matt_com911 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 hi, ive had a nwa1000 since december now, and i must say im loving it. the connect software isnt as bad as everyone says, however it still has a way to go before being better than sonicstage and itunes. just wondering about a few things in connect player1. can you reset the ratings?i accidently rated one of the artists at 5 stars, leaving everyone else unrated at the default 3. i know i could just set my personal rating down to 3, but id prefer all music to be left unrated - just a preference. so is there a way to set the ratings back to default (as they werent rated at all?)2. how long does the internet artist link take?just wondering how long it would take for all artist link information to download if i left my computer running idle. i have a 256kbps internet connection and a 3GHz P4 processor with 1GB of RAM. what exactly does it download? when i click on the more information tab for each song, should the forms be filled in? or does the internet service not do those things? also, does the artwork ever come through?sorry my questions dragged on for ages... but any help would be great. thanks.

granbajo Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I have wondered about your second question myself... I just don't know how it works!!!! I only have artist link information for a couple of the tracks... and I have over 3200 tracks, so it is not really working on mine.As for your second question, at least on my A3000, You can go back to auto on the general information screen, that resets the rating to whatever original rating you had beforeHope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_player Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 The answers to your questions are...1. The only way to "reset" the rating to the automatic ratings that the Connect Player maintains is to remove the song from the library and then add it back in. It's a bummer, but it works.2. Artist Link sends each track that it hasn't "seen" before to Gracenote, then waits for information to come back. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (thanks Gracenote!) I've sat there with a network monitor and watched several connections go out to Gracenote, and then had nothing come back.That's what I know, so I hope it helps.
