Ok. i guess i had to threaten them to get a normal answer. Vive la France.. from what Sony france said, 500~800KB/s is normal... I don't think it's normal and thinking it might be a USB controller bug and it's going to be fixed in a future firmware.. I can't admit Sony built a mp3 player with cheaper than cheap NAND memory modules..

I mailed Sony France and after 3 mails to and from them, all i got was some guy telling me Sony doesn't support 64bits OSes and it wasn't their problem because I told them I also use it with Vista 64bits... even tho I told him the upload speed is the same on a 32bits OS and that I also use it on xp 32bits. no help at all but pissing me off..

I sent a email to Sony because I'm starting to think it's not normal either. I'll keep you updated.

Hi, thanks for the replies. http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores...7&langId=-1 don't confuse compatible and compliant... USB 1.1 speed maxes at 12Mbps both way(in and out) 12Mbps = 1500KB/s. I wouldn't be able to download from the device at 4MB/s if it was just USB 1.1. it's just that they used cheap memory modules for this device. --download from the device---- -- Done: 1 (101.55MB) Err: 0 (0) Skipped: 0 (0) Tot: 1 (101.55MB) -- -- Average Transfer Rate: 4.39MB/Sec -- Elapsed Time: 23 sec ------ ----Upload to the device---- -- Done: 1 (101.55MB) Err: 0 (0) Skipped: 0 (0) Tot: 1 (101.55MB) -- -- Average Transfer Rate: 822.95KB/Sec -- Elapsed Time: 2 min 6 sec ---- and the file wasn't cached on the disk or anything. the device isn't bad, the sound is crystal clear without background noise or anything. it's just that I wasn't expecting Sony to use cheaper than cheap memory modules for their player... even my cheap USB key is faster than that when i upload something to it.

Hey everyone, I gave to my girlfriend my "old" NW-E003 and bought a NWD-B105 to try it out but uploading files or songs to my NWD-B105 seems to be 2x~3x slower than with my NW-E003.. I tried to transfer files and songs from my friend's computer thinking it was my computer that had a problem but the speed is the same and his vista shows the NWD-B105 uploading at 500~800KB/s.. that's USB 1.1 speed.. downloading from the player is pretty fast.. download top at like 5MB/s.. I don't understand.. is it a problem with my player or is it its real upload speed? thanks in advance Chris
