Good News Everybody... [/Farnsworth]

Sony have released v3.0 firmware for the NW-A3000 NW-A1200 NW-A1000
They've released v2.01 firmware for the NW-A600 Series
And V2.0 Firmware for the NW-000F Series

They've released Sonic Stage CP in USA, Japan and Asia-Pacific (& JEB [Overseas]) and a European version is now available :D.

The new NW-A3000 firmware seems good, but I haven't had a proper chance to test it yet.

Not sure which player for.. but for the NW-A Hd players
NEW FEATURE ENABLED:


  • Playing back with AAC format* is available without any format change. Therefore, AAC format files in SonicStage CP can be transferred without converting them to ATRAC format.

    *Note:

    i. Sampling frequency: 11.025/12/16/22.05/24/32/44.1/48kHz

    ii. Supported bit rates: 16 - 320 kbps, VBR (Variable Bit Rate).

    iii. Copyright protected AAC files cannot be played back. In addition, it is not guaranteed that all of AAC files can be played back even if the above conditions are met.
  • The Artist Link Shuffle mode is added to the Intelligent Shuffle.
  • The clock display and calendar display functions are added. If CONNECT Player or SonicStage CP is used, the unit clock synchronizes to the computer when the Network Walkman is connected to the software.
  • The screen saver is selectable.
  • Group +/- can be operated using the compatible stick controller (RM-MC35ELK). Playback can be adjusted to the beginning of the first track in the previous or next group from the current group, regardless of the starting position or the playmode.

    It is also possible to move to the first track of the group in Playlist, Bookmark, Trash Bin and Favorite 100.
IMPROVEMENTS

  • The sorting order is based on the album track number rather than alphabetical order when Artist ALL is selected from the Artist tree of the List search.
  • The animation design which appears while the HDD is accessed is changed.
  • The resume track information reset is prohibited with the recharge operation.
