I have never used the official firmwares on my Neuros (Everything is ogg...)
but I would suspect that the Neuros normally doesn't run with the HD
on all the time, either.  I noticed that it never shuts off or spins
down when listening to oggs.  Can anyone confirm?

The announcement on the new features schedule imply this is (if not
already existant) at least planned:

"Multiple song caching"
(presumably rather than single song caching)

"Damn, it's a very exciting time"

Ciao!
