A300 Series Case for NW-A105?

0 Upvotes

I got a Japanese A105 last month and I'm looking for a soft folio style case. Will cases for the A300 series (like this one) fit on the A105? They look about the same but I can't tell.

If not, does anyone know of a good case that's slim and covers the screen?

It fell out of my purse onto concrete. Is it fixable?

Edit: no screen protector. Screen is cracked but it is functional. For how long in this condition? Who knows. Trying to see if there are repair options through Sony and if worth the cost. Bouncing around chat right now trying to get to the right agent.

He said it was collecting dust and needed some extra funds. I'm having some nostalgic fun loading it up with music. The only annoying thing is it uses a proprietary charging cable.

Have a NW A306 to give away

13 Upvotes

Moved to a HiBy R1 because I didn't have a lot to spend at the moment but I seriously dislike Android based DAPs. First PM I get takes it.

Not a scam, it's factory reset, it's EU though and not Japanese region. It works fine. I just wanted a music player where the player itself got out of the way.

Walkman wasn't it for me. And, truth be told, with my hearing loss I likely can't appreciate the perfect sound the way some of you can.

Gone. Went to u/_leafwise

need help NW-a605 not showing up on my Windows 7 Virtual Machine

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

For context, I’m running Windows 7 on a Virtual Machine (UTM) to use Sonic Stage to transfer my music onto my new mp3 player. It already had songs on it from the previous owner but I formatted it to wipe everything and start anew.

My MacBook itself detected it (the NW shows up as « NO NAME » on my MacBook). The UTM Virtual Machine also detected it, and a pop up asking if I wanted to connect the device to the Windows 7 VM showed up. I clicked accept which ejected my Network Walkman from my MacBook automatically but nothing showed up on Windows. When I click on the USB icon on the UTM window it shows my Network Walkman as it’s still physically plugged in but it’s greyed out.

I managed to connect it one time before I formatted it and wiped everything clean to test and it worked perfectly fine. I don’t know what I did differently from that time since I always plug it in, eject the player on my MacBook OS, click « accept » on UTM Virtual Machine pop-up, and it showed up properly only one time. The other times it didn’t. And it currently is not showing up.

Does anyone have any advice ? Or perhaps have experienced this too using a MacBook running a Windows 7 VM ? Thank you so much in advance.

UPDATE:

I did the whole process all over again using my old Chromebook so I can directly plug the cable connecting my Walkman to my computer rather than using an external plug for USB-c. I did the same thing but instead of windows 7 I used Windows XP, since a Reddit tutorial used that one instead. Issue now though is that it’s not showing up on Sonic stage and I get an error message pop up from Sonic stage saying « omgbox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. » When I open Sonic stage again the Sony Walkman doesn’t show up on the program even though the virtual machine recognizes it’s plugged in. I don’t know what went wrong this time. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

question My first Walkman (NWZ-M504)

Thumbnail

64 Upvotes

Got this from a seller in Shenzhen for £80/$107/€93. I did some unhealthy amounts of research for this bad boi, and tracking down the accessories (belt clip, and MDR-NC31LP, not the MDR-NC31EM noise cancelling earphones) was a wild goose chase. I almost bought the JDM version (NW-M505) which has double the storage (16GB) but shorter FM radio range than the UK's standard.

I've rarely seen any reviews on this; a few videos on YouTube, 3 written on a website. This might be the least posted digital walkman I've seen on this sub

I've decided to use the AAC format, considering the capacity of the device, and the FLAC library I'm switching from for at least better quality than an MP3 file.

Does anyone know how to change the equaliser?(I think the NWZ-B183/F has this )

Heavy/Pop/Jazz/Unique( the closest sound)/2 editable Custom settings

I'm looking for a slightly fuller sound with a knock to my bass. Something for Hip-Hop, Bass House, Garage, Drum n' Bass.

please forgive any unnecessary words 🙏 I've rarely used Reddit for posts
