Minger Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Man, I hate that when I updated the software, I have to format or neither Sonicstage or VAIO Music Transer works.Grrrrrrrrrrrrr....I mean, its not that bad, its just that I've had to do this too many times, and I was just about to leave to track practice (throw a few songs on there) and realized this.

Guest Stuge Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 This problem is faced by many people .But Asia Pacific version or Japanese or Overseas doesn`t ask for initialization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approximately 278 albums. I am sure you have a good idea of what it takes to categorize all this . I would not be a happy camper doing this all over.....It could be worse. You could always have to rip every cd/transfer every mp3 over from scratch Edited April 21, 2006 by JSP62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minger Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) Oh, I wasn't going to run with it - I'm not that dumb (And the VAIO Skips way too much ) - I've got an Ipod Shuffle that I used today for that (gotta love free stuff). I just have the VAIO in my backpack when I'm biking there.Oh well, I'm about to copy everything, but even with USB2.0, all the files copying over takes forever...Man, I'm just waiting for another good deal on a non-Sony mp3 player - this thing just gives me headaches sometimes (and Sonicstage.) - I just don't want to get an IPod (Or Creative, because their firmware support is meh) Edited April 21, 2006 by Minger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSP62 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Oh well, I'm about to copy everything, but even with USB2.0, all the files copying over takes forever...Usually when I am transferring files, I do it before bed or when I take a shower or watch TV. Something like that where I am not in front of my PC looking at the progress bar saying "Can't you just go alittle faster?" Man, I'm just waiting for another good deal on a non-Sony mp3 player - this thing just gives me headaches sometimes (and Sonicstage.) - I just don't want to get an IPod (Or Creative, because their firmware support is meh)I was actually thinking of getting a Creative DAP unit. I did read up on it saw alittle discourse over software. I didn't like the fact that you need WMP, but I guess it could be worse. What sorts of experiences have you had if you don't mind giving me a more in-depth opinion.I was in the iXXX store (I know, I know) and took a look at the Video. I was very tempted . . .

Minger Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Its not that - Sonicstage just kept crashing if I tried to upload say, more than 50 albums at a time. Eventually, I was like screw it and just used VAIO Music Mover (or whatever its called), but since that didn't upload my entire library, I'm missing a bunch of my collection...but on the otther hand, theres none of the music that i've nev er listen to on there As for the Creative...I actually had a pretty good experience. I had a Zen Touch 20 Gig...The player was solid, the software at the time was decent (never crashed or anything, but this was before the latest firmware). However, a few things annoyed me - well, the lack of MTP (or UMS) support, the broken EQ on the Touch's firmware - it acted more as a noise gate or soemthing at the wrong frequencies.I basically made the switch to VAIO Pocket mostly on the fact that I wanted something new, and for $200, 40 gigs and a color screen seemed pretty good.So basically, I think Creative is good (better than my experience with VAIO Pocket) but I've got a feeling I'll be looking into IRiver or Neuros on my next trip around...

JSP62 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 stupid question what does MTP stand for. I know the point your trying to make, but just trying to figure out MTP.In any event, thanks for giving me your input on DAPs. As I said, I am on the lookout too.FYI - You should check out Cowon's iAudio . . . .very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stuge Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I also don`t know what is this MPT or UMS .. If i`m right it is related to firmware .I will also suggest you to Chech I Auodion new daps ..they are worth looking at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minger Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Meh, spent too much time looking over some Iriver forums...Anwyays, MTP is basically native windows support using Windows Media Player 10.UMS is Universal Mass Storage Device, as when I last had it, it required seperate software to copy files over.
