asdfa 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2004 because this seems to be a general thread about MP3 players/ ipods now...for the sony "ipod" (the one with the good batter), is it true that you can only copy/transfer ATRAC files 3 times? I really want to get one but if i can't control my how many times i use my files, it's seriously not worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FireWire is 50x faster than USB 2.0 and its not mac only, windows too. Firewire is about 50 times faster than USB 1.0. Firewire and USB 2.0 are virtually identical in transfer speeds.
