    Hello everyone, White_Moustache : Some people are working on a linux version, They mentionned amarok plugin being in the scope of this project but I am not sure what they are doing at the moment. You are welcome to give them a hand! I have asked one of the developper to contact you a give you an update, Iwo: Anytime an mp3's format is not recognised the tranfert is aborted and it goes to the next file, reasons might be : unrecognised mp3 format, bitrate, header etc... Your files are probably correct, the plugin is probably at fault. Thank you

    Hi, the apply button is on the bottom right corner when you select your device in winamp, I am not sure ml_sony works with v5.32, I never tested it. If you can't see the apply button once you have sent some music on your device, then you are probably not using ml_sony... You are probably using the winamp "portable device" plugin (which doesn't work with sony walkmans) There is a picture somewhere on this thread of the media library showing the apply button. you might want to try an older version of winamp just to check... (see the details in previous posts) regards

    Hello theFury : 0) close winamp! 1) format format means remove any file on the device that might be in the way... go to your device using windows explorer and delete every file and directory on the device still in the explorer 2) Create a new directory "OMGAUDIO" still in the explorer 3) Create a file named "04CNTINF.DAT" in this directory : just create an empty txt file and rename it (be carefull to correctly change the file extension from txt to DAT) 4) open winamp send one file to the device using ml_sony (not the winamp device plugin!) 5) apply! 6) unplug and check if you can listen to the file note : ml_sony does not support "real OMG files", sony dropped this format last year. so you probably don't have to worry about those if you did not buy any song on the connect store. ml_sony just put some OMG "headers" before the mp3 headers so that the device can understand the file format. (Connect player does the same when sending mp3 files) Regards

    Hello Thefury, if you have the latest firmware for your device, you don't have to update anything. my advice is to start from a clean device. (delete every file and directory) then the method to use ml_sony is described in the FAQ and in this forum. I have the same device as yours so it should work properly. regards,
  5. hello Obli ml_sony does not encode tracks to atrac. OMA files can be mp3 with sony file headers. I just replace mp3 headers with OMA headers.

    Hum I guess you are right Astatine, probably just a header conversion mistake I will see what I can do but lately I hardly have time to work on ml_sony
  7. FYI DJ X Stream solved his problem by updating his .Net framework, if you have some troubles with winamp not finding ml_sony you might want to try that! thx
  8. Hello! you are not doing anything bad, some people have indeed trouble with playlist and the latest version of ml_sony, I did not find the bug yet!

    Hello Everyone, DJ X StreAM : thank you for pointing this out, it did not occur to me but indeed it's possible that installing .net framework might solve this problem! Concerning the problems of crashes during transfer or at the end, it is probably a problem of tags. Also keep in mind that if you transfer a song with a un-supported bitrate it won't be converted! So that's probably why some song might no play correctly. Finally some people experience some playlist problem with the lastest version of ml_sony I did not find a fix yet. Thank you for your support!

    Thanks Astatine, sorry I have been quite busy lately! I will take a look as soon as I can :-)
  12. Hello, sorry some people seem to have a problem with winamp finding the ml_sony plugin, I don't know why... Make sure you have a full version of winamp installed (with media library installed) You might want to try a previous version of ml_sony/winamp
  13. Hello, how did you copy your songs from your player to your pc? if you used ml_sony, what version? if you have a GYM or mp3fm directory on your player, try moving them, redownload a few songs and check if they work. let us know ++

    Sorry guys, I am very busy at this moment, Check the faq and this forum, all the answers are there thx

    hello, ml_sony doesn't use mp3fm, but it uses the keycode generated by mp3fm. Anyway ml_sony and mp3fm don't really mix well when using the same database, so that could be the problem...

    NW-HD3 Issues

    Hello! Sscorpio : I am not sure that your device is compatible with ml_sony actually... you seem to be doing the correct stuff. Could you check in this forum if someone has the same player? If you are not able to use GYM either, I am thinking the database of your player is not the same...

