Proprietary music format
"Both devices use Sony's ATRAC3 music format and also play back MP3, WAV and WMA audio formats. The Network Walkman will hold up to 13,000 songs, while the Vaio Pocket will hold 26,000, according to Sony."

They sound great, but you know they won't support MP3, WAV, and WMA. They come with software to convert those three to ATRAC3, the same as with MD. Whole load of BS, otherwise i might be interested.
