Suse, Linux and Sony NetMD

Hi

Has anyone got any up tp date info on whether Sony will provide Atrac3 decoders or drivers for Linux?

Suse 9.3 is brilliant, recognised my FujiFilm dig camera straight off. So I plugged in my NetMD, which I use lot, and it's there in the Unknown devices list.

But no software available. I've looked all over. Some threads here report that Sony somply don't do Linux.

Can this be true? (if so, thats a real blow to me, as I'm trying to whittle down all my uses for MSWindows so I can dump it for good).

thanks for that Abisko

theres not alot here though, other than something that can read your MD titles etc.
importantly, no download access, but they say they're working it.
