  1. This application looks interesting.

    Can anyone tell me if it works with NW-A3000 ad if I have to format the device?

    I just don't want to try using it and risk losing the songs in there.

    Thanks

    Yes, should work straight off with the NWA-3000

    Or at least it did for me without any kind of formatting.

    One thing to be aware of though is that after you unplug your player from the computer - while the player goes through the process of building the library - you will get an error pop up and ask you to connect compliant software.

    This is nothing to worry about - jut ignore it and it will go away.

  2. Loving Symphonic - just found it today.

    Switched to Linux a couple of years ago so any time I wanted to add music to my NWA-3000 I had to use my wife's XP computer.

    Anyway - couple of questions. . .

    How is the Amarok plug in coming along?

    Not sure if you would know this . . . but I can play files from my player in Amarok without problem.

    However, the file names are displayed without any meta info (e.g. 10f00 instead of name of the music file).

    Any idea how I would get Amarok to display the music file information in a more usable manner?

  3. If you want a sony walkman to work on linux I would suggest getting the new NWZ-S7xx and NWZ-81x players as they will work on linux using drag and drop.

    hmmmm . . .

    Not something I really wanna do when I already have a pretty good Walkman sitting around doing nothing - it's just let down by the software available for it. Why can't they just upgrade the firmware on the NWA series so they support drag n drop??

  4. I've had an NWA-3000 sitting in the bottom of a drawer for the last couple of years collecting dust as I cannot load any music on to it from my Opensuse computer. When I bought it I was told that a Linux version of Connect player was in the works . . . then Sony ditched Connect player and revived Sonicstage (supposedly as a stopgap) which of course has no Linux support.

    Anyway - it's a couple of years down the track - any news on the horizon of a full replacement to Sonicstage - and if there is - will there ever be Linux support - or should I just give up and try and sell off the Walkman to somebody with Windows?
