See that is why I am stuck in the god-awful Sony trap. It can handle more bass, has a battery life the second best manufacturer doesn't even match with half and it is significantly smaller than anything with a similar hard drive size. So I suffer daily with SonicStage 3.1 which according to me is much worse than 2.3 as they've done away with the groups layout and the HD5 doesn't support groups either so everything I have learnt from minidiscs and previous sony HDD players is lost now - very, very annoying. But then the battery is good and it is small and cute - so you win alot and you lose alot... absolute love-hate at its worst...
