Any date for the nw a55 in UK?
Any date for the nw a55 in UK?
I have added the NW-A45 in the short list of what to buy for my first dap, however i haven’t been able to get non conflicting information on M3U playlist support. Now my music mood changes like the British weather, so do like to have a few different playlists.
Rock
Guilty Pleasures
Individual Album playlists
Am I right in thinking that I am able to create a playlist in something like Mediamonkey & then transfer it over along with the tracks to the internal storage of the NW-A45, from which I can then load up the chosen playlist whilst on the go ?.
Many thanks
Mostly correct. You may have to edit the playlist in a text editor to remove the pathnames before transferring it to the Sony, depending on how Mediamonkey formats it.
Thank you for that quick reply, it is a shame there is no direct way of doing things but then from what I understand, other DAPS like the Cowon D & D2 have a similar issue with playlist files. So would need to have some a decent search & replace facility to bulk change if that is the case.

The problem is that play list files normally have the full path to the music file as they were located were the play list was created and that will rarely be directly transferrable as those locations change from device to device
. Thanks for that, it is good to know.If you are on Windows, even Notepad has one, so it is not terribly time-consuming. Same with most Linux text editors.
Yes you make a good point there, it’s crazy when I used to own devices like a 4th gen iPod touch and going back even further to a 20gb Creative Zen Touch, I was able to create playlists without fail and send them across to those devices with all tracks in order.

so you confirm it does work with mp3. do you think it will be the same with the a55?Happy to report that gapless playback works perfectly. It works so well that I was actually surprised by it when listening to some newer albums that I had only heard with audible gaps. Loving this player and the battery life has been stellar.
It works with mp3, and the A55 is a slight upgrade over the A45 so it's gonna be the same.so you confirm it does work with mp3. do you think it will be the same with the a55?
Thanks for the recommendation for MusicBee! I was using the Sony software for the past year and it was first badly designed, then resource hungry. Hopefully MusicBee will be a better experiencePicked this up a few days ago and absolutely love this player. I didn’t bother installing the official Sony software but instead use Musicbee for my playlists and it works like a dream, even when it comes to adding new songs into an existing playlist, it works brilliantly. This Sunday night it will be put to the test when I do a 6hr coach journey & a 5hr flight.
