Has anyone figured out how to convert videos to the player's highest resolution? The manual reckons you can do wmv (vc1 simple profile)at 480x270 at 1700kbps, but the max dimensions for simple profile appear to be 368x208 with a max bitrate of 384kbps. If I switch up to the main profile at the same dimensions, the video doesn't work.
if the Walkman had a store similar to the app store that the ipod has and they advertised their products as much as apple did then they would be a serious competitor
I bought it from Amazon.co.uk, you can only watch videos widescreen and as far as I know the Walkman can play most video formats whilst also using WMP and itunes for transferring music.
@ClaudiaShavick Don't knock the ipods, they're great devices with a fuller set of features compared to the Sony for $400. I have a smartphone already, so I have no use for the features of the ipods, that means I'd prefer a dedicated music device that has far better sound quality in playing music...the Sony wins in that department. Others may not have a smartphone, so those people would buy an ipod strictly for the purpose of having an all in one solution.
If I don't want to play the videos widescreen, can I play them upright? My car holder doesn't hold my MP3 player widescreen style...and I want to be able to play my videos both rightside up and widescreen style...
the screen, is it big enough to stay into a movie (like in a airplane or an car, don't you have to bend over ore something? :P) and the web browser, can i check my mail on it or can i do ebuddy on it? and is it really that bad?? that's all i wanna know, i'm considering this one or an zune hd. excuse me for my bad english.
Well you maybe right about the price. But this is defo worth the price. i got mine yesterday for £170. its the BEST walkman i have ever owned and at that price.
Yes but the PS3 was designed to play games (etc) at the comfort of your own home and this to play music/videos on the go. I've seen laptops that cost as much as an entry level car and yet people still buy them.
what is the volume like on these ?, i bought an ipod classic 80gig about two years ago and because of the EU volume limit its a complete pain in the arse, i will buy one of these if its got decent volume. .
I had the same Ipod classic and I have just changed for the Sony X. Believe me there is no comparrison. You will be blown away with the sound quality of the Sony.
Sony does have better sound, than comes zune, than ipod, but i cant afford that sony so i got a ipod. Besides ipod has more accessories, docks, speakers, etc. But sound is most important and i think apple wasnt thinking about that.
For people having problems with video, remeber when converting the file to save it to WQVGA (432x240) resolution as any higher won't play. Also check there are no licenses for that file.
yay i got that 2 days ago, awesome player! defo recommend to anyone who rathers pays for sound quality than applications and better web browsing, which the touch provides. Like i hardly would use the applications and web browsing whilst travelling, sound quality is more important and the sony x series features the best sounding mp4 player on the market.
People buy iPod not because of the sound quality they buy it because it's hip and cool and everybody is carryin it these days even tho the walkman has better sound quality,but the major problem with sony not only mp3/mp4 wise but gaming systems laptops too is they don't advertise anythin and if they do they do it for a limited period of time and only on few channels
@xXkillzoneXx1 Look at the packgnig so messy!! Ipod forever. Actually ipod has cleanest audio of all Mp3 players I tested. Sony and cowon boost bass but becomes muddy if you listen carefully. And listening ipod with my ultimate ears, it is very good in audio quality
hey dude i 1st had the old walkman with tapes,now cds players,than md players.now i pods,zune players.i was wondering how much is this sony walkman cost in the u.s.?wut year did this walkman came out?how many gbs can you hold?how many videos can you hold?
i dont get why ppl make a big fuss over how the web browser sucks or it doesnt even have that many apps you see sony doesnt need that because they make excellent electronics that they dont need all that extra junk to make there pmp look good like the ipod touch which sucks so they need all that extra bull shit.......... sony rocks!!
im very interested in this since i broke my psp and i really want a pmp and ipod suck unless its the classic but even them i really want this one ....any way in order to put music in it is it drag and drop or do you have to sync every thing please answer thanks :)
Nice!! yeah your right some people just love ipod bcause of its sleekness and its name. Like me... But the sound quality is very poor. And now I wanna get rid of my iTouch.. I'd made a mistake.
Great video. Just got one of these bad boys and love it. Upgraded from the itouch since I was only using it for music and youtube (no apps), so the Sony quality (and more affordable 32GB) sealed the deal.
It's a shame that the sound quality can't be demonstrated in these videos as it's out of this world. But then, Sony do have 30 years experience in this area!
or8 pal i have a small inquiry in the vid you mentioned PMP not familar with this termonolgy what odes it mean btw nice peice of hardware is the sound qualty good ps did adam video you
remeber he says with sony you throw music from your pc WINDOWS OR APPLE STUF, with ZUNE, i have the 120Gig model, you only need to use ZUNE , and its not good, bettter then apple software, but its crap, I like how on my PSP i just drag a file , its simpler, so I would love this SONY!
yea man i know zune software has some kinks(as you described and its a comp resource hog swallowing my laptops memory so yea, still zune is improving and the HD looks sick and hopefully they lighten up zune software....Zune is also apple only direct competitor since it has its own software and player.... i really like Zune pass... im not saying nothin about this player and i thiinks its really good!!!
yeah ZUNE is good software, its not that CRAP, but i just prefer not to use any software at all, and just transfer from HDD to MP3 player. The new HD ZUNE looks GREAT!, AWESOME, and I love its still mp3 player and not a mini super computer, so it might be bit cheaper compared to iPod 32 and this Sony 32. Go for it ;)
