I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've had my A3000 for over two years now and love it. I'm a fan of SonicStage and decided to buy an A808 a couple of weeks ago before they become obsolete (just in case my A3000 bites the dust!). The Trash Bin and Bookmark features are important to me so I don't really want one of the newer models until Sony can give us these features.
I've been using SS4.2 since it came out with no problems but since I got my A808, the traumas have started! Having transferred some of my library across, I've had to be more selective about which music to keep on there due to it's smaller capacity. That's where the Trash Bin bit comes in. Then when I connect to SS I'm getting an intermittent fault with deleting tracks. SS will give me a message saying "unable to delete the following", and lists the offending tracks. These appear in the A808 window down the right hand side but give an error message if I try to play them. When I disconnect my player, I then get told there are no songs available for playback and to connect to compliant software or device and transfer songs. Reconnecting to SS shows the songs on my player and they can be played through SS, but I get the error message again when I disconnect. I've had to keep deleting them all through SS and transferring them again but the novelty's wearing off now. I've pressed the reset button a couple of times but that's not helped and I don't want to format it unless there's no other option.
I've also tried reconnecting my A3000 and it just freezes SS completely. It brings up the player window on the right hand side but it remains empty. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be causing any ill-effects on the A3000 itself.
The only thing I changed when I bought my A808 was the check box about transferring tracks automatically when the player is connected. I didn't want to blow my A808 up by trying to fit 10GB of music on it!
Does anyone know if upgrading to SS4.3 will cure my problem? Or can't you have more than one ATRAC device talking to SS? I'm reluctant to upgrade in case it causes bigger problems but I may just need a nudge from someone with more knowledge than myself. Or is there an easier way that I'm missing?
Sorry for the long post - I just hope I've explained things enough.
