Hi. Some questions about the HiBy R3 II; Does it have true gapless playback across all audio formats? Does it have Replay Gain/Smart Gain (or equivalent) with ability to set by album? Can it Scrobble to Last fm either over Wi-Fi or via PC (i.e. using QTScrobbler) Can music be synced from a...

iPod Touch doesn't have enough memory for all my music and can't be expanded with memory cards - hence why I bought the NW-A35. Plus iTunes is very slow on my PC, so wanted to import the whole library into the much faster MediaMonkey. This just strikes me as very basic stuff to expect from any...

But do they have continuous music between tracks, and if so is the transition play gapless?

But m4a is the very widely used format of iTunes store tracks - which iPods and Poweramp on Android have been able to play gaplessly with ease for years. So I find it very disappointing that the NW-A35 cannot. I'm 95% sure I'll be returning this player now, unless an easy fix materialises.

I'm a PC user, alas. Bliss is currently running on my NAS, clearing and re-embedding all my art, but it's a very slow process - almost 2 days so far just to clear the art. Never thought changing a portable music player would cause this much additional work!

I received the NW-A35 on 23 December and have been testing for over a week with a small number of sample albums and playlists from my 21,000+ track digital music library, stored on a Synology NAS drive, and accessed via a Windows 10 laptop. I bought the NW-A35 with a 200GB MicroSD card to...

Okay, some Sonic Stage help required. I have now recorded all my CDs, in chronoligical order of purchase into the software, and dumped them into the NW-HD3. Trouble is, due to mucky discs causing skipping, I've had to re-record three or four of them. When I dump them back onto my Network...

I can confirm that the forum link above does indeed tell you how to increase the output volume of the NW-HD3! Amazing that it is buried inside a service menu that is otherwise unknown, but it knocks the volume of the unit up to normal Sony standards! It's made my enjoyment of the unit that much...

The 'group' listing on the HD3 is very useful for me, as I've had the foresight to convert and upload my (massive) CD collection in the order I purchased them. So I'm currently playing through my entire CD collection from 1988 up to the present day in the order I bought them - and any new albums...

Well, I received my RM-MC40ELK remote this morning. Strangely, although it was ordered from the US Audio Cubes site, it had shipped from Japan, and therefore has its instructions in Japanese on the back of the box. Does anyone therefore know somewhere online that I can download any English...
