How do I get out of the revolting loop? I connected to the computer to see if that helps and I can see the internal memory, but I don't know what to do.

Off topic alert:

Spoiler: Music

Such a beautiful list, we could talk about those albums for hours. One thing that surprised me was the solo album from Manuel Göttsching? That was probably the very last purchase of that style of music I bought from my favorite record store. But I was at least 15 years late buying it from when it was released.

Meaning I still have that Manuel Göttsching album, but I'm surprised anyone knows about it? My reference for that (earlier) style of music was this little book. Now very rare, I wish they would reprint it. Maybe you can find it on-line, though really I think it's too early for your tastes?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krautrocksampler

It is surprising how you have made later musical editions/releases of bands like Tangerine Dream your favorite? Where really I (used to) go for the early works? Same as Manuel Göttsching you have chosen a later work where maybe he is more famous with the Cosmic Jokers and Ash Ra Temple? But who is to say, I mean I'm no music critic and the last time, like 20 years later I tried to listen to some of my favorites of Krautrock I couldn't get into it..........so maybe the later stuff is more digestible now? I still really like Neu!, anyway............haha.

Edit:
I found the book! Though Julian Cope says it is full of errors. Lol
That is why there is no reprint.

Edit:
I had no idea that Manuel Gottsching album became so famous, I will eat my words here! I’m exposing my pre-internet lack of knowledge here!

one other fantastic 'krautrock' album is Can - Future Days (1973)

i also like a previous solo album by manuel , Inventions For Electric Guitar (1975) , he wrote that album when he was 22 yo , this is crazy!!!!

I've sent a package that will get rid of the corrupted database, which actually helped someone else solve this issue with their own WM1Z a few weeks ago.

There was no proof that all the steps were followed and if the WM1A was actually successfully flashed, he just said that it didn't work and that he will send the player to Steve.

I will send Steve the same package so he can apply it properly.

Yes, haven’t heard that album but know about it. I saw Can play live around 1996 in Los Angeles.........they were fantastic! We were at a bar where they played and the lights were on, I was literally about 5 to 10 feet from the band. Funny too I will never forget this member of the audience which had a black shirt and a brass upside down pentagram belt buckle! He never smiled once throughout the show.

Unfortunately, is my WM1A brick I try several times with the tool that Mr. Wellman sent to me over a nice try on two computers two different USB cables and it keeps on disconnecting from the computer. I will donate to Steve.

Unfortunately you didn't send any screenshots like requested, so there's no idea about what's really going on.

At least Steve will 100% be able to run any fixing package.

How do you expect the blind person to send a screenshot Question Mark

Ok, I get that, that's why Steve might actually be a good option, unless you have someone else to do the steps for you instead.

 

[gerelmx1986]

im so excited about my modded 1z to arrive, steve is a genius, i damage my wm1z using wrong balance cable but he manage to fix it changing the s-master and while its there i ask him to modify it, gonna A/B it against my stock 1z when it arrives

 

[Zarathos45]

Hey guys, I’m heading to Japan in three days. Anyone know where I can find a brand new WM1Z over there? Tried reaching out to a few sellers on eBay, but no luck.

bargain (if you reside in EU)

I wanted to ask you guys what a location size (cluster size) are you using to format your microSD cards on your WM one players I did what @nc8000 told me to zoom to download GOI format and just the files closer size I did a full format. I also recommended doing that I formatted first my wine .5 TB microSD card and then transfer all the songs and is still my NW-a55 it's not displaying all the songs it's like missing 3500 songs from the total count of 71,923 songs and this is using the Sony stuff over install the Mr. Wildman software

I worked with totally (extremely) different cluster sizes to check the sound effect on my SanDisk SD cards and WM1Z. But I never experienced lost songs.
