Problemplaying music on nwa-3000

[Sione]

Hi guys

I have a slight problem with playback of copied music files on my Sony nwa-3000. Although I've ripped the music from CD to winamp, which works fine (confirmed by a playback test on the computer), and then from Winamp local media playlist in the media library to the player, apparently OK (as when I open up the player in /F: Removable Drive it shows the music I've copied), it actually is not OK. When you disconnect the player (having copied the music to it) the error message reads: "No database Found. Please connect compliant software and transfer information", "Insufficient information. Connect compliant software..." and those kinds of messages when you try to play music. It's a weird problem, I know, but can you guys help me <b>PLEASE ASAP! ANY HELP APPRECIATED! THANKS!</b>

uhm stupid question did you use sonicstage or connect player to transfer the files? if no then the files won't play, unless you have some plugin for winamp that will allow to transfer files to the player, stuff transferred using normal winamp will NOT play on the device.

so please install sonicstage 4.1 and use that to transfer the files, otherwise IT WILL NOT WORK. lol.

Never ceases to amaze me how often such questions come up, when it's very well documented officially and unofficially that you use one of the transfer managers to load content on most Sony decks.

And that amazement is coming from an old techy support veteran too

Ah well... guess some things never change

Well let me point out some other details:

-I did use the ml_sony.dll plugin with Winamp

-Sonicstage is faulty in installation, it terminates having completed 20% of the installation/download

-The music DID play, but only when hooked up via USB to the PC.

So therefore what could be the problem?

umm obviously u will need sonicstage as a tool of transfering music to ur a3000

if it is not installed correctly, try download the latest 4.3 version from this site and make sure it is installed correctly

maybe try another usb port? or reinstall the plugin?
