I heard that voidmp3fm works with these models. I tried it on mine but kept getting unstable system errors which is normal for anything I do on my computer. lol It did communicate with the unit though and I imported all of my songs (800+) in a few seconds. I was hoping so much that this program would work as SS has made me pull out most of my hair. Not sure how album pics etc. would work. Defintely worth checking into more. Has anyone used this program for these models?

I have version 4.1 and it takes at least 20 seconds for me to change the name of songs, etc.. I have always been a patient person, but this is really testing me. lol Took me at least 10 hours to edit everything. Best thing to do is watch your favorite TV program while your playing with SS.

I finally got the problem fixed! I installed SS 4.3 on a friends computer and plugged my player into it. It then proceeded in putting some kind of information into the unit for a few minutes. I then took it back to my computer and installed all of my songs with no problem. I do recommend that you don't use the players built in format command and use the SS software delete songs command instead to avoid this potential problem. I called Sony about the issue and that was a joke. Don't waste your time. The lady will just play around on the Sony website with you on the phone looking for your problem. She ended up telling me that Windows 98 SE wasn't compatible with the SS program even though I had installed the program and loaded 3.5gigs of music on my player already.

I hope someone can help me. I am running windows 98 SE and Sonicstage 4.1 CP. My player is a NWS706F. I intalled the program and loaded my music just fine. The player performed great and sounded good but the songs were too unorganized so I spent around 10 hours putting everything in order on "my library". Everything good so far. Here is where the trouble begins. I formatted the player with the onboard format command to erase the songs. Thinking I could save some time from waiting for SS to delete them. (big mistake)I optimized/compressed files in my libraryWhen I plugged the player back into the USB I received "cannot update device database"pushed reset button on player just to see if it made a difference. nopestill got update device data error Then got an error saying that it can't use "intelligent features". I disabled them trying to get rid of this error.This it said it can't write music onto it because there is music on it from a different format and to delete songs from the menu which I did. (player was empty already)next It said that it couldn't delete all of the songs from the player.Now when I plug it in I get an instant error saying "The connect ACTRAC audio device cannot be used becuase it contains tracks transferred using a transfer method incompatible with this version of SS. Delete songs...Error code 66a3After deleting songs I get error omgjbox which closes the program when you click on it. It seems that I need the files to update the database on the player? It tried updating them at first but only got to 25% before errors started flying.
