Hello,

im SAMDestroy and a new member of this board.

the reason for this thread is thats i want to release my sony filemanger here at atraclife.. it looks like this is the right forum for such a release.

With "Sony Audio Master" you will have ID3Tag Editor, mp3 normalizing, upload/download/deleting and a backup and restore system.

to realize this i was using:

libusb (to connect to the device)

SonyDB source (to interact with the device)

taglib (to read and edit ID3Tags)

mp3gain source (for the normalizing routine)

zlib (for the backup and restore system)

Many thanks to the coder of this libs/sources

Currently tested on Vista and XP with Sony NW-E405

This is a beta version.. this means there are maybe bugs left to fix.

Some Screenshots of SAM:

SAM, any chances for MacOs version ? ther's still no app for transferring music for NW-A805 series :(

Hello hexplor,

sorry i dont have a mac at home and i didnt port a win32 application before :-/ also im using alot of windows functions for it so i think it would be alot of work to port it.

maybe someone else who knows something about porting win32 to mac can contact me to work on a mac port for my filemanager.. but currently i just want to get rid of the alpha state.. so i need to fix the remaining bugs.

@All

i already fixed the album-tag bug and the "selected-downloading/deleting" of tracks.. most of the normalizing routine is fixed..

this weekend i will fix all bugs from the normalizing routines..

so expect an updated version in two days..

EDIT: weekend is over and a new version is posted.. i changed from alpha to beta version because most bugs should be fixed now :-)

EDIT:EDIT another week is over.. i uploaded a new version with some small bugfixes and changes

btw: feel free to post your comments ;-)

cya

Hi,

great initiative I think. I've tested it and have some feedback for you.

I started out with an empty library. I can add songs one by one and it works fine. It's ok to delete the songs too. I can not upload an album nor create one. SAM crashes then.

My system is vista ultimate 32bit - sony nw-a808

I have a suggestion if you don't mind. (mind you just a suggestion). Is it possible to make a "light" version with a dropzone for adding files and the possibility to delete and downlod files. For me that would be the ultimate program. As of now if you want something lighter than SS it is just VAIO musictransfer that works with the newer nw-Axx series and with that program you can just add files. To be able to delete them you have to start SS thereby nullifying its usefulness. Your program is the first program except for SS that I've tested that does not corrupt the players database! GREAT work.

Anyway keep working on this. really great work

cheers

Hello pomj,

thanks for using SAM :-)

i had some trouble with the album upload in earlier versions but not with the current version.. are you using beta05?

anyway i changed some minor things on the album upload code.. i didnt post it yet because i really changed just small things on the code.. i will upload a new version soon

maybe SAM is crashing because of your device.. like i wrote at the first post.. i was only testing with NW-E405..

i will catch you via PM to get you my msn email.. maybe we can locate the bug and talk about the "light" version

cya and thanks again for using SAM

Hello all,

i was not releasing beta06 because of a known bug in SAM..

pomj pointed me to the right direction and with his betatesting support i was able to locate the problem in SAM's sourcecode..

it was a unicode failure in ID3Lib. this lib i was using to read/write the mp3 tags.

to fix this problem i was replacing ID3Lib with taglib.. this lib is fully unicode compatible.

thanks pomj for your help on this

also the progressbar is fixed and should be accurate now

the other changes on this major update you can see at the changelog

tested in ubuntu linux with wine

works perfect

but the new 0.7 version not working because the change to tag.dll file

when i replace the tag.dll file to id3lib.dll works again

probado en ubuntu linux con wine

funciona excelente

pero la nueva vercion 0.7 no funciona por el archivo tag.dll

porque cuando remplazo el archivo tag.dll por el id3tag.dll funciona otra vez

thanks for this awesome program

gracias por este increible programa

WOW!

THank you very much for this Great Tool!

If i get my NW-E505 to Birthday i liked the design and the using, but i was hatting 3 things....:

-The Volume Limit for the european Union [Why is there no Volume Hack Fimrware outside :-( ]

-The software to tranfer songs to the Player.

I am person who want's to install as less as possbile software to the PC.

Sonys software was like spam for me!

Your little tool is small, without advertising like to buy a song from the internet or something.

THX very very much!

The wolrd need a tool like this.

Did you get the information for the connect from Sony?

Or did you collect the data for youself from the internet?

And also i have some wishes :D, perhaps you could build something inside:

-A automaticly LOG.txt save funktion, if one us happens a programm damage or something going wrong. [like at my first transfer :D]

-Language file Support, i could write a German.ing for your Tool.

-A folder sorting funktion to sort the songs by artists and there volumes/albums.

My favourit sortings ist: Root:Artistname:ALBUMFolderwithsongsinside

That would be great if i could sort the songs and copyX and paste them.

-Folder Upload funktion with songs inside

-Tray button, perhaps this one with a point-button between the X, the Minimize and Fullscreen button.

AND4YOU:

-Put a dumyfile into your archive so that the archive is bigger than 5mb.

So you get points at Rapidshare.com, this point you can converting to premium account if you get more then 10000.

Its a gift for you than, from us :D

And you could let the program delete this dummy file at the first start of the program then.

So Greetings from Germany and many Thank for this GREAT Tool!

Hello STILLlistening,

i have logging support in this app.. but i was removing it for the public beta..

language support can be easy done.. i dont need your help on german language because im german too :).. maybe i can implement it in a later time..

theere is already a sort function for the "create album" tab.. you can sort by selecting and moving (via cursorkeys).

fodler upload can be done too.. jsut a small changes on the dialog.

i can make it so thats the app will minize to tray while hitting dialog minimizebox..

about rapdishare: i dont mess with rapidsharepoints.. but thx anyway

cya
