General Comments
Got my Sony NW-HD3 Portable MP3 Player from Argos in the sale (think Sony were bringing out a new range so Argos were getting rid of the old stock?)
Anyway, i'm quite pleased with it - battery life is phenomenal, left it on by accident for hours and hours the other week and battery was still more than half full.
I've also had problems with the software - Occasionally makes my PC crash with a protection fault, anyone else had this?? I am getting used to the software though and the Atrac3 format does seem OK - almost as good quality as MP3 but far smaller files.
I'm confused by the adaptor that links into both the power lead and the USB lead - im scared stiff of losing the adaptor!! Does anyone know what the point of this is??
