Thanks Stuge. They shouldn't be charging a fee for this

I was asking who charges a fee for software. I am fully aware of who does what on this site

So who does?

Do Sony charge for software???

Cheers mate So then NWZ-A81x supporting AAC is gapless right?

Yes it can be. Have to be in the right mood and only in small doses.

Yes it does. I would imagine the only way of getting AAC files on to the A81x would be via the PS3?

AAC 320 kbps? Your not worried about space then?

I thought only Admin/mods could do that?

Does the NWZ-A81x support AAC?

Listening to Sade - The Best of Sade [Original recording remastered] on NW-A806 in ATRAC3PLUS at 192 kbps 1. Your Love Is King 2. Hang On To Your Love 3. Smooth Operator 4. Jezebel 5. Sweetest Taboo 6. Is It A Crime 7. Never As Good As The First Time 8. Love Is Stronger Than Pride 9. Paradise 10. Nothing Can Come Between Us 11. No Ordinary Love 12. Like A Taboo 13. Kiss Of Life 14. Please Send Me Someone To Love 15. Cherish The Day 16. Pearls

Who cares, A80x/A81x is loud enough. Just enjoy it as it is. Any louder and it would blow your ear drums.

Flash based walkmans won't allow you to change the sound pressure settings. Only the older hdd walkmans like HD1, 3 and 5 and A3000 will allow you to change settings. There is no need for an A8xx to go any louder, it's loud enough. The A8xx is much louder than an uncapped A3000/HD5 etc.

Trust us, there is no volume limit on the NW-A8xx & NWZ-A81x models. Stop hesitating and buy one. A Japanese model won't sound any louder than a European model.

no

What is this, some sort of mini lap top? What can it and can not do? I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to computers I'm afraid

One things for certain, it's not the site it used to be. The blog (front page) hasn't been updated in months.

As I walk through Liverpool Street station each day, I see at least 3-4 ads for it throughout the station.

Being heavily advertised on the London Underground. Also advertised on British TV.

Mine lasts 4 days, used for approx. 2 hours per day. So I guess I get approx. 8 hours between charges.

As everything else seems to work ok, I would say your screen has gone. Best bet would be to contact Sony to see how much it would cost to repair it. However, it probably wouldn't be economical to repair it and you would be better off investing in a new dap.

European volume capping stopped with the A3000/A1000/A1200. They were the last ones to be capped.

Good point Haijuki. What are your equalizer settings? Also, at what volume are you listening?

Why not exchange it for an NWZ-A816 or NW-A806? You won't be complaining of bad sq when you have a listen to one of these. They should be able to do a straight swap. How long have you had the S706 for? Big companies like Sony can take weeks if not months to get back to customers.
