Not that I know of. I think the firmware doesn't support this kind of property.

Try reseting the player, and plugging the player in a couple of time (to the computer). Are your mp3 or w/e music files you uploaded have a constant bitrate? I know for one thing and it's that the player can't play music files that don't have a constant bitrate, well at least on mine it can't. If worst comes to worst, delete the files you uploaded and reupload them to your player. Hope this helps.

That's good to know, just in case someone else or mine has a problem, I could still send it in for repairs. The only reason why I bought this player instead of the Ipod nano is because of the battery life. I listen to music everyday for 2 hours a day and I could use it for 3 weeks straight with no problem, and that's what I mostly liked about it. I really hate charging the battery, 2 reasons, one wastes time, and two, battery stability decreases every time you charge it so the less you charge it, the better your battery life stays. Anyways, to end this off, I know for one thing, and it's that it'll take a while before you get your player back, at least a month, from my previous experience and from my friends as well. Anyways, good luck!

Sounds like you got a bad battery with your player. I don't know if the warrenty covers battery related problems. If it doesn't, then you'll have to buy a new battery. Also, did you upgrade the firmware? The old firmware reduces battery life so it is recommended you upgrade it, or try reseting your player from the batton at the back. Sorry this might sound offensive but do this at your own risk, I won't be held responsible for your actions. Besides that, good luck fixing your player . Might I suggest getting the new SP2?

no i asked them about the nwa608, the model was gone as well. n e ways checked futureshop and they have it. wat a stupid clerk....

where i am in canada its discontinued, i recently went to the sony store and they said it was discontinued. lol i have it, just that i feel like asking for the price and wat not, if theres a change and i get ripped off.

the a60x players have been discontinued in some places if not all. which means they will no longer sell it. im pretty sure they really dont care if u get AAC or not, cause it's discontinued. as for the other A series (1000, 3000) they are still currently being sold so more care has been given for the satisfaction of the buyer. well this is my opinion, i could be wrong, but i dont see any other reasons why they don't release 3.0 yet.

its for players in europe and asia i think. sony.com wont have it (.com is North America or canada in our case). no AAC file support yet in this firmware, hence its 2.1 instead of 3.0.

yea it looks nice, but on sony style it said it only has 28 hours of playback instead of 50 hours, is it true? if it isn't then that's good for you lol (not in the mean way), if it is then i feel special with my nwa608 lol

im sorry i forgot to mention im using USB 1.1, i dont have 2.0, but i think it should take around 30mins (just guessing), from an old post mentioning it

If you have all the albums ready to upload on the connect player, then its not too slow, maybe around an hour and a half give or take. And for the rest, I know I only get 1.9GB on my player (some used for memory) but on my connect player it says i got 8 more mb's but i can't upload a song (worth 4mb) through connect player, it gives me a error saying its full. but if i where to drag and drop something directly onto my device (maybe 5 mb) it'll upload perfectly.

many stores in my area still sell it, the sony store, london drugs and stuff still have it, just checked yesturday, in burnaby bc

I've uploaded around 2 GB's of songs (or 1.9GB) or that I have like around 8mb left on my player. My question is, does anyone have a player that experiences a problem after you upload around as much as I did on the player, and when you go to unplug it from the computer, it takes like 15sec or so to load with the screen "DATA ACCESS" before being able to use your device? Also I have 8 mb of space left which means I could upload 1 or more songs, but Connect wont let me because it keeps saying that its full and there no more space, that song is less than 5mb. I have 8 mb left I checked it manually and with that 8mb I could drag and drop files onto it with no problem. Anyone else with that problem?

after upgrading to 2.0 is it possible to downgrade the firmware for whatever reason? i know it's not a good idea but wondering if you can. thanks in advanced.

Ok, for people who want to know why you can (yes I mean CAN) use Mp3 File Manager on their NWA-608 i'll explain why here. You can use Mp3 File Manager for the NWE series on your NWA-608 series as well. But if you use it then you will get the limited functions error on your player. Why? Because, the NWA series have the new functions the "Intelligent Shuffle", the NWE does not have those. That will include options such as Recent Transfer, Release Year, and Favorite 100 etc. That is what the Mp3 File Manager cannot support and therefore will not work. Why? When you install Connect Player software that came with your NWA608, it will install DAT Files onto your NWA608 (the DAT Files will contain your song list, settings etc. for intelligent shuffle. DAT Files located in OMGAUDIO folder). Connect will be able to 'read' these files it created and the Mp3 File Manager wont. Connect created files only it is able to decrypt and read, while the Mp3 File Manager can't. The DAT Files are and should be located in a folder called "OMGAUDIO". Mp3 File Manager will not be able to upload songs due to the fact it can't read the DAT Files created by Connect Software (Much like a person not knowing another language). So you want Mp3 File Manager to upload? Simple, just go to your flash drive and delete "OMGAUDIO" folder created by Connect (that will contain your songs, I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR YOUR ACTIONS, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. RISKS ARE THAT YOUR SONGS WILL BE GONE). That's it. You don't have to uninstall Connect Player or Sonic Stage. Now install Mp3 File Manager and open it. Drag and drop anything you want now, HOWEVER, since the NWE doesn't have the "Intelligent Shuffle" features and that Mp3 File Manager is built for NWE, you will not be able to use those functions on your NWA-608. When you installed Mp3 File Manager, it also created DAT Files as well, but not the same as the ones Connect created, and therefore these files won't have the "Intelligent Shuffle" features/settings. Your player will basically act as if it was a NWE series, except for the fact it's 2GB. So if you want to use Mp3 File Manager, then you will have to sacrifice the "Intelligent Shuffle" options. Else use Connect. If you didn't understand how to get your NWA608 to use Mp3 File Manager, then here is a step by step guide: Warning, below is a simple guide for making Mp3 File Manager to working on your NWA-608. Follow instructions at your own risk. I am not responsible for any of your actions and anything that’s happens with your NWA-608 such as DATA lost and/or corruption. I have tested this and it has worked. 1. If you have not installed Sonic Stage or Connect before then skip to step 4. 2. Open your flash (NWA-608) drive. Should be F:\. 3. Delete the folder "OMGAUDIO" (everything in that folder) 4. Install the newest version of Mp3 File Manager. (Which is v2.0) 5. Open Mp3 File Manager program in F:\MP3FM (I think that’s the folder name, well w/e new folder it just created, just open that.) 6. Drag and Drop away. Do worry about it. My guess is that when you install Connect, you unpluged your player to early. What I mean is that connect CD has 2 free songs in it, its called Hyponized and Dance Karate (this may vary) and when you install the Connect Software, it will upload those 2 songs to your device, and somehow it might be that you unplugged it too early or that an error occur resulting that it didn;t installed those songs. Now your left with 2 songs with no DATA in it what so ever. Or it could be something else. Hope this helps.
