Every once in a while I have issues with AIFF album cover art showing up properly on my Mac (in iTunes and Audirvana, which share the same music data), but not on the WM-1A, even though the images were all properly embedded in the AIFF files using Metadatics or Yate, and showing up in the Mac Finder. These have all been for images not found via iTunes image search for a ripped file, but found via Metadatics or just a web search. The problem, as noted, is likely the file type for the image found online outside of iTunes.

The easiest solution I found was to go into iTunes, get the existing album/track image via File Info's tab for Artwork, copy it to the clipboard, then paste the image into the album's files opened in Metadatics. Or, for a new album/track, instead of saving the image from the web and then embedding that file as the album art, copy the image to your clipboard and then paste the image into the file(s). So it's possible that regardless of your OS, if you copy the image to the clipboard and then paste it back into the files, you may cure the problem because of an image conversion done in the copy/paste routine.

None of the newer sony's has them except the ZX1, ZX2 and the ZX100 i think has the stickers.

You can buy them direct from Sony Japan for 108 yen inclusive tax, I had my Sony put a new screen and battery in my ZX2, so I asked them, I didn't get any as I have about 15 pieces, but I got a few WM Port caps, 3.5mm caps and 4.4mm caps.

I would like to also thank @AnakChan for all his help in getting three of my cables reterminated to Pentaconn OFC and NON OFC right angle, cost a fortune, but you spend money on holiday.

By chance is there a link for those 3.5/4.4mm port caps? Thanks!

Who needs a hard case, when you can get a Dignis man-purse for your WM1

Oh this, I like.
Where to buy from?

My new 36 hrs 1Z sounds started to open up more.
Appreciate more than current DX200 with amp3.
More engaging into the music.
Stage is much wider, deph is more, more 3D imaging.
No wonder Sony dropped everything and concentrating on pure sound design in mind.
I guess WM1Z finally is product of 2017 from StereoPhile and some other audio site.

Can't wait until 500 hrs.
Great with Utopia, Encore, and K10C with balanced 2.5 mm connected 4.4 mm pigtail.

You have to buy them separate from dignis which is expensive.

I got them direct from Sony during my visit to Japan, may be you can search for benks, they also have a set with one 3.5mm, 4.4mm and a wm port caps.

It's little brother is quite remarkable too. I have the Sony NW-WM1A, and it is delightful with Shure SRH1540 headphones with a Surf Cables, balanced 4.4 mm terminated cable. I really love my Lotoo Paw Gold Diana, but there is just something really intoxicating about the Sony sound signature. I just installed the 400 gigabyte mini SD card too. I honestly don't know how the sound could improve anymore, but I'm saving for the 1Z so I'll find out.

the 3.5 mm cap is very helpful , ever since i got my cables into 4.4 the 3.5 port gets no use so the 3.5 cap keeps it closed from dust/dirt

Here are the parts number for the official Sony caps, you can try contacting you local sony repair centre.

Does Sony US carry these?

Thanks! I found the Benks ones you mentioned over at Taobao, but I much prefer the smaller profile of the Sony ones. I'll shoot an email over to Sony and see what they tell me...

 

[kms108]

Just for more information.

4.4mm cost 108 yen
3.5mm cost 65 yen
wm port cost 108 yen

price all include tax, this is the Japanese price, so expect something like this.

This must be a very efficient contraceptive.
