Greetings Audiophiles!
As someone who is always looking for the perfect MP3 player, I think I may have struck gold. I came across the Panasonic SD Multi A/V Device.

Will researching the unit, I noticed that it uses an app called SD-Jukebox to transfer music to the player. The program will only allow you to rip a cd and convert it to a watermarked file. The player will only recognize these watermarked MP3s. My problem is that I have spent days, if not weeks, ripping my entire 250 disc collection to my computer. Now it seems like I'll have to do it again. A while back ago, while researching Minidisc players, I came across a technique to get past Sony's copyright protection.

This saves much time for those of us with a large music collection. I'm hoping that one of you has one of these E-Wear players and have tried this process or one that's similer. I'm very close to buying this player, I just need to know how much hassle is involved in putting music on it.
