Sony at the moment does not include FM radio on their players. Bizarre I know.

No it wont compress to ATRAC. It will stay as MP3.

Ma bad. But in order to play MP3s you still need to transfer via SonicStage? Which Tooth doesnt want...

Have enabled 'Clear Stereo' on your player? Its in the settings....

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news mate, but SonicStage is the only way to sync music to the player. It can only play ATRAC not MP3s. If you really dont want SonicStage then I suggest selling the A806 and get yourself the A816 or A818.

Damn! You got mugged? What happend, if you dont mind me asking? And so sorry that it happend. Just goes to show you really need to be aware of your surroundings wherever you go. As for the player, I think thats it. I dont have a HD5 so cant confirm but someone here will...

Seriously? What apps?

Dont know why you lot are not impressed with the latest Walkman series. So far I'm loving my A818. Sony is doing a great job turning round its Walkman brand. Anyway, on to album art, havent you lot figured out yet how to update tag data using WMP?

I've got a 'new' Walkman (A818) and I find it brilliant. I wouldnt say WMP is trash, it works when you know how. I havent had any problems so far. If you want to rip your music at high quality, then I suggest third-party software, either Easy CD-DA Extractor or dBpoweramp Music Converter.

You can understand why Sony did this though. The majority hated SonicStage & ATRAC so Sony dumped it. For Sony to support ATRAC in their players, they would have to support SonicStage. But since the majority wont use it, its waste of money for Sony.

What do you mean by 'slow flash memory'? I havent noticed anything slow about my 818....

1. WMP is easy if you know how. You just need to get use to it. 2. If you still dont like WMP, then try MediaMonkey.

Ok, a gamer over at the official Xbox forums had a interesting question...how does he connect his Sony NWZ player to the 360? I also tried it myself, the 360 just wont recognise the player. Gone through official support, turns out the 360 supports MTP. So why wont the NWZ connect?

Let see, I currently have: All The Right Reasons - Nickelback As I Am - Alicia Keys Dreaming Out Loud - One Republic Exclusive - Chris Brown Good Girl Gone Bad - Rihanna Greatest Ever Eighties - Various Artists Now Thats What I Call Music! 69 - Various Artists Now Thats What I Call Music! 61 - Various Artists Shine - Estelle Spirit - Leona Lewis Thriller 25th Anniversary Edition - Micheal Jackson

Jim, can you describe to me how you transfer music to your player?
