ISTR that Sony do one although I believe it uses ATRAC rather than MP3
encoding

Yes, mine swallowed 230 CD's and then suddenly decided that the first
170 were PCM, not ATRAC format, hence they don't play (20 seconds of
white noise actually). Only three weeks wasted! :-(

It's with Sony at the moment for repair, although unless they can tell
me what they fix I won't be accepting it back. I suspect a software
glitch, and hence it could recurr.
