Sony MP3 problems
Nocantype
The CD that came with the NWZ-S616F ("the 610 series") loaded in Media
Manager for Walkman 1.1. AND Windows Media 11. So I ended up with 2
libraries. The Sony guy (in the Philippines) today told me I
shouldn't have both. Well, their CD put it on there!
Not the biggest problem.
In Media Manager, I cannot get the connection to the Walkman. I've
tried unhooking all my USB connections, reconnecting, shutting down
the computer, opening back up, etc. Could be that my voice
recognition, which I cannot unplug from its USB connection, overrides
it? Although, I managed to get some music on the Walkman only a
couple days ago, with voice recognition on.
In Windows Media, it will not sync my music with my Walkman. The
error message is something like "cannot change sync at this time". I
can't "shuffle" either.
Also, not as major a problem, the CD burner I use, not state-of-the-
art, takes like five minutes to even recognize there's a CD in there,
and only Media Manager validates it. Windows Media rarely did.
No, it's not a problem with rights protection (the Sony guy also asked
me). I have Windows XP (with SP 2). My RAM is somewhere around 775,
in case that matters.
I'm ready to return this.
Thank you for any help or suggestions.

to use my feet with my GlidePoint, since I use voice recognition), and
can't copy it into my MP3.)

player and can not get it to sync with either WMP or the sony program.
What I would suggest is you un-do everything you or the sony cd has done.
Uninstall anything they installed. Go in to the device manager and uninstall
the mp3 player as well. Basically put your computer back to like before you
had the player. Then reboot and when in windows, plug the player in to a
different USB port if you have one and let it re-detect it again. If windows
can't find drivers, you can give it the sony cd to only install drivers (or
download the drivers alone from sony's site).
Sounds like you want to use WMP to sync your songs, so ditch any sony
software. You might also want to try installing the latest WMP if you don't
have it already.
I bought a new Sandisk mp3 player on black friday and had one hell of a time
getting windows to recognize it. I searched for hours before finding a
solution... I had to download and reinstall MPT (
Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit) from microsoft. It seems that the
codecs/media players I had installed messed up my MTP, and once re-installed
things worked beautifully. You can d/l MTP here if you wish to try:

good luck, and don't fret. if you lose your mind and it still doesnt work,
try returning it and picking up a different kind of mp3 player :)

resolved my issue:
Try the link given in that post before my MTP file. You can find the link in
the initial post there, under
"Solution: Installing the
umdf file from Microsoft enabled me to re-install the MTP device."
Give that a shot and see if you can't get fixed up!

Again, that could be a conflict, or it could be incorrectly installed and/or
configured software.
Noting your posting nym and you use voice recognition, it maybe best
to get someone to have a look.
The Sony USB device, did it require drivers installed as well as the
software? This is just an example, but with some USB devices (My
cell phone for example) requires that connection involves allowing
the "found new hardware wizard" to detect the actively connected
device, and then for user to direct the wizard to the location where
drivers are to be found, but if such devices are connected via an
external USB hub then the drivers cause conflicts with other devices
connected via the hub, a driver dependent USB device may need to
have it's own dedicated USB connection on PC.
The software installation may have an entry in control panel, but
at least will have an "Options" menu when software is open that
allows you to configure etc.
With any new hardware/software it is always best to logon to the
site and download any updates/patches etc. Sony will also have
a usually excellent troubleshooter for it's products, logon to the Sony
site for your location, click the support link, locate your device and
check the troubleshooter.

I'm not sure what you mean by "validates" a CD, but you say the drive
takes five minutes to recognise a CD is loaded?
Is per chance the CD burner an externally connected USB burner?
Try to explain exactly what is happening.

Again, it's not clear what you mean, you "have music loaded" in both,
loaded from where and how, did you rip from CD are they WAV or CDDA,
or MP3, how are you trying to copy to device - drag and drop or Sony
software, what exactly?

