0 LG1 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 try the BCR-NWU5http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores...552921665369128I don't know if it will work but i think it should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ascariss Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 The x series has the WM-port so anything to do with the WM-port will work with the x series, including docks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mr.el Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 The CPF-NW001 does have a WM-port, i'll order one today, and let you all know if it works.thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jimbo Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 The CPF-NW001 does have a WM-port, i'll order one today, and let you all know if it works.thanks guys.Hi - was just wandering whether you'd received it yet, and if so, does it work well with the X-Series, as I'm also interested in a dock for mine and this one is meant to be very good. If you have got it and its working well, where did you order yours from (I'm assuming you're from the UK)? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mr.el Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I'm from the UK, and i tried ordering it from here: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller...G&A=detailsthere was a problem with ordering it, and i didn't want to risk leaving my money in limbo so i cancelled it.it's a discontinued model as far as i'm aware, so my local Sony shop don't and won't stock it.I'm looking to just get the dock at the moment, the problem with some of the Sony products is although they have the quality, they are just a little overpriced.and what's more, the dock means i can use that otherwise pointless slot thing that comes in the x series box.Again, i'm struggling to get hold of one of them, but i'll try and get back here as soon as i do:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look the same but the width of the slot for the player is not wide enough on NWU-BCR3. https://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores...552921665369128It's price is high but it comes with a charger, which can be used with the cradle or can be used separately for traveling.

So the only way to create plalists is through WMP 11 for the Walman X? Content Transfer won't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see there is another post abt. there being an issue with iTunes 8.2 for some (or all?) playlists.I've actually asked Sony why it won't accept playlists from iTunesthis was the reply:Thank you for your recent e-mail received on 04/07/2009 11.37 PM.I am sorry to learn of the difficulties that you are currently experiencing with your Sony NWZ-X1060.In response to your e-mail, I can confirm that the Sony NWZ-X1060 is not compatible with iTunes for importing purposes.This product will accept DRM-free songs that were purchased from iTunes. However, it will not support the use of iTunes for importing purposes. This was not an advertised feature of this product.guys, i asked them why it won't accept playlists, and to be honest, this isn't exactly crystal clearit would seem we're stuck to using WMP11 and wma files only if we want playlists:SSongbird says that it supports asx. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.asx), and doesn't mention anything else.maybe i've got a dodgy player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bob123 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Content transfer seems to accept drag n drop of songs and playlists from iTunes if the version of iTunes is 8.0 or 8.1. If you have itunes 8.2 then it doesn't work. I know this because my work computer had itunes 8.0 and my home pc had itunes 8.1. both accepted drag n drop via content transfer from itunes.But when I updated my work pc to itunes 8.2 it wouldn't work. apparently apple is aware of people piggy backing on itunes and so changed some things to prevent it with 8.2.

Question
mr.el
I want to buy a dock for my x series, but can't seem to find one anywhere.
the CPF-NW001 cradle looks hopeful, but it doesn't explicitly mention backwards compatability(it's an old model designed for the A series).
can anyone help?
thanks.
