RedVIII Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 With the Release of Sonic Stage 4.0 CP and the fact that sonys new MP3 player the NWA1200 comes bundled with this software not the Connect software, does this mean the CONNECT will be dropped?Will there be any future support for the CONNECT software or should i uninstall it now and install the latest version of Sonic Stage?

Ishiyoshi Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 The end? More or less... it's pretty much over. You can definitely uninstall CONNECT Player, but do remember both software can be installed together. They just can't run at the same time. Give SonicStage CP 4.0 a go.

Chris J Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I won't be giving up the Connect Player until an Automatic Synch feature is added to SonicStage, so my Walkman's library is always identical to my PC library which Connect handles really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascariss Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Agreed, I am not leaving CP, and will most likely keep it as long as I can, and wait until sony releases a new program and new mp3 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedVIII Posted July 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thanks for the reply guys.Last night i uninstalled Connect and installed Sonic Stage 4.0 and upgraded my firmware to 3.0 (nwa-1000b). I have to say i was left dissapointed, whilst sonic stage has some usefull tools like being able to get track/album info for your music already ripped to your harddisk (unlike connect which only does this when riping) I have had nothing but problems.Firstly i tried to get Sonic Stage to format my MP3 player, however the software doesnt seem to have this option unlike connect. I then selected all my music on my MP3 player and selected and hit the delete key. This proceded to hang the software which i had to end task. Upon re-opening the sonic stage software i decided to use the delete all from device option and supprisingly this worked. I then proceded to try and send my music library to the device (all my music is either MP3 or WMA) but each time it would tell me that it couldnt transfer the tracks without giving me a reason why, upon clicking the ok button on this message it would loose connection of the device telling me that there was now no space left on it. Disconnectiong and reconnecting the device would solve. I have tried several methods of trying to send my music (one track at a time, send all) but every time it just fails with cannot send track.I have now given up and have gone back to connect which works fine even though it has abvious limitations.

afrokenjonny Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 also... i dont think SSCP 4.0 is all that great- i mean, still no unicode support? i did everything that thread said about windows applocale and editing the hex 40000, but i still got ????? instead of japanese or chinese. at least Connect shows me the names right. which why was why i got a SONY CP instead of Ipod.

Christopher Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Connect Player is no longer being developed. There may be a maintenance release or so over time but I can assure you nothing new will arrive. As far as I know, the Connect Player team has been idle and working on other projects for a while now.

Mehedict Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 OMG, this is a nightmare... It looks like SonicStage does not manage playlists on my nwa-3000, I dunno where's the problem, but I simply can't add 3 new songs to an existing playlist, is this a joke? I expected more abilities and simplicity, but I really, really don't like this. and Do you have any ideas how to manage the device's playlists in SonicStage? I hope I'm just doing some mistake... Connect is over? WTF?? Nothing more to say, I'm getting really mad that I haven't buy an iPod.thanks for any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
