Can't rearrange tracks once transferred to the NW-E005F!

[stxva]

Hi, I just bought the NW-E005F. When I transfered the tracks to the mp3 it wouldn't let me rearrange the order of it. I'm using sonicstage v4.0 right now but earlier i also tried v3.4 but both failed to work. The most annoying thing is that my old one(NW-E99) could do so. So is it just something I did wrong or the walkman simply doesn't have a basic function like this(which seems really stupid)? Thanks n please help me out!

It's probably Sony's new emphasis on playlists vs the old group organization that the E99 uses.

If I remember correctly, a similar situation occurs with the NW-A series.

Your best bet is to create playlists on the PC and transfer those to the device. If you want to change the track order on the device, then change it in the playlist on the PC and then re sync to the device.

Kind of lame, but it's the way Sony's new gadgets seem to work. Similar to Windows MTP devices.

I was frustrated by the same issue when I first begain using my A608.

I had been using an E507, which let me re-order the albums and tracks on the player. The A608 did not. At first I thought it was the software but now I believe the issue is actually with the player itself.

The newer network walkmans (A-series, E00X-series) have on-player searching features that casue them to behave more like an ipod...organizing everything alphabetically and letting the user locate songs by artist, genre, year, album, etc.

It took me a little bit of time to get used to that but now I quite like the new organization. It helped me to really be sure everything in my music library was organized BEFORE I transferred music to the player.
