0 Ascariss Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 the 80x is not drag and drop with windows explorer, and needs sonicstage to transfer over music files.the 81x is drag and drop, doesn't need sonicstage, does not support atrac, and can be used with wmp or windows explorer, even winamp.also the 81x has no on the fly playlsits, ie bookmarks like the 80x.

0 kino170878 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 And of course, the older NW-A808 has gapless playback whereas the newer NWZ doesn't. This may or may not matter for you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, 810 or 800 is seriously a good deal. Edited January 15, 2008 by Zizone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 metal Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yes, gapless playback on A80x is only for ATRAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 markey Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Does the NWZ-A81x support AAC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 markey Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Does the NWZ-A81x support AAC?Yes it does. I would imagine the only way of getting AAC files on to the A81x would be via the PS3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Zizone_ Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) Yes it does. I would imagine the only way of getting AAC files on to the A81x would be via the PS3?I use PS3 for AAC files (because my PS3's HDD which stores much more than my PC) but I think you can use Winamp or drag-n-drop.

0 Zizone_ Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Cheers mate So then NWZ-A81x supporting AAC is gapless right?... hmm... I don't really have songs in my player to really test if it is gapless. I would normally try concert CDs, but I don't have concert music files in my player (personally, don't really use gapless). But, from hearing normal songs, I don't think it is really gapless; though PS3 supports I believe. Anyways, I hope someone else from the forum can answer your question.

0 lamewing Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Perhaps I missed the comment, but can you use the PS3 to transfer ATRAC files to the PSP and A80xx series players? Thanks.Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
