It really doesn't pay to put any money into the R3. It was released 6 years
ago and improvements in ATRAC have come along way since then.
If you don't want to wait to see what happens with Net MD, depending upon your
budget, for between $200 and $250 you can buy a Sony R700. It is an MDLP
unit. They just released the 909 which uses the most advanced DSP that Sony
offers in portables, Type R. But I expect the price to be high for a while.
If you use your unit a lot and it is the only portable you have, waiting for
Net MD (which may never happen for all we know) isn't practical. The R900 is
a nice unit and it's price may be dropping now that they have released the
909.
