I think it has USB2 at the bottom

This is my 2nd Sony mp3 player and it will be my last unless there is a firmware for the A808 that I bought last week.

I just bought mine last week. I wish I had of known. :-(

I am sure they will be able to update the firmware on the A800. I think the hardware difference on the A800 to the A810 is that the latter has a mini USB2 connector and the A800 has a Sony connector.

Does yours take as long?

Well, I know Sony don't suppot Vista x64 officially but it does work, and it works very well apart from the speed it takes to transfer ATRAC files to device. To move a 100mb ATRAC file you are looking at about 10 mins. I have USB 2 and moving stuff to USB pens is fine but SS 4.3 is sooooooo slow. Anyone esle out there with same issues? Is it because I am using Vista x64? Oh, I am using a Sony NW-A808

Thanks juli for your help. One last question, what version of Atrac is best to use? Atrac3 or Atrac advanced lossless? I guess the player supports it. Thanks again

I have just bought a NW-A808 to replace my lost 30GB iPod. I have a few questions and would be really greatful if anyone could help answer. 1. Most of my stuff I had on my Ipod was 192k+ MP3s. As I now only have 8GB to play with what format would it be best to convert the MP3s to without loosng too much sound quality but saving more space? 2. Is doing the above easy in SonicStage and will it leave my existing MP3s as they are? 3. If I copy a DJ mix, will it have gapless playback? 4. Is there a volume limit on the European NW-800 versions and if so can you take it off? 5. What are the bundles headphones like? Is it worth replacing them with some Stein CX-3000 or maybe the Sonys MDR-EX90LPs? Many thanks for any help.
