It appears that the infamous Connect Player is about to bite the dust; this is not too surprising considering the unprecedented amount of woes that users of the program have reported across the Internet. Apparently Sonicstage will recieve an update (!), and deliever equivalent functionality to NW-A series users. One can only assume that Sonicstage has now been resurrected, and will be updated often once again. Connect Player may possibly see a few maintenance releases, but it seems as if the software is finally being laid to rest. Incredible.
UPDATE: Sony has edited the below website and removed references to an upcoming version of Sonicstage that will mirror the current functionality of Connect Player. Don’t worry, they are still going to release such. (Thanks, sxc)
