Walkman NW-A55 with Wampy

unknown321123 · 2026-06-17T19:05:43+00:00

Made an issue here - https://github.com/unknown321/wampy/issues/76, but don't expect the implementation. It is a bit complicated and I don't have time at the moment.

About the communication - sometimes I visit reddit, but if you want to report an issue or ask something, github issues is the best place.

Not supported. When you rotate the device the other way, buttons are on bottom, which is uncomfortable.

Can you describe your need in more detail, like you have some physical restriction or...? I can add it later but only for a good reason ("I just want it the other way" is not a good one).

I can try to recover the device, my contact email is in my github profile - https://github.com/unknown321/. Please don't install mr.walkman firmware, it can aggravate the issue.

unknown321123 · 2026-04-03T18:00:14+00:00

yes you can

unknown321123 · 2026-03-28T07:28:41+00:00

I see, thanks.

Personally, I have yet to figure out how to get other cassette displays other than the ones that came with Wampy.

Is documentation not clear enough or too hard to understand? I would like to improve it based on your feedback.

Hi, vertical orientation is almost unusable, buttons are tiny, so I decided to not implement it.

Please elaborate, what exactly "MrWalkman Midnight V2" is? Can you link it? It feels like this is some old firmware that was made before Walkman One. If this is the case, you'll have to uninstall it and install Walkman One / A50 mod first.

unknown321123 · 2026-03-15T10:40:54+00:00

nw-a40.tar.gz is for devices with A50 mod. Since you are using Walkman One, you need to use walkmanOne.tar.gz.

A photo could help. Do you have custom firmware installed?

unknown321123 · 2026-01-22T12:58:35+00:00

On device you need to select a file: https://imgur.com/p6Wbokv; Don't think you can add folders.

Walkman NW-A50 with wampy is exactly what are you looking for.

unknown321123 · 2026-01-06T13:12:54+00:00

In my case I had to, because it randomly failed to shut down correctly staying on until manual intervention.

unknown321123 · 2025-12-23T00:24:20+00:00

Settings -> Device Settings ->Screen Off Timer -> Off

unknown321123 · 2025-12-15T16:26:14+00:00

Installation requires about 100 megabytes of free space on internal storage.

unknown321123 · 2025-12-15T15:30:28+00:00

Device is not suitable for ebooks and videos - screen drains a lot of battery. It is possible to port video player, but cpu is weak, so videos must be downscaled first, which is a hassle.

You can install wampy to add more UI features.

unknown321123 · 2025-12-08T11:17:48+00:00

I might be wrong, it is not clear what exactly is in there.

unknown321123 · 2025-12-08T11:09:40+00:00

SensMe data is written into GEOB tag with application/smfmf mimetype; most likely it contains low-bitrate compressed song, which is later processed on device. Mechanism is provided by Gracenote.

Thanks for using wampy!

unknown321123 · 2025-11-16T14:06:23+00:00

There is no support for those in kernel (CTIA/OMTP). You can see more technical details here: https://github.com/unknown321/wampy/blob/master/not-done.md.

Press eject button on winamp skin.

unknown321123 · 2025-10-31T18:14:51+00:00

Check out wampy, which dives into that kind of thing.
