I got the new sony walkman (NW-a1000) two days ago, and it looks great, works great and have good sound. That’s the player, the software and the communication between the computer and the player totally blows! First of all, the software takes up 99% of my CPU. It also destroyed my whole music-library by making 2 .OMA copies of almost every file! Then when I plug in my player and want to get my files in there, the whole computer freezes. I have gotten it to work a couple of times, but it takes about 1-2 hours (!). Oh, and a lot of my files can’t be put into the library because of the copyright… Then, after the first day, I thought that maybe updating the firmware would speed things up, or atleast make them work smoother. I did that, and now I have 2 files that are corrupt and stuck in the player. This happened even though I emptied the player before updating the firmware. The battery time was also a big dissapointment… It said that it would last about 20-24 hours (I think), and I can’t make it last more than 10, tops!
I’m gonna return it, buy a dubbel-pedal for my drums, and keep listening to music on my computer! BIG dissapointment from Sony! Love the player, but the software is torture!
I just had to write this to get it out of my system!
