MP3 no go?

[Layne]

Hello!

Don't know if anyone has post anything like this before, tried the search several times but didnt find anything.

Anywho, i bought the NW-A1000 a couple of days ago and i finally got it today. At first i tried the connect player and, well, it worked kinda ok. After a firmware update to 3.00 i started it up again. Now it takes about 5-10 minutes for the prog to even start, so i switched to sonicstage 4.0. Now, i wanted to tranfer all my files in mp3 original format, and it says so in the options, so good i think, but it still converts the files to atrac. I tried to just drag n' drop mp3's to it but it wont play them at all. Does this player even support mp3s at all? And if it does (it does i know..i think hehe) what am I doing wrong?

Welcome to AtracLife!

A1000 fully supports Mp3 files (32-320kpbs )[44.1Khz]

Also in SonicStage CP 4 ---Select My Library -->Then click on Transfer Mode Settings & Select Standrard Transfer Mode .

Thanks for the reply, however, i have done that, and it still converts to atrac.

In sonicstage it acctually says "MP3" in recording format, but in the explorer its omg files. Maybe it's supposed to be like that?

bare in mind that all except SONY flash products do not support drag & drop...

and i think the mp3 files are being coated with OMG extensions just to let the machine to able to recognise it... i mean go to option and check about ur music files, it says MP3 if it is

Actually, save for one chinese line of model that have not been released/seen the light/no one has, no Sony players support Drag and Drop.

You can, however, use MP3 File Manager along with Grab Your Music. MP3FM allows for unidirectional file transfer (to unit only) while GYM allows bidirectional file transfers.

Yes. ou can do 2 things to check that they are still mp3's

If you are playing the song on the player, just click the "Option" button and then select "Detailed Information" from the menu... it will tell you then.

You can also play the actual .omg file directly in Windows if you open it with Media Player (asuming that the unit is plugged in). It complaints, but it will play it as an mp3 file
