The program is pretty slow and often produces errors which has largely led to Sony abandoning the project. Unlike competing programs like iTunes, SonicStage does not contain any of the pretty graphics you might have expected. The earlier models only supported the SonicStage format but Sony seems to have loosened up on that.
