Hi

I tried to look on the e-earphone website to buy a AM2, but couldn't figure it out! How much did you have to pay in tax and customer etc? How long did it take for you to get it?

Thanks

I think paid around 200 in tax, but unit was originally only about £830 when I bought it, so cheaper than a UK unit. Took a little under two weeks, perhaps 10 days to arrive using a proxy forwarding service.

Previously in the thread I wrote down details of the method. I'll see if I can find it..

Same here for the US - paid state tax only so far, but my research says that’s all I’ll pay. But will see. So for Texas it was 8.2% tax on top the price of $2,900

Got a smaller braided cable from FogCity. Overall a solid cable, well made. My only criticism is it's got a braided nylon exterior so it's pretty microphonic with movement. Not a big deal with music playing but not ideal.

Anyone have any sub 150 usd cable recs that don't have a braided exterior

My other idea was electrical tape around it?

Can someone please recommend a proper SD micro card at 1TB or 2TB that is not crazy expensive for the NW-WM1Z M2?

Please provide link to purchase it.

Sandisk extreme pro 1tb ebay. You'll find it well priced. And I've checked for being genuine.

Should be able to find it a lot cheaper than retail.

I think I committed cable heresy twice today.

First I took out the memory from the memory wire by repetitively applying stretch along the axis of the Sony cable which I think put little cracks in the memory wire so that it's no longer holding memory

And now I'm taping up my shorter custom cable like a heathen

They got bogged by complains about non working streaming apps, buggy software, slow database updates and discussion about hardware defects or cellular interferences.

One objective change with firmware 1.04.01 on the WM1ZM2 it's that the database update is slower than with 1.03.00

I was wondering if there is a simple way to add lyrics to the songs?
I have mostly ALAC and FLAC files.
I'm on Mac.
I looks like no tag software is able to add lyrics because of the LRC format https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LRC_(file_format)
This is a big drawback of Sony Walkmans.
Other brands like A&K just read correctly the lyrics tags of a music file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
