there is no other workaround unless there is new firmware (doubtfull). u just have to label it to the YYYYMMDD_xxx format. that is the only way at this point.

http://www.atraclife.com/index.php?showtopic=82 her'es a link to the topic about transferring pictures and stuff.

so yea i declare myself a retard. i totally did not think about pushing the bar in to keep the dock in place. the whole time i thought it just folds down and locks in place. yes the retard i am. thank goodness there's a forum like this to keep me in check. hehe

hey does u guys cradle not stand up all the time. mine u have to very careful cuz if u touch it one bit the player's weight just pushes the cradle over. i think i have a defective handle on this cradle. its gets annoying.

i saw but it seems like the teh comp geeks one is refurb.

http://shopper.cnet.com/Sony_VAIO_Pocket_D...9-31107442.html here's a list of all the companies that are selling it and it looks like tiger direct is the cheapest.

just a noob with a lot of questions. hehe

ok i just got it to work. sweet. it is exactly wat i thought it would do. if u put pics in the demo folder and while ur playing ur music and if ur not doing anything with the interface then a slideshow of the pics will come up. its pretty much like a screensaver when there's no interface activity going on. man im starting to love this player even more. u discover something new everyday. hehe.

so wat is demo mode really. does it just playback the music library randomly. is that all that it does. how come this answer was different from the other one. i look thru both pdfs and found nothing on it. what is wrong with sony with putting in features and not telling us how it works and how to use it. i dont get it at all.

update: so i found out that u dont need to change the date on the player or anything like that. when the player is connected to the comp u just have to transfer all the folders over and use the format YYYYMMDD_xxx and it reads it fine. im so lucky that, that was how i organize all my folders in the first place and the only difference was that i didnt have the _xxx part and had a description name there.

i dont get the whole demo mode thing. ur saying that when the player are in idle mode ie not playing music but still on, that the player itself will display a slideshow of pics that is in the demo mode folder? when i had it turned on, for some reason all it seems to do is automatically starts playing my music after about 10 seconds. it has never did this to me b4 until i turned demo mode to come on. is my player defective? i wouldnt mind putting in some random images to create my own slideshow in there. pls let me know more about this.

i guess with teh later folder name we are able to know the date of the transfered pics. so that means that unless there's a new firmware coming to get this bypass or whenever u transferred a certain dated folder one would have to change the ap1l's date to match the folder and then change it back when transfer is done. man that is gonna take me a good awhile to do now. its like id3 tagging my 20gbs of mp3's all over again. =(

sweet thanks ishi.

no that's not wat i mean. when u transfer photos to the computer u have to make teh folders a specific name for the ap1l to recognize it. ie. user_001, user_002 etc. so u can only change the numbers portion in the user_xxx part. i have tons of folders by date year month and description. its my way of keeping track of the pictures that i have taken. im trying to find a way that i can get the ap1l to recognize the ways my folders are setup. oh yea i guess if i reply enough eventually i get my own page. hehe

ok i just tried changing the date on teh camera but the folder now gives me the same folder but now its _002. so i changed the date on the ap1l and tried it and it did in fact changed the new folder to the date on teh ap1l. so its dependent on the ap1l's date no matter wat teh camera's date says.
