70 views and not one reply...haver a said something wrong ???

and further to my above post ...do i really need SS? Is it worthwhile ....what else will it give me over CP ?? etc thanks again

HI All Haven't been on the forum for a long long time - glad to see its still going strong ! Basically - the music on my NWA 3000 has been on it for about 2 years I reckon. I have all my CD music on a separate harddrive - and the pc i used to have with CP on it has become obslete.. So now I am ready to add more music to my player. BUt I see there has been firmware upgrades, CP updates and now we can use SS too.!! So what should I do ?? which order should I do it ?? MOst recent CP first - then firmware - then SS migration tool - then SS ?? Bearing in mind I do not have any NWA3000 related software on my PC whatsoever at the present time. Many thanks for looking / helping Jof

CHeers all DarrenM - my mate is DarrenM, which is why I ask ! I am off to Oz in August for 6 months - couldn't put me on to a camper van for sale could you !!! ok - slightly off the point . sorry forum members

same question as DarrenM (u r not from swansea are you??) any advice?

Title is hopefully self explanatory. I have search for this topic but could not find... I have manually updated tracks in LIBRARY view (ie GENRE - where the incorrect genre was changed to one i wanted) - but when i connect my A3000, it does not update the track information on the unit - the result is i still have tracks housed under the wrong genre on the unit. This can be very frustrating when trying to locate tracks.. The same issue with re-naming artists so that they are uniformly stored (eg WU-Tang Clan, as opposed to Wu tang clan - unit obviously sees this as a different artist) Any advice to do this easily (ie without removing tracks from unit and then re-transferring them back - a very long winded approach considering) Thanx

Hi I have searched all forums for advice - but does not seem to be listed so sorry if I have missed it. I want to transfer EVERYTHING on my NWA3000 to a 'clean' (ie no CONNECT PLAYER / SS) pc. Is there anything I should be concerned about? Can I merely 'plug n play' the device - ie navigate to the device through windows explorer? Will i need to install driver files first? I am a little wary about doing this without advice as I have (like others) experienced too much frustration with the software to date (the unit itself is awesome !!!) to be confident I wont experience problems. All advice very much appreciated

hi Using connect - don't want to use ss3.4 because as far as i cans ee, i will run into problems at some point...so can anyone help id why I am unable to use the gracenote service (usual errors, already listed above). If this is a connect player thing - I will just wait for the next update (as if that will cure the problem!) If it is something I can do locally - that would help my nerves ! Jofski

def not a problem on mine mate - get it replaced

i can only assume all those postcards have gone straight to sony HQ - who are currently beavering away at giving us a comprehensive, integrated piece of software that offers all the funtionality one would expect and need for maximising the utilisation of quite an expensive piece of kit in a highly competitive market... know what i mean guv ??

unbelievable i was just about to take your previous advice reSS3.4 and now this !!! AAAAArrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh !!!! WHY IS IT SO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

same happened to me. I upgraded CP, re-transferred the ones that wouldnt go to player maually...and soon I had played 100 and the function become operable again. see my other post - re: Manual v full sync issues

not sure about HD, but got one for my A3000 and it is awesom - love the look, and protection. Only problem is the CUT OUT for the charger input on the play is TOO SMALL - so I had to doctor it myself. Might not be an issue with HD tho... it is also non-slip so sits on the dash in the car very safely.

Why is it that 1.on full sync, a lot of songs in my CP library do not transfer across, but after I painstakingly match the library in my NW to the CP library a track at a time (900 songs currently - imagine 10,000!!) to identify the songs missing, I can transfer them across manually without any problem? 2.why is it that some songs in my CP library will not transfer (message - "0-skipping track) but will play when i double click them in CP ? 3.why can't I see a list of previously deleted songs from NW so that I can review them and select the ones I want to put back on the NW (if full sync worked that is)..again, with a large library this would be mission impossible to identify manually, as i have done above. Whilst the updated CP does at least allow for more stable operation - it is still such an unbelievable knightmare to use that i get more and more frustrated each and every time....COME ON SONY - GET IT SORTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! answers on a post card to Sony.JAP (pls Cc to me)

v good question - look forward to the answer...anyone??

Miura Overall CP is an absolute knightmare. U can sse SS instead apparently - to add music files - and then only use CP to ensure additional functions work (see other thread in this forum - ie do not put any music in the CP library). Expect problems - trust me ! Sony MUST give CP priority - and messages like this might push the issue a bit....

i am behind an organisation firewall which i think is stopping access to the ss server. thanks for the advice stuge - much appreciated.

havent got sonic stage to start with, and am having trouble donloading 3.4 via the installer where am i going wrong? do i need sonic stage on my pc before i can download 3.4? sorry for being so stupid ! update - getting a message to check my internet connetion before it terminates. i can download the installer ok - why not the software itself???

thanks nuld man..! what is the best way to clear my connect library? just select all and then delete (i cant think of another way) on a related point (not that it will matter if i do this) - is there something on CP that cleanses the library of content removed from the pc? when i do a full sync - my A3000 shows less tracks than my library shows - but identifying which ones is nigh on impossible with the number of tracks i have... new thread fro this perhaps?? ty

nuld - this is a very helpful post man. I have trouble with connect - although latest release has helped a bit. But I am still very wary...anticipating the next problem (say - when i reach 2000 tracks). so - just to confirm - if i download SS3.4 - i can import all songs into SS library, clear my CP library, transfer songs using SS and then open CP to update all the features?? if so- great !

hi ascariss i kinda expected that comment - but i have a spanking new pc etc so it is very unlikely to be OS. I have updated directly from Sony site and have at least managed to copy the majority of songs back to unit - but not all. i am not even going to start asking why for now..think i will leave it lie and gather some energy b4 I address that issue...

stuge i was actually thinking about that as my next step. if cp update fails to fix my issues, i shall give it a try..... nice 1

hi CP still crashing on me - wont even boot up to be honest - so desperate for the update. I have navigated to the update.exe file - but nowt happens when i run it !! Is there a weblink anyone can provide please? thanks dont know why i asked for link - being lazy ! here it is http://www.sonydigital-link.com/DNA/Connec...asp?l=en&f=AU01 good luck all - else its going back !

thanks. I still can not fully sync player with music library as CP keeps crashing (tiny*** has encountered a problem and needs to close???) during the process - and it keeps wiping the players memory, telling me there are no songs. I have version 1.0.02.11170 CP. Just about to search for update - but i thought it was only currently available to Japanese customers? added - check for update is doing nothing !!!!!!!!!!!!! do u have a link for an english update to CP please? many thanks J

In the process of adding only my 800th song, CONNECT crashes, and now I get the message that there are no songs to play - use comliant software !!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr why does this have to happen ffs !!!!!!!!!!!!! I was reading all trhe other tales of woe thinking just how lucky i was not to have a problem. seriously sucked off now..
