I Don't like my VAIO VGF-AP1

jimbojames78 — Thu, 28 Jul 2005 23:14:25 GMT

last wednesday i bought my vaio pocket
I also have a Creative Zen nx 30gb wich works perfect , even better than my vaio tough
my Zen is more innovative than the vaio, also the software of creative is much better than SonicStage because i can easely change every song directly on my player with sonicstage you can't do it that easy, and a lot of other things
The firmware and software s*cks to me
Creative I'll never doubt you again
I'm gonna trie to bring back my vaio to the store
and hope i get my money back or change it for a new Creative player

I brought my vaio back and got my money in return
the outside of the vaio is amazing (thats the reason why i bought it) but the inside isn't
good luck to all who has a vaio , i hope you enjoy it more than i do

I know you're probably going to flame me for linking to iPod related stuff, but there's free music here which is legal downloads.

HTH

Contra's Vaio
example1 :
i have downloaded songs to my player without checking and changing the id3tag of every song , how can i change the album,title,artist or genre at one time ?
the software of creative works like windows explorer:the selected songs can be changed with just one right click of your mouse .
example 2:
you can't put your mp3's back to a pc without software and firmware updates
example 3:
Ican't play mp3's directly from my player on a computer
I can't insert variable mp3's
I cant browse or search for a song and play it as a preview without deleting my playlist
the player and software don't support Dutch
if Iwant to search for a song (in my library of 4000 songs) i have to scroll all the way down till I find it
I can't make profiles (like a mobile phone)
it misses a lot of other crucial options (i'm not gonna put all of these items in a list)

Pro's Vaio
It looks beautiful , a real eyecatcher
long battery life (20hrs) - Creative has 11hrs
nice touch pad
remote control
slim design
color display
nice craddle
and maybe there's more but I don't have my player anymore
I've returned it to the store
I'm glad I didn't selled my Creative Zen yet and I'm gonna keep it

End of story

Ps: I still love all the other stuff created and designed by Sony

How much did you payed for your Vaio ?
I payed 200¿ for a AP1 and a AP1L costs about 375¿ and in the official Sony Shop costs the AP1L 500¿

=> NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VAIO NOR SS IF YOU DIDN'T TAG CORRECTLY IT'S NOT SONY'S PROBLEM
example 2:
you can't put your mp3's back to a pc without software and firmware updates
THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL DRM. YOUR MUSIC IS IN YOUR PC AND NOT IN ANOTHER
example 3:
Ican't play mp3's directly from my player on a computer
WHAT FOR ?
I can't insert variable mp3's
THAT'S A PITY CAUSE I CAN
I cant browse or search for a song and play it as a preview without deleting my playlist
????????
if Iwant to search for a song (in my library of 4000 songs) i have to scroll all the way down till I find it
????????
I can't make profiles (like a mobile phone)
GROUP IS MADE FOR THAT
Well it seems that the problems have nothing to do with your Sony. Why did you bring it back

yer I was wondering that because some of his problems arnt actually problems and some dont make sense

I reccomend reading manuals on advanced devices or just stick with simple technology like the creative player.:smileylove:

Believe me I'm a fanatic id3Tagger and sometimes there are songs that I've forgotten to change
And sometimes i want to put music on another computer
Or play music on my laptop from my HD player so i have a nice overview
And lots of my mp3's wouldn't work on my Vaio
Sometimes I want to play a song without screwing up my playlist and thats why i use the preview ( after the preview stops the music from my playlist continous playing) this can be very usefull sometimes

The Vaio Pocket mp3 support is grudging at best - it is also churlish of Sony to add a DRM layer to a non DRM format during transfer. Sony Entertainment rules Sony Electronics.

And SonicStage - they're just having a laugh

Re: I Don't like my VAIO VGF-AP1

ndriver — Fri, 05 Aug 2005 03:58:38 GMT

Is it possible to add Music files to a VAIO VGF-AP1 from two different computers?
(without deleting the entire library on the AP1 & starting again)

I cannot find the 'device authorize' feature in the European version of SonicStage.
I have a laptop (S-series) & a desktop (non vaio) & if I cannot find a way of transferring audio from both I will almost certainly bring my Pocket VAIO back & get a refund.

Please help before I lose faith in Sony:smileycry:

ndriver — Fri, 05 Aug 2005 05:16:51 GMT

I might have sorted it out by upgrading SonicStage on both my laptop (which seemingly has the US version??) & on my desktop.

I still don't understand the initialize thing but maybe this will become clear with time.
