El Smudge Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I am running teh bog standard 1.0 Connect programme as provided with my NW-A1000 and its stable and I am generally happy with it.My only gripe is that it does not recognise all CD's, especially enhanced CD's and i cannot rip them.I understand that the new version 2.01 of Connect has improved this, and am thinking about upgrading.BUT I don't want to risk the stability of the current programme as I still have 50 or so CD's to rip before I go travelling in 3 weeks. Is the new version of Connect ok, or shall i just grin adn bear it.Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggs Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I haven't seen a V2.01 of connect avalable yet, (I'm in the UK)I'm using :CONNECT Player Version 1.0.02.11170 CONNECT Player Auto Update Version 1.0.02.11150As upgraded by the auto update software along with V2.01 of the firmware for my NWA-3000. The new firmware update allows the player to use the .wma audio formatI think you've mistaken the firmware update for a Connect updateIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iggs Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 My installation of Connect runs and does the job but is so amazingly slow and uses so much of the system resources I don't know whether I'd describe it as ok. If I need to import any tracks or send some to my player I have to leave it overnight as it stuffs my laptop for anything else, and its not a slow laptop by any stretch of the imagination - 2.5Gb processor + 1/2Gb ram and plenty of hard drive space etcThe Firmware upgrade is running fine, I'm not sure if the .wma tracks that connect had orginally converted to adtrac have been reverted back to .wma or not but to be honest I dont really care as its working at the moment and thats enoughHopefully Sony will pull something out of the bag with the next release of connect and solve all the problems, software that compares with the walkman will be very good, must say though I'm not optomistc, the track record with sonic stage is not good is itIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
