Hi. I've used Nero before and also use Roxio Easy Media Creater. The problem with THIS program is, Sony has its own proprietary file format and you have to, as far as I can tell, use their SonicStage program to play the files or to burn CD's of them...Not cool. I'll try the reader you mentioned though and see what comes of it.

Good Luck let me know if you succeed? 73 Dick AB7HW and Scotty W7WOOF the Wonder Guide Dog! ----- Original Message ----- From: Wes Derby To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, August 07, 2005 11:12 PM Subject: SonicStage and JFW Hi All. Okay, got another one for you...Anyone had experience with, or know if there are scripts for, SonicStage from Sony Connect? With our grocery shopping at Albertsons, we got 5 free downloads from Sony Connect music service. This is great except, to play the songs OR to burn them to CD, they require you to download this SonicStage software client...That'd be fine, except it doesn't really seem to work with JAWS. I can access the menu system fine, but that's it...I can't see my library, and when I select "Burn a CD", I can't "see" the list of available songs so I can select what I want to go onto the CD and in what order. I imagine it's similar to ITunes, just a different file format...Stupid me; I downloaded my free songs and bought seven others...So, any help using this thing or anyone who knows of scripts would be appreciated.
