The new firmware v.3.0 for NW-A1000

[obsolescent_]

Why the calendar? I mean, I havent found any ways to use it. And both the clock and calendar are displayed for like 3 seconds then the display shuts down, so whats the point of this? (ok, the clock is okey I guess, but since it displays the date to I can't see any point in the calendar, or am I wrong?)

Over and out.

The feature's not much use to me really, the calendar may come in handy if I want to see how many days in the month there are.

I was hoping for a way of having track information on the screen all the time. Perhaps, at a reduced brightness setting to save power instead of some stupid screensaver. Oh, and has anyone noticed that the 'pause song' beep now sounds like the 'stop song' beep.

Goto settings --> screensaver --> available --> clock / calender.

job done.

Yeah I know you can make it a screensaver, but still it's just there for like three seconds..it should be more.

I agree it disappears all too quicky. You should be able to look through the days and months of the year on the calendar. However setting it as a screensaver makes it come and go giving you more chances to see it. As for the new beep, that also annoys me. Its too long. I feel like turning 'beep' off now. However when it comes to the new loading icon, I just can't get enough of it. Its soo cool. Another change is the 'Sony' logo now displayed when you turn the player off.

Yeah, the Sony logo has replaced the CONNECT logo, so I guess the CONNECY Player really is being abandoned.

I just upgraded yesterday, and the player works much better now.

There is just one thing, which I've been wondering about. When I browse my music, some numbers like 1/3, 2/5 and 1/4 appear at the top of the screen. Does anybody know what that is? I can't figure it out...

track number? check the song on the player with those and then check your id tags for #s in the track area.

It's how many pages of songs, click left/right to go back/advance through the pages. It saves you continuously clicking the up/down buttons

does anyone think the new firmware is abit slower than the previous firmwares?? because it takes much longer to load up now, with the "loading" logo added
