Well, the "Huh" was on the "but w/o ES". I know only two sorts of ES:
1) Sony's 'End Search'
2) Sony's ES serie....

True. I just wanted to say that this would add a lot to the cost of the unit.
Sony has a unit with a docking station and it is expensive!

Or connect a USB modem and the recorder will lookup the titles for you. Hey, we
might even get it in a state where it can download the MP3s for you?
