First off hi all new to the forum and i hope someone can answer my questions purchased the above player in the UK and am really impressed with it after performing the volume hack but have one or two niggles with it (questions). 1. If i am playing music and press pause the player turns it self off in under 30 seconds is there any way to extend the time before power down as i find myself constantly having to turn it back on which i feel uses more power. 2. Is there anyway of stopping the artist link button from turning on the player as when it is in my pocket it keeps getting accidentally turned on. 3. after installing the connect software which i got on quite well with using full sync to keep the Walkman up to date with the PC, i found i had to format my PC thus losing my library on the PC, is there anyway to back the software settings up on the PC so that after reinstalling windows and connect software everything matches again instead of losing everything. thx a lot dazzer12
