NW-A1000

[rjw213]

Hi,

Im sure you are all pretty fed up with this topic after searching around on the internet for an answer to my problem with my MP3 play (but i still cant find the answer hence the reason im posting)

I purchased my NW-A1000 from duty free in spain, came home and have been trying to rip my cd's to it, i have installed the Connect player and have been able to rip cd's but cant download any tracks to my player? i keep on getting the "INF" error

Can anyone offer any advice (rather than throwing it in the bin"

Do you wait until ConnectPlayer finishes loading before connecting your A1000.

Perhaps initialising the A1000 may help.

Have you the latest version of A1000 firmware eg V3

What version of ConnectPlayer are you using ?

Personally I prefer SonicStage (V3.3, V3.4 or V4) to ConnectPlayer.

I'd personally suggest keeping Connect player if it runs smoothly and quickly, since that is hte best way to transfer to the unit.

bogon07's suggestion to initilalize the player would be my first choice as well.

I would also allow CP to upgrade since then you should have no issues with it.

As Ascariss suggests keep CP if it runs ok.

In fact I've both CP and SonicStage on my laptop. Just don't run them both at the same time.

I prefer SS as I've used it for a while with Minidisc players and find it a bit easier to manipulate my library (and I like to put the album cover art in-small as it is)

[Ascariss]

Album covers works in CP as well, all you do is drag the small image into CP and onto the space where the album art would be, and it should be impoted.

Ascariss,

Thanks for the hint. However I must have CP setup differently as I can't drag and drop but have to edit the song properties to add the album art.

Hmm interesting.

is the image a jpg, or gif? what I did is this, saved the image to the desk top, then opened CP, made it smaller and then did a quick search for an artist. got the results, then click on the the song.

once the top information appears. i drag the file physically off the desktop and then drop it on the connect circles in the information screen and viola, image appears. I added a screen capture, hopefully you can see what I mean.

[bogon07]

mmmmm

The images are jpgs.

But whenever I try to drag them over the Connect square the cursor turns into a circle with a line through it.

I'll have another go with the quick search and see what happens tonight.

rjw213,

How are you doing with your problem ?
