Aaah the dreaded "special" edition. I was reading this forum right up till I bought my f8 from Sony a couple of months ago.I feel like I experienced all the highs, lows / expectations and disappointments with everyone here in real time. I forgot half of what I read about the update that pretty much screwed the f800 so when I bought it I rather stupidly jumped in and updated it straight away and immediately regretted it what with the flac files lagging and freezing. Long story short - I read to the end of this thread and found there was yet ANOTHER update that thankfully circumvented my reluctant but committed resolve to press reset. All in all I'm very thankful to all of you people who help others [like me] in the process of monumental decision making. I wouldn't be too upset about not being able to update. When I thought I was stuck with the "bad" update I wished I was where you are at. It's still a great little music player.

Which update? Never got this problem

No, I mean: which update got the problem he mentioned above (bolded)

GamePat · Jun 12, 2013 at 4:21 PM

It must be 1.10. There where only 2 updates, 1.10 and 1.11

AugustusZab · Jun 12, 2013 at 5:51 PM

Was 1.10 update. It apparently was bad for some and not so for others.

I just nabbed a barely used 64gb F807 from a seller on Amazon for $215!!

I'm stoked to have that additional storage space!

Well after debating with myself for the past few days on what PMP to get I decided on this one, just placed my order on the 32gb version! I have looked through this thread but couldn't find anything, does anybody know of a case for the walkman f series that is sold here in the us for under $20 or sold elsewhere but without ridiculous shipping fees? Also, from peoples experience, does the stock player prove superior to apps live Neutron and Poweramp? (Can you make playlists with the stock/native player?)

Thanks

Case:

Despite not being a real leather, I'm pretty happy thus far. I recommend this case over PDair case as it provides better protection to your walkman.

MagellanR14 · Jun 14, 2013 at 7:19 PM

The prices of the cases are simply atrocious. As much as I would like one, I guess I will have to pass on paying $30+ for one.

purk · Jun 14, 2013 at 7:22 PM

Offer $20 and they may take it. Got mine cheap off an ebay auction for $12 with free shipment from UK.

Oh wow, I will have to be on the lookout then. I am just interested in a simple plastic or silicon case.

@purk, Also, from your experience, does the stock player prove superior to apps live Neutron and Poweramp? Can you make playlists with the stock/native player?

It's a skosh better. But depends on your preference too.
You could test it yourself once your toy arrives.

Aslong as the stock player does on-the-go playlists (does it?) and has an EQ (which I understand it does), I am good! Cant wait for mine to arrive.
