I installed that mr walkman thing a while ago. could that be causing this? Powering it off is impossible because it automatically boots back up and starts creating database again.

Guys I have zero music on my wm1a and it's taking forever creating database what's happening

Just tested the battery life of my secondhand 1A. I thought it would worsen a little after all these years, but with Bluetooth off, nfc off, normal gain, balanced, 80/120 volume, screen off, and all songs shuffled I got 33 hours. Awesome. Now if it wasn't for that little bubble growing on the...

How much weight would be appropriate? I've noticed that the bubble on mine is getting bigger. It's odd the first owner said he used it for 3 years, but the bubble started getting noticeable since I received it. Maybe something happened during shipping.

Say I use it 2 hours a day. For better battery life, is it better to shut it down between uses or just turn the screen off. Is that sleep timer function under playback settings a battery saving function?

Thanks for the advice. I may try it if it happens to get bad. Luckily it's not noticeable at all when the screen is on for now at least.

I see. If I baby it do you think I can prevent it from expanding? I read that it's ideal to keep it away from sunlight and warm places. I tried pressing on it and it didn't budge at all.

Appears to be an air bubble. Any way to get rid of it? It's not underneath the screen protector, it's on the lcd.

I have no reason to lie about this. In the MUSIC folder 2311 albums prior to creating database, 1925 after. They were gone, deleted. Could've a problem related to reformatting like I mentioned in my last post. You can't make that statement "first person in 7 years" if you can't account for...

It's a mk1. I suspect the problem was that the sd card had to be reformatted after the initial insertion. It's the only reason I could think of that could cause a chunk of my albums to be deleted. After it was reformatted, I just transferred my backup from my pc onto the sd card again and...

Alright, crisis averted. Everything's good now. Once I test the battery life and if that's good, the R5II is going back cuz this 1A is clean.

It was in the root directory. When you open my drive, there's an android folder, dcim folder, and a MUSIC folder. All separate. The MUSIC folder was not inside of any other folder. In fact, I deleted all other folders besides the MUSIC folder before I inserted it. After it created the database...

Untrue. All of my music is in a folder called MUSIC.

I've just deleted all 1925 albums that were on the sd card that's currently in the 1A. Now I'm transferring all 2311 from my backup onto the sd card again.

I previously used the card on a android based Hiby R5 Gen 2 DAP. All my music was in a folder named MUSIC. Not sure about the ID3 tags. I used mp3 tag on most all of them to make sure all the meta date was correct (artist, album name, year, genre, album cover, album artists, track #, disc #) but...

Guys I scanned my micro sd, but it deleted roughly 400 albums from the card. It went from 2311 albums to 1925. I made a backup prior to inserting the sd card, but this is ridiculous.

Got it. It looks good. Now just to check if can still hold a charge.

Local DHL has my 1A. Pray for me.

Did you ever not use it for long periods of time? Or did you always look after it? This is in regards to my last post

I have one final question regarding second hand wm1a, I think. If it has been sitting at very low battery % or even 0% for an extended period of time, will that have worsened the overall health/strength of the battery? Regardless of whether or not it has 500 hrs of use or 5000, will going...

Would this work with the wm1a?

Well I'm in the US. On Ebay, most if not all listings are from Japanese sellers. Anywhere from $450 to $600. However, most of them don't respond to messages and show unit information. I looked on a store called FromJapan and found many in good condition and for great prices around $400, but I'm...

I'm paying roughly $620 after taxes. Do you think that's a fair deal?

How much would you guys say a second hand wm1a is worth in like new condition, but with around 500 hours of use. I ordered one that only had only 44 hours, but the seller screwed up and tried to sell me one with 500 hours instead.
