hi their,

i purchased a sony nw-hd1 a few months ago and played brilliant until one day it just stopped working. sonicstage didn't even recongize it, as i was busy i left itn for a couple more months and thought i would try to see if it worked and it did. however when i was putting new music onto the device, sonicstage again stopped transeferring and didn't respond. i then ended sonicstage and took the song nw-hd1 out of the cradle and tried to play it and again that same problem arose. it tries to play and even beeps however i can hear the harddrive stutter and then it turns itself off, has anyone else had problems with this and if so can anyone please help, i love the thing but it keeps bloody braking on me.

forgot to mention, it still plays through sonicstage if i want to play the media from the device, as sonicstage recognises it, i just wanna know why it doesn't play noramlly, cheers

thanks alot

hard drive could have crashed... it under warrenty ?wait for someone else to reply but from the "an hear the harddrive stutter" bit it makes me think that may be the problem.

you haven't dropped it or anything have you? but if its under warrenty it might need to be sent off to be fixed/replaced

i suggest contacting sony about it.

i forgot to mention, i plays through sonicstage and sonicstage recognises it as a device, so why doesn't it play normally?

DAMN, i haven't got a warranty, i might just leave it a bit and see if it works again like it did last time, what you think? kinda whish i got an ipod now, though i hate to admit it...

cheers for all your help guys, i really appreciate it

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