    ML_SONY

    Hello! mdandmp : probably one file tag is not supported, and screws up the database writing, check the log file at c:\ml_sony.log Or there is not any space left to write the database. Cautious : I know ml_sony has some problem when adding, deleting then adding again. It will be fixed when I pass to the new library Sorry I am pack at work for at least 2 weeks, I won't be able to work on this for a while see ya

    NW-HD3 Issues

    Hello SScorpio, I am thinking your keycode is invalid, remove the mp3fm and GYM from your device (make a backup of it on your computer) just put the OMGAUDIO and 04CNTINF.DAT file. try transfering songs with latest winamp and ml_sony. You should be able to tranfert the songs. Once you have send them, apply, unplug your device and check if you can play them from your device. If it doesn't work then you need a keycode. delete all songs from the device. copyback your GYM directory, then try again. let us know if it works! see ya
  19. You think Sony will update the firmware of all their walkman... NW-A3000 is old stuff (I know I have one) I don't see why they would take the time and money to satisfy customers who already paid ^-^ quote : " All of Sony’s new Walkman music and video devices will be supported by a very wide range of third party services around Europe." if you read carefully you will see the subliminal message concerning the NEW walkman... another funny quote : "Thank you for all your purchases and feedback" Now that I remember what kind of "feedback" I sent them about connect player and sonicStage ... I read : "thanks for the money and for sending your complains to dev/null"

    Hello everyone, Astatine, Toodlesnot : Does one of you still have sonicstage? I would like you to do the following : 0) rename your OMGAUDIO directory to OMGAUDIO2 create a new OMGAUDIO directory and the 04CNTINF.DAT file in it 1) with ml_sony : - Transfert a few songs (3 different songs with different album/artist would be good), - create a playlist add the songs to it - and apply. - Make a zip of your Omgaudio directory - delete this OMGAUDIO directory from your device 2) with sonicstage : - launch sonicstage and try sending the same songs and create the same playlist - Make a zip of your Omgaudio directory - delete this OMGAUDIO directory from your device 3) rename the old OMGAUDIO2 to OMGAUDIO and you should be back to normal. contact me when you have the 2 zip file and I will pm you with instruction to send them to me. To everyone : Please report as soon as you can if the playlist works correctly with your device (indicate the device) Thank you for your support!

    I think someone made it work with a NW-S705F. and from what I know about vista you are supposed to run it with administrator rights and you should not have any problem. "When I go to the option menu/plugin, than it won't find ml_sony." So from what you are saying the plugin is not even recognised by winamp? right click on winamp go to options->preferences in plug-ins : choose media library plugins, ml_sony should be here... Silly question, what install of winamp did you do? full install? (you need the media library)

    Toodlesnot : a few more questions -Did you try with a newly formatted device? (you don't have to actually format the device just rename the OMGAUDIO directory, create an new one and an empty 04CNTINF.DAT file in it. if it still won't work you can just rename back your old OMGAUDIO dir) -When you say winamp does not start, I assume the device is plugged? or won't it even start if a device is not plugged? Kodaman : When you reencoded the files did you try with a different bitrate? was it VBR or CBR? the sony players usually only support some specific bitrate. So when trying to send an unrecognised file, SonicStage will actually reencode it with a different bittrate. Unfortunately ml_sony can not do that, it will try to send the file anyway, and you might get some songs not working... Strange problem with the playlist :-( it does work on my NwA1000... (I suppose the problem is not that, but remember to press the apply button when you have finished creating your playlist) I will investigate... ++

    Hello everyone!, Astatine : I think I know where the refresh problem is coming from i will try to fix it, for the playlist problem it's a little bit more complicated.... anyone has the same problem? Toodlesnot : Thank you for reporting this but I need a little more information... what is not working? what is happening? are you sure you set everything correctly? how did you test this? let us know
