Sony NW-A3000 software on Linux?

Hairulfr · 01-22-2006, 10:31 PM

I'm wondering if there is a piece of software that works with the Sony NW-A3000 Walkman for linux, or if anyone has made anything.
Does anyone have any experience ragarding this, perhaps using wine with the awful Connect Player?

Yesterday someone said at #kde@freenode to be working on a small app (for KDE obviously) that would allow you to just copy files to the device as if the player were just a hard drive. Dunno more, maybe you should go there and ask if anyone knows anything.

Great, thank you!

Has anyone solved this? I'm facing the same problem with a NW-A1000 walkman. Tried installing Sony's Connect software using wine and/or crossover, but got an error complaining about not being able to open /Windows/Sysyem/kernel32.dll
Also asked at #kde and #amarok but no solution there (other than "you'll have to reverse engineer it" and "sell it and get an iPOD" ;-)
All hints are appreciated, Google doesn't come up with much.

Cheers, Leon.

No resolve yet, but work is being done...
It might be a while

Thanks, sounds promising!

Could you post back in this thread about any progression? I'm sure there's more people who are interested to use their Sony walkman with Linux.

Please let me know if I can help with testing. I don't have any coding skills though...

Cheers, Leon.
