HOUSEkid Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) Well, I know Sony don't suppot Vista x64 officially but it does work, and it works very well apart from the speed it takes to transfer ATRAC files to device.To move a 100mb ATRAC file you are looking at about 10 mins. I have USB 2 and moving stuff to USB pens is fine but SS 4.3 is sooooooo slow. Anyone esle out there with same issues? Is it because I am using Vista x64?Oh, I am using a Sony NW-A808 Edited August 25, 2007 by HOUSEkid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceres Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I am on ultimate 64 and it works without added problems. However, it´s just as slow as on 32 bit vista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangraman Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 It's not so much a Vista issue as an A80x issue. A straight UMS file transfer of a 150Mb file takes 1 minute 45 seconds on the A808. It takes 29 seconds on the Cowon D2...... In XP. And the D2 is definitely not the fastest-transferring 'real' USB2.0 MP3 player out there.And an update - on Vista Business 32 on another PC (a laptop), its 1 minute 47 seconds and 32 seconds respectively.Chronicstage definitely adds it's own delay, but in this case it's just adding a minor insult to major injury. After even going to the length of building a purpose-specific PC to sync Sony devices and suffering with Chronicstage, I finally had enough of all the hoops that are placed in your way by Sony because of incompetence and a general lack of smelling the coffee. I'm keeping the A808 purely as a mini iPod-format video podcast player (since I can't be bothered to transcode them for the D2) only until the new iPods turn up, and the RH1 just in case. Everything else has already been given the boot, and the purpose built Chronicstation has had Chronicstage exorcised from it recently. Good riddance to (good looking) bad rubbish which also doesn't deliver in the sound quality (i.e. not how much bass it produces) stakes. I'll return to the Sony fold when... or if... they ever get their act together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
