Ok, the stock firmwares also received the album cover fix.

They can be found here: CLICK

From the last update log of the mods:
"All album covers should now show up fine. No more conversions of progressive JPEGs to baseline JPEGs, or of interlaced PNGs to non interlaced PNGs."

I was thinking that I should make a thread for these mods, so they can be all in all place, instead of just as a random post in this whole thread.

Does anyone have an impression of the CEW or CEW2 region? I don't see them documented anywhere.

Anyone looking for software for Mac Music file playback that’s Bit-perfect and works with MrWalkmans 1A/1Z+ for playing in DAC mode with the Walkmans. Perfect and very customizable!!
90 days free money back guaranteed test period.
But there is Foobar Audio mac version for free. This is my basic player for years (on PC).

There is, I mentioned that. That was my prior software. But it’s incomplete, and introduced as incomplete.

We are taking about Apple software.

The Sony Music Ctr software as far as software goes has been abandoned by Sony. If you were attempting to use it to load your Walkmans it took hours. It does that other Sony file process of arranging songs, not needed and time consuming. The one thing that it did do is find artwork when you ripped CDs, that was cool. But it’s not supported and slow as heck. It has it’s own ideas of what it wants to do with your time. The only other cool thing it did was find and automatically update the Firmware on the Walkmans. I remember out of the blue, it was like “Sony has now introduced 2.0 for your Walkman, would you like to update your player?

Haha that was a cool feature. But actually I don’t use a PC that much, or like it for playing music?

Well, it's not really that abandoned.

Maybe it's just a little bad, at least for those who had bad experiences.

I’ve been using it ever since I got a wm Walkman. Maybe not because it’s the best, but I’m used to it’s interface. I edit my albums and add/change album art easily enough, though don’t tell it to look online or you’ll be watching it’s cogs whirl slowly into action...
