NW-A608 Queries

[Bup]

Helo.

I was wondering about a couple of things regarding this player.

One, - Can the sony Mp3 File Manager work with the a600 series? Tried finding an answer through searching; but was rather unsuccessful. Drag and drop would be so very useful.

Two, - Do these little things support (mp3) VBR yet? SS 3.4 doesn't seem to, so I'm not really holding my breath, but it would be good to know.

Three- What's with every place in Europe selling these selling only the purple variant? Is there a separate blue variant, or is the purple one == the blue one?

Thank you for your patience. If either of these questions have indeed been answered before on this forum, feel free to link to such a post.

Some people in the forum have reported that mp3 file manager do work with A608 but features like Intelligent shuffle can`t be used if you use M3FM ver2.

Thanks.

In regards to the VBR thing for mp3s, I just read the nw-a60x operation manual, which says they do playback files of this type correctly.

But I'm still pretty sure the help files of SS3.4 state VBR files will not be treated correctly (by SS), and when you import them they all appear as 128kbps files..are they still, in all effects, vbr files, only that SS show them as 128kbps simply because their bitrate is variable?

Bup,

I can confirm that you can transfer MP3s VBR through Sonicstage 3.4 or Sonicstage 4.0 CP without any issue. The nwe-608 will play it without any problem. I have one -and it is the grey one
