Hiya Guys

Just joined up today so hi to everyone!!

Well i've just got a NW-A3000 with my birthday money.

Installed the connect software and it auto updated to the new version. (glad cos i've heard allot of bad things about earlier versions!!)

I've also checked the firmware and its 2.01 so think i'm all set on the updating front.

I've done a scan on my pc and it found all my music. I then went through it all removing certain tracks which i didn't want on it.

Did notice the case sensitive thing. Although for a few of my albums i have made sure the tracks have the correct case sensitive album title. But for some reason its put them as two separate albums. Any ideas??

Also only some of the tracks which were already on my pc have had there correct info from the internet. Is there a way to get the rest?? When i import a cd it gets it fine!!!

Think thats everything. I did the volume unlock as well.

Any other things i ought to do?? Pretty new to to mp3 players etc.

Oh yeah one thing where can i get podcasts?? Wouldn't mind some of Pete Tongs essential selections!!

Sorry for all the questions!!

Greg

hello and welcome

well i congratulate you for your purchase, you will be very happy with your player. i am using this model and the oldder versin (nw-hd5) for month now on a daily base and never get disppointed yet.

to your questions i can only tell you this: i hade major problems with the CONNECT software, so i preferred to use the sonic.stage 3.3. for a software, and this all runs smooth (even if some features seem not work, as i read in this forum somwhere, which i cannont not confirm since i never felt to use them. )

welcome to the community anyway,

greetings steve

Ah thanks Steve.

Well i'll stick with the connect till i get probs. Maybe this newer version is better!!

I've got a few new questions.

I want to get some podcasts. Now i found the Pete Tong one (Tongcast) but i have to use iTunes to get it. Cant i use connect etc??

Also i've spent the last day cleaning up my libary and sorting out the albums so theu all have the correct case lettering. Some of them are but are still in two separate albums with the same name. Any ideas??

Also if i did a scan on my pc again. Would all my good work be undone?? Dont want to do it and find its added two of the same track etc.

Hope you guys can help
