  1. Has anyone had any experience with the Panasonics? I bought a pair a couple of months ago. Since I hadn't tried canal phones until that moment I was more than surprised at the sound and I loved them. And all for just $20! However I lost my favorite silicon plugs and now they stay im my ear uncofortably and there is no way of ordering spare plugs. Besides that the cord seemes too fragile to hold on for any more than another couple of months.

    So I am wondering if it is worth buying a new pair or should I try some canal Sony-s for under 40$. Thanks for sharing your opinions :)

  2. I am pretty sure that they both use different processors, but I could not notice any sound quality difference between them. You can maybe check those japanse/chinese sites where they take apart the device and have dozens of high res photos of all the insides up close.

    Thanks! But I was just interested in the feauters...As long as the sound quality is the same I don't care about the processor... :)

  3. I'm still using my A608 from last year and out of the 4 times I've had to send mine back for repair, 2 of them were due to the OLED display completely disappearing. It didn't grow dimmer as time passed, it just stopped displaying one day. Now, my warranty is over and it's happened a 3rd time and I'm stuck with a player that has no display, I can't even tell visually when the thing is low battery/fully charged. Maybe mine is just an isolated case :sad: .

    Hope u have better luck than me!

    Perhaps the problem is not in the OLED technology itself but somewhere on the board...

    Btw exept for the memory and color are there any other differences between the A608 and the E50x?

  4. Hi again everybody...

    Ever since buying my e407, after coming across several publications about the short lifespan of OLED-technology displays, I kinda freaked out and kept watching my display expecting it to turn green or something :lol:

    So I wonder when and if it is going to screw up...

    I ask all you who have had OLED display players for a long time to share your experience with these displays...

    Thanks :)

  5. well i want to ask that if accidently my walkman i mean nwe005 is connected to pc and power fails or pc shutdown does this damage the walkman. i live in pak where power failure is a major porblem. what to do..

    As long as you are not putting any music on it during the power outage it is ok....You dont need to "Safely remove hardware" to pull it out (unlike the iPODs)....If the power shuts down during the moment you are uploading tracks, you will need to reset it or in some cases format it...Nonetheless you can't damage the player itself.

  6. A very big part of my music are DJ mixes, which are at least 1 hour long each. Because of Sony's feally fast fast forward I always have to split the big files into several smaller. I hate to do it every time I want to put them in my NW. So I am wondering if there is a way to accelerate the FF rate. Pls help.. :(

  7. Try to convert the mp4s directly into mp3. There are tons of freeware for the purpose. Then u can use the MP3 file manager or SonicStage to imprort them into the walkman.

  8. You need the 2.0 version of the file manager for the e407. The older versions are made for other models. As for the MP3s - I sometimes get the <CANNOT PLAY> messege for some MP3s but that happens only with several files. Try to convert the MP3's to a higher bitrate. That usually works for me....Or you will have to use SonicStage...Didn't have any problems with it so far.

  9. I have read from many sources that ATRAC3plus @ 64kbps has the same sound quality as MP3 @ 128kbps.

    So I assumed that @192 kbps the ATRAC2plus will sound much better than MP3 @ 192kbps(which is the average bitrate of my mp3 collection).

    So I coverted all of my collection into ATRAC3plus directrly from MP3. But now as I listen to the same file in the two formats with same bitrates I don't seem to notice any difference even with a high-end earphones. Is it just me?

    My questions are:

    1. Does Atrac3plus 192kbps sound better than MP3 @192 if ripped directly from a CD?

    2. And does it sound better if converted from the original MP3 file?

  10. The E407 is USB 1.1 only, period. The word "compatible with USB2.0" just means that you can use a USB1.1 devices with USB2.0 ports, but the speed is still USB1.1.

    Does this mean that the E507 is also a USB 1.1 device? I ask this because a friend of mine owns a 507 and says that he can fill up the whole 1 GB for just around 10 mins.

  11. I bought a NW-E407 three days ago after a thorough market research. Everywhere I looked they said that the model supports USB 2.0. I also asked a friend of mine who owns one and she said that it really does. However no matter what drivers and SonicStage versions I installed I couldn't reach the speed of even USB 1.1!!! I am sure that my USB port is 2.0 because when I insert a thumbdrive or my girlfriend's iPOD in it the transfer speed is really 2.0-like.

    Then I thought that maybe my old NW-E103's driver could be the problem and that it thinks that i plugged-in a 107 for example. I compared the data transfer speeds of both drives and they were exactly the same :( .......

    I talked to the kind people in the sony support site but they just told me to reinstall SonicStage which didn't work before or after.

    Please somebody tell me what to try next and if there is a point at all...Or I will just have to wait half an hour every time I want to fill up the 1G 407.
