I've discovered that i had disconnected the drive at some point months ago and when i reconnected it was given a new letter assignment. I changed the drive back to the original letter and reloaded the 30 or so cd's that were loaded with the errant letter and it all works again. Thanks so much. I've found that the NW-ZX1 will in fact work with SS 4.2. I prefer this version as SS4.3ult was always buggy on my Win7 32 system (unexplained crashes and such). When I first plugged in the ZX1 to my SS4.2 system it didn't recognize. So I upgraded to SS4.3 and it worked and I loaded music to the device. I then deleted 4.3 thinking it was related to the drive issue and reloaded 4.2 to continue troubleshooting. Funny enough, when I plugged the ZX1 back in, SS4.2 now recognizes the device. This forum has been invaluable through all this and I'm so very grateful.

Sorry, yes, meant lossless. I'm looking to have SS4.3 convert from 352lossless to 352atrac when transferring to the zx1. I'm okay with quality step down in favor of better space utilization. The songs that are not greyed out convert fine albeit slow. All of the tracks are on an external drive for which I fixed both permissions and ownership. I can write to the drive, delete other content from it, however, nothing i do in regedit or otherwise returns the tracks to non-grey status in SS4.3. I'm looking to maintain the playlist / architecture of SS so drag / drop isn't for me at this time. Not sure I understand what you mean by the File Conversion Tool? All my files were uploaded as Lossless atrac. Thanks again!

Can't thank all of you enough for the help. As i get deeper into my use of the NW-ZX1 I've found a problem with SS 4.3. Most of my music files (though uploaded by cd by me, no protection added) have greyed out fields on the properties tab of the songs. I can't fix any aspect of the songs (correcting genre label for instance) and then encounter a problem when I *ask* SS to convert from ATRAC lossy 352 to regular Atrac 352 to transfer to the device. It gives me an error and won't play ball. "SS can not transfer the following files" This scenario was present in SS4.2 but when I migrated to SS4.3 to use the ZX1 it went widespread in my library Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks so much. Downloaded the 4.3 ult and it works!! Just need to go back and upload 1,000 or so album covers now that they matter. Much appreciated!! Next question...when I plug in the unit it says i have 114gb of available space. Seems like 14gb is a large chunk for Android to be taking up. Though this is my first android device. Any sense of whether or not that's normal? very best, D

Hello! My entire library is in SS 4.2 at 352kbps (4.3 glitches for some reason), any idea if I get the Japanese NW-ZX1 if I can load music just as I do with my HD5? I'm looking to upgrade from my NW-HD5 and retain the convenience and familiarity of sonic stage. Thank you!
