Sony NW-A1200 Walkman

[rawson]

Hi all,

I bought a nw-a1200 a few months ago and had no real problems with then one time when i removed from my pc and tried to turn it on it came up with a message saying no database found connect to compliant software, when doing this it starts to try and update the devices database using something called intelligent features (my arse!), then gives you the error 000066d6 with a load of garbage, pain in the arse, especially when your goin on holiday in two days and have got 1500 songs on the player. Either way i couldnt find a fix for this anywhere so thought lets just see what happens if i go into the device via windows explorer, when you go in there is a folder called omgaudio just delete it then using the small reset button on the bottom of the player reset the mp3 player.

Hey presto working fine again now.

hope this will help someone that has the same problem to save them tralling through internet page after page trying to find it

Thanks, Rawson - and welcome to Atraclife!

I hope the NW A1200 continues to work for you. I've had countless problems with mine, but I persevere cos the sound quality is ace and its a cool device and is NOT an iPod...

Enjoy the holiday,

D

Hey ,You delete the Omgaudio folder from the walkmanand then you pressed reset button and you got your muisc back ?????

Stuge - you're right about the remark. I guess I didnt read the post properly - it was after a serious "Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory" session ;-)

Wouldnt deletion of that folder result in all the tracks disappearing with it?

What is wrong with the A1200...the poor thing always seems to put a foot wrong....
