Hi there,
I was wondering if i could make a suggestion for an update in the firmware of the Sony walkmans mp3 players...
I have a NW-105 (but from what i can see, there are lots of similarities in firmware through the whole branch of Sony mp3-players)
Suggestion:
The way to select multiple files.
On other devices by other brands you can select more than 1 song/artist/album/file/playlist/bookmark... to do certain actions with. (My personal favourite to draw inspiration from: the Double Twist android app; very cool, stable and good example with this feature)
Fiio, shanling and tons of other dac devices have their ways to do this too...
- a) Mostly the gesture "holding while pressing down"
on a certain song/artist/album/file/playlist/bookmark
makes the "selection dots" or "check boxes" appear
AND on top: "option-icons" ("select all", "delete selected", "add selected to") appear...
- b) (This way we can now select multiple songs/artists/albums/playlists/files/bookmarks...
- c) After we made the selection we click the wanted "option-icons".
when we chose for "add selected to" we will get the following options-containing menu:
- play
- play next
- add to play cue
- add to playlist (if this option is chosen we go to the playlist-screen that shows us the already made playlists to chose from where we want these files to be added to, also on top we have "create new playlist with these files")
AND/OR (depending on the possibility that the device can actually create .m3u files or not.. if not.. only "add to bookmarks" is possible of course)
- add to bookmark (if this option is chosen we go to the bookmark-screen that shows us the already made bookmarks to chose from where we want these files to be added to, also on top we have "create new bookmark with these files")
- (in this example i used "artist" but it should be applied to songs, playlists, bookmarks, albums too of course.)
- This way we can increase the workflow on the device.
I love my NW-105 to bits!!
But at the moment it's a real hassle to make play cue's on the spot... item per item per item...
At the moment it's just sooo time consuming...
CONCLUSION: a general firmware suggestion: ability to select Multiple items => add to => done
Please, if there is a special section for firmware suggestion like this... please let me know and i will add this suggestion and delete this topic here asap.
Kind Regards N.
Thx for your reply...
But that's not what 'm after. It's realy something for the OS on the device itself, for the user at the moment, on the spot...
When outside... or at the teras sipping a pint, or at the gym, ... (you don't have a pc 
there, i mostly not lol)
It's pure a workflow ergonomic suggestion for when you want to create yourself a selection of music ON THE SPOT
Later on i always run the .m3u files through PL-creator on my pc, to manage my selection further & deeper...
I am well aware of that workflow 
Again; it's just for when you're outside and have an urge to select some artists & or certain albums depending on the mood you're in AT THAT MOMENT ^^
you catch my drift Peter_S?
Hi N.D.M-9100, there are no Sony reps here You already delivered the feedback, hopefully it's soon be taken into consideration. Good luck. ^^