(how did that spammer find this?! -- search for MP3 player maybe)
Uninstalling and reinstalling sound like good solutions; I now can be
much more selective.. (I hope I can save what's on those libraries to
"My Music" so I don't lose all the work I did burning ('ripping'?)
the CDs.)
I do hope I can get Windows Media to work. Well, to recognize the
CDs. That's one thing the Media Manager had over it.
> Noting your posting nym and you use voice recognition, it maybe best
> to get someone to have a look.
(I wish!)
I had a suggestion from a voice-recognition group that I put my sound
card as default, not my headset for recording and playback.
Personally, I didn't think this was the problem, but I can try it. If
that rings a bell (no pun intended), let me know.
> The Sony USB device, did it require drivers installed as well as the
> software?
No, nothing about installing drivers.
I think one (web) page Sony sent was something about recognizing a
device. Or, maybe "the" device.

is a hub in extra attachment, like a cable ? What I have are 4 USB
slots on my Dell computer.

Should I figure out how to do this?
Was this, what you said after, how? :

Yes, good idea, about downloading updates, patches and checking the
troubleshooter.
I think the 3 web site Sony sent me which I've just skimmed probably
at least touch on this.
>

WM wouldn't even recognize there was a disk in my CD (another USB
external) player/burner (Yes to your question). MM took a couple
minutes, and then would indeed rip the CD. (Then just not allow me to
recognize the Walkman, e.g. not transfer the music over!)
> Again, it's not clear what you mean, you "have music loaded" in both,

I managed to load some music CDs onto the Media Manager. Since
evidently the (this is new to me) library on the Walkman and on your
computer have to match, all my former loaded music (from the Internet,
also MP3 files) was on the WM library. To make it more complicated,
the very first time I succeeded in downloading music, I was able to
rip some Russian speaking lessons from a CD, and that time Media
Manager seemed to do it automatically. I don't remember dropping and
dragging.
Now that you've read all of the above, I will also say that my friend
is trying to exchange it at Target (they're supposed to get more in).
I'd rather start from scratch in all this! Then I can do a selective
download from the disk, and as Brian mentioned, don't do the Media
Manager. I do hope it's a custom installation, I hope -- because I
don't remember -- that was an option.
Thank you, thank you.

The software probably included the drivers, the simple test if it were
installed correctly is it would be listed in windows explorer/My Computer
as a Sony removeable device and assigned a drive letter, if not, then
it's not correctly installed

OK, it's not an external hub, but a PCI card, again a guess due to lack
of info, but it's probably four USB connections on one card?

OK, it's a USB burner and a Sony USB MP3 device connected to same
PCI card, there is probably a conflict between devices, but more likely
the Sony device is not correctly installed/configured.

Brians posts are not showing up on my server, but the Sony is USB and
drag and drop would work with such a USB device if it were correctly
installed and configured. If you could rip CD's to a hard drive folder and
the software converted to MP3 file type, then regardless of media managers
or library, if the files were of a compliant type that the Sony can play
then drag and drop would work - The problem seems to be that you need
to correctly install/configure the software/drivers for the Sony to be
recognised correctly.
But also there maybe a conflict between devices. So if you supply exact
details of the Dell - the make and model, I'll try looking up the drivers
for it and it's troubleshooter, the PCI USB card may need updating.
If that is the case then any/all USB devices may have a conflict until it
is updated. Supply details of your Dell comp.
Meanwhile, goto: Start>Windows Update
Allow the scan to complete
Then click the "Custom" button
This will now list optional and hardware updates to left of screen,
Check list for anything pertaining to USB etc
If listed, select and download.

Indeed it maybe a faulty device, but if not and it is a conflict issue,
then any replacement will also have same problems.

so will I,
bottom line, Sony mp3 players are horrrrrrrrrrrid.
ANYTHING else is better than that Godawful software that comes with that
thing.
Do yourself a favor and get anything else...
for starters

I think one crucial piece of advice was looked over thus far. Try to install
and use the mp3 player on a completely different computer. Do the most basic
install needed for it to work without installing any junk and see what
happens.
I thought my Sandisk mp3 player was defective after 4-5 hours of trying to
get it to recognize and be installed, but then i plugged it in a new pc and
it worked instantly, so I knew the problem was a conflict on my PC.
I've been reading about your mp3 player and others who've had issues
(http://www.atraclife.com/forums/index.php?s=3d6c6b267c6c5a8f9ef65eacf34ec069&showtopic=4228&pid=29931&st=10&#entry29931)
and one fellow says they reinstalled WMP 11 and it corrected their problem.
Short of trying the device on another unit, try reinstalling WMP and give
the MTP download I gave earlier a try to see if that helps you remedy the
issue.
