Is it safe to keep the Sony NW-WM1A plugged into a 5v=2A charger, while playing continually?

If by continually you mean "forever" - probably not. However, playing & charging at the same time I think are fine. Having said this, I imagine you are burning in your new cable - and will seek to leave it playing continually for several hundred hours?

Yes, I am burning in balanced cables and balanced amp.

I wouldn't, but I know others around here have done so. I would imagine at the very least you would want to run the 1A on battery for a few hours every now and again. The chemistry of the battery these things contain is complex and shrouded in mystery and folklore to be quite honest. I do know that if you continually leave a laptop plugged into the mains, you will have a detrimental impact on the battery - so I imagine these devices are similar.....

I will just burn in off the battery. So far that is what I have done.

is useless to try and mimic A&K line-out design.

1/ Ground terminals are never connected on the 4.4 TRRRS to the board
2/ TRRS on the 3.5mm will not work by any meaning, and when both is plugged in, Balanced will be the priority. So the 3.5mm will be just a sitting duck...wasted away.
3/ the Sleeve on the 4.4mm can accommodate a full sizes body cables shielding just fine, and again....it is never connected to the board.
4/ last and not least, any noises being absorbed and deflected should never be routed toward the source....AKA the player itself. Therefore, A&K design was nothing more than just additional pins and plugs for stability....and that is because 2.5mm is flimsy as heck.

I am baffled to see what Kimber is trying to do here

Using the new music center... its slow, worse tan sonicStage days.

serach has bugs, if i type Bach it should bring all content with Bach be artista, composer, álbum name, title etc and to my surprise it doesn't. all of the 60+ CDs of bach cantatas only brought two.

Switched back to MediaGO

EDIT:

Mediago scanned 49,600 flac files in 1 hour, 880GB or 2940 albums...

Music center missed 3600 tracks (odd) and took 8 hrs

Someone has tried if the new software updates the cover of files without authorization like the Media Go does? Thanks!

It would be nice that Sony improvement bidirectional sync of the lists. It's incredible that I can't star the songs in the Wm1a and update this info in the PC. Sony only has to copy functions that are invented from years, only see itunes please, they don't have to invent the wheel.
