ConnectPlayer su**s as well. I won’t never ever buy mp3-player from Sony. HW itself is OK, sound is perfect, but the SW is huge pain in the you-know-where and ruins everything for me.
I swap two songs among two playlists and it takes like 10min for CP to synchronize this little action within the player. It spends couple of seconds (saying “transferring”) FOR EACH AND EVERY SONG within the playlist — WHY FOR GOD’S SAKE when I do not transferr any songs you piece of crap!?
I hate the “synchronize” concept at all and I hate you Sony, once again, me+sony=neveragain, I swear.

Bloody hell SonY what you playing at, it took me 3 hours to build a library of 1700+ song it takes about 30mins to load every time I try and use it. My machine is a P4 3.2 Dual core with 2gigs of ram and loads on spare disk space, so what going on.…to do the same with Media Player and Music match takes about 10min to add the same list of song and load fine.…

Keep an eye on ATRAClife mate, they will let you know when/if Sony get things sorted. Can’t believe how stupid they are, cause the players are really nice. I’m swaying towards the Creative Zen Vision M though at the moment.

My next tip would be to hunt for a RM-MC35ELK remote for it on ebay. Would be ideal for when you are biking about. I trust you already have some better headphones so I wont point out that obvious change.

Yeah, unlocking that was one of the first things I did :) The only probs I’ve had with SonicStage are it falling over if I tried to import my entire library at once.

Connect also falls over when I try to do that. It does it when I try to only do a few artists at a time. Quite often breaks down when I import just one album at a time, too. Even when I’ve got all the music in there it’s so slow as to be unusable.

What’s more, Sony won’t offer me tech support because *I* installed Windows XP, not some braindead monkey at PC World. Bah.

Hopefully a Sony plug-in for something else will turn up sooner or later. Dammit, even RealPlayer is nicer to use.

Have you unlocked the EU sound limiter yet? If not do so as it makes a huge diference.

I never have had any issues with sonicstage, I use it for a few mins to transfer an album, it does that fine. I’m guessing people must be stupid enough to use it for copying CD tracks to the PC, fools.

Is crappy software enough to put me off buying a product like this? Yes

Could I afford one anyway? No

Good work Sony. If had some money, you wouldn’t be getting it

They’ve been slagging SS off because it *is* rubbish. Compare it to Connect though and it suddenly looks like a masterpiece of software engineering :)

Oops, that sounds rubbish! People have been slagging SonicStage off for ages but like I said a while back it works perfectly acceptably :)
