0 markey Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I wouldn't hold your breath. No more ATRAC and no more Sonic Stage. Spoke to a guy in my local Sony Centre today who told me that they were getting no more stocks of the NW-A8xx(ATRAC version) in, and from now on it would only be the NWZ-A81x(WMP 11 version) that would be stocked from now on.

I'm also confused about this piece of info. So does this mean that with the old NW Axx seriers that you cant use WMP 11 with it? We are confined to Sonic Satge? Or will thre be some firmware upgrade to enable us old timers to start using WMP 11 with our devices?It so confusing!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cauldron Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 No idea about new software, but Japan is getting another update for SonicStage CP, the version 4.4. The changes are only relevant to the S610/710 and A910, but that's still a new version. As for firmware updates, if you notice Sony's habit, you don't see them very often after the product has been discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
