  1. This is because sonicstage controls the master volume of the whole system, while wmp only controls its own volume. I never liked that it did this... this should be changed in the next sonicstage release.
  2. It really really DOESN'T look that blue... when it is exposed to light, it is very light candy purple or light baby blue, and when it's dark it's slightly darker purple... but it doesn't look that blue at all in real life unless it's really dark, I don't know how they got it to look like that, Maybe it is a different version or something, or maybe it just looks like that in the photographs. Here are some photos/videos where it's a bit closer to real life: http://www.vaiomania.jp/blog/archives/000250.html http://www.vaiomania.jp/blog/archives/2005_11_19.html http://blog.so-net.ne.jp/vaiomania/2005-11-19
  3. For me, it takes 15 seconds at the most.. usually less than 10 seconds... very fast.
  4. The OLED itself is not gradiented.. it was just that the photo was taken in the middle of a frame transition of the running man animation. The colour of the unit itself, however, is gradiented. It changes depending on the angle you look at it. That photo is not a good indicator of the unit's colour... the violet NW-A608 looks a lot more lighter purple in real life.
  5. Yes, nobody looks at the 3-line display that much while listening, but it's when you're looking for a song that it becomes important.. If you use both a one line and a three line device side by side you notice a huge difference when looking for stuff.

    Got a working NW-E003

    It has double the battery life of the ipod nano, even though it is not as long as the higher priced sony flash players.
  7. It is disappointing that sony is not releasing any even minor firmware updates for the E4/E5xx walkmans to be able to play AAC files. Why is Sony doing this? Is it a hardware limitation, or are they just trying to get people to upgrade their devices?
  8. I find that atrac3 adds an artificial echo to widen the soundstage... this sounds good for some songs, and not good for others.
  9. I think the bad sound quality is because it converts it to 64kbps atrac3 by default... You should turn that off so that it doesn't convert at all.

    Sony`s NEW DVD Walkman`S

    DVDs? who watches DVDs anymore??
  11. All they need to do is put a little bit more work on sonicstage to make it less resource intensive, and change the GUI, and everything will be fine.
  12. That would be great! But I live in Canada... how much would shipping cost?
  13. I must admit the e931's are very good earphones. However, I guess mine have worn out since august, since compared to them, the brand new ones have a much wider sound separation and bass response.

    Sony DVDs

    Why don't you call them up and let them know what you think? I'm sure they will send you one that will work for free, they have no reason not to.
  15. I really liked the piano parts of this song, just so simple and addictive. Is there any chance anyone would know where to find the piano tabs? Maybe some musicians among you would be gifted enough to interpret it? It seems impossible from google.

    NW-A3000V and Connect

    Update: I have changed my mind about connect... I just tried removing a couple of songs from the player and the software was simply unresponsive. I checked task manager, and there was a tinyhttp.exe program taking up 95% of cpu useage... ending that process closed the whole program .
  17. After comparing my brother's A608 to my E407, it's easy to see that A608 is filled with much more features (useless, but cool features). For instance, the display screens are cooler, there are many different modes to choose from, all showing information in a different style. The only thing I found that is weird is that is only available in violet and silver. The upside of the color is that it is not uniform, it is like a shiny gradient, which looks much cooler than the NW-E4xx/5xx.

    NW-A3000V and Connect

    My brother just got a NW-A608 and he is using connect on a Pentium III 600mhz with 256 mb ram... He imported over 300 tracks without any crashing and everything seems to work smoothly. Even on his system, which is very slow compared to most of your systems, connect takes less than a minute to start up. Of course, I'm not saying you won't have any problems, just saying this is my experience with connect after 1 day.
  19. That's weird... even Canada has the new A walkmans, and has had them for some time now.
  20. True.. and it's not like people distribute songs by sending copying from their devices to other people's computers... that is just inconvenient and not even close to as fast as p2p.
  21. Hey, sorry for the late reply, but I finally took my nw-e407 apart and it really wasn't that hard. I followed kataonik's instructions, and I should add that you have to be very careful not to scratch the inner plastic layer - use a microfibre cloth. (I used the cloth that I use to clean my glasses, it is very soft and I thought it would be okay, but now when you tilt it you can see horizontal scratches just like in stuge's picture! ) Also, a warning for cleaning - do not use alcohol! I used rubbing alcohol for the outermost layer of plastic back in october, and now I realize that it has sort of worn off, and become matte in some areas... so whatever you do, don't use any alcohol or anything like that to clean these parts!!

    New iAUDIO 6

    Hard drives are no good... too much power, skipping, etc...
  23. How long have you had it for? I've had mine since august 2005, and have had no problems with it apart from dust buildup under the clear plastic layer.

    NW-A1000 die on me

    I don't understand you people... if it died after less than a month, why in the world would you call sony support?? Just go to your dealer and exchange it, that is why you have a 30 day return/exchange policy at these stores... Why waste 2 months waiting to get your player back from repair, when you could just go get a new one in a day??
  25. Why not just form an irc channel, and put a java irc client on the site for people to use if they don't have their own irc client?
