haybrd Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hi All,I am a very proud NH900 user and love it but my other half wants an MP3 player for using at the gym etc. My great plan was to get her one of the small round Sony ones (NW-E105) so that she can make the most of my music collection stored in SS.My MD player came with SS 2.0 which as I have an old PC works fine and I am hesitant to upgrade to SS 3.0 (which comes with the MP3 player) incase it kills my old computer. My question, does anyone here know if the NW-E105 works with SS 2.0?Cheers for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Welcome to the forums! Sonicstage 3.x actually takes a lesser hit on the system resources than Sonicstage 2.x. I doubt it'll "kill" your old computer, but to ensure that nothing goes wrong make sure you have the latest Windows Updates, DirectX at the latest version, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the forum by the way (Love MD forum and this is just in the same vein!)My worry about upgrading to 3.x was that I just meet the minimum specs for 2.0 and all the specs for 3.x seem higher and my ye olde Win 98 PC is coping well (but slowly with 2.0) and I didn't want to 'rock the boat' after reading all the problems that some have had installing/upgrading SS. My philosophy being, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCedHrt Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 I'm not sure if 2.0 will work with the newer Network Walkmans because of the built in unicode support. It would seem that a newer OpenMG would be required to support them because the version that came with 2.0 is not unicode compatible.

I think I'll risk the upgrade then, if v2.0 works v3.0 hopefully will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haybrd Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 thought I'd give you the update. Last night was the big day and.........SS V2.0 didn't work, just said it couldn't find the driver needed so I installed V3.0 over the top of it.All went well until the machine rebooted and it underwent its 'Sonicstage Database Conversion' bit and it fell over and gave me an illegal action message . Fortunately second time of asking it was fine and both my MD player and my otherhalfs new 'MP3' player work perfectly .We have now given up talking and just sit and listen to our music all night long!
