iPod switch to Sony NW-HD5
 

I'm pretty illiterate about this stuff but currently I have an iPod mini with about 3.9 gig loaded. I'm looking at buying the Sony NW-HD5 because of the stated 40 hour battery life and 20 gig. Anyone own one of these and can comment? Will it download the music I have stored on the computer to load the iPod?

It will download the music as long as its not in the Ipod specific format. You may have to convert it to Mp3 or ATRAC if its in ipod mp4 format. ATRAC is sony's special format.

You won't be disapointed with the HD5 its one of those ipod killers thats hidden by the ipod hype machine. It has no color screen though.
