, Sound Forge. With an oma decoder in hand, I'd
feel more comfortable archiving the oma files. Rob D.
