Sony Wireless CPF-IX001

[captaindav]

Hi guys, looking at buying the excellent wireless cradle for my A818 but I have been warned that there is a compatability issue with the WM port. I've been told that the cradle won't play non Connect (SonicStage) music.

I am thinking of buying the new X series player but need to make sure that this too will play (and be charged) by the IX001 system.

Any help is always welcome!

Thanks.

I have two of these cradles and you have been mis-informed. It works with my *818 and my new X1060. Whatever music is on the player WILL play back. I have rarely used Sony Connect music store. The only issue you might have is the remote control functions are not guaranteed to work with each generation of walkman so you may need to use the controls on the device for scrolling etc. Other than that go for it. The IX001 can be found at a really good price now.
