[gentoo-user] File system on Sony nw-e405
Hi, and Merry Christmas!Anyone with an idea what file system Sony has put on the mp3-player? They have their own proprietary transfer app - which is Windows only, naturally. My partner finally bought a mp3-player the other day, and now we are having problems with the CD on our Windows laptop. So I though I'd just move stuff from my disk to the mp3-thingie. Personally I won't buy a Sony thing after their total f-up with the DMR software.Regards,Martin S

It was so convoluted to set up that I almost threw the thing out the window. You need the latest MDAC 2.8 from mickeysoft to get the Sony software to work. And no - didn't buy it myself - got it at my company's last meeting as a door prize.
