Sorry, but the BS3 only plays back mp3 and WMA files: http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=948 So you will need to convert all your files. It's a pain, I know, as I have to do the same thing.

Thanks. Will get one of those batteries once my 8800 battery gets even worse. They still last me about 2-3 days at the moment. I agree that the 8800 is the best looking phone on the market at the moment (even in comparison to the 8600) - too bad the battery is naf.

Did you buy the battery for the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition BP-6X? I get quite poor battery life out of my standard 8800 batteries (like everyone else, I'm sure) so I'd be interested in seeing how much of an improvement the Sirocco batteries provide. Having said that, I do like the phone; the battery life is my only complaint about it.

saf: Well, if you hold the ST.BY for more than 5 sec then it will not keep on turning on in your bag. Interesting...I will try that. Thanks! EDIT - it works! The display flashes "OFF" before it switches off. Fantastic...another downside however is that you have to set the time on the clock again after you do that.

I've had my BeoSound 3 for about 2 months now. I'm not using it as much as I'd like (or should) but I am pleased with it. Battery Life The published specs list the battery life as 10 hours playback. As soon as I bought it, I took it with me on a week long ski holiday so that we could have music in the Chalet. I also brought the charger
