Nothing is registred in Library inside connect player anymore. I have tried to uninstall connect player. I have delete the library on the hardisc where the riped file is stored, and this directory is also deleted "C:\Document and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Corporation\CONNECT Player\Library" before I reinstalled Connect Player again. So when I try to rip an cd, nothing is registred in library on connect player. But if I look where the file is stored on hardisk hardisk I can see the file is created there. I have also the enterde the right file location in preference where the riped cd's shall be stored. This is so frustrating. I have the newest update for connect player installed. And my mp3 is an NW-A3000.

New info on above qestion. I dont think the Library work as it should. If you try to change Genre to something else that gracenote give you before ripping the cd. It would not register into Library. So if gracenote give "Genre" the name "General Rock", and you make it another name, it just want not register in Library. Some one else with this problem, or an solution to it.

I think we're looking for more information. Start out by posting all of the following stuff and someone here can help you:

- Operating System version and Service Pack

- Connect player version

- Number of total tracks in library

- Name and number of devices, if they are attached while running the player, and firmware versions

- Have you re-installed the player before? Have you deleted the library directory?

- What sync mode are you using for the device: Full or Manual?

- Have you used the "scan" or "directory import" methods to find your newly ripped files? What happened then?

Posting up answers to these questions will help those who already have things working come up with suggestions for you.

Here some more info:

-Windows xp pro, sericepack 2.

-Connect Player version: 1.0.02.11170

-Auto update: 1.0.00.10180

-Sony NW-A3000, firmware 2.1.

-Installed before, and deleted the library directory.

-Sync mode manual.

- Have you used the "scan" or "directory import" methods to find your newly ripped files? What happened then? I can tell that it's scaning, but nothing shows up in library after.

-Had 17 cd installed, and all worked then. I deleted all 17 cd from connect player, hardisc, and NW-A3000 player, because it was tricky to try to rename Genre after they where ripped. So I beginned to rip the cd's, and change the Genre to something I want before ripping stage. Then I sudenly discover that they would not register in library with some different Genre name than they first get from gracenote.

One thing to ad is that; when you look at group by "all track" you will se the cd registred in library. But not when you look at it group by "Genre" it would not show nothing.

It sounds to me like you have some illegal/invalid characters in the genre tag of your imported songs. If they show up in "all tracks" that means they are in your library. Do they also show up under "artist" and "album" views?

Using non-English characters, characters with "/" "\" "|" "?" and the like will almost always get you into trouble. I have some songs with Japanese characters and they work, but anything with these non-standard symbols don't work at all.

It work at last. I found out that you have to use the same rule on Connect Player as gracenote using on "Genre". And it's to bad that there is no easy way to change a Genre after you have ripped the cd. If you want to change an "Genre" after ripping the cd. You have to do it one by one track at a time. It should be an option to change the hole cd by just entering an text once, and then the hole cd change the "Genre" for the spesific cd. Just like you could before ripping stage.
