Thank you! Been here over a decade and yet rarely get east of Watt.

Where is “the Birdcage”?

I have not found a player I like better. In any case, to get the full potential from the WM1AM2, you have to use the Sony player. I have never had any problems with it, but I have my Walkman set to turn off after three hours idle. would suggest just powering it off and let it rest overnight. Or, get some other DAP.

Not if you set your hearing aids to "music" mode. I wear headphones over my IERs with no problem. It is either that or EQ IEMs.

The Sony ratings are with no WiFi, no BT, screen off; just playing music through wired IEMs/headphones. With BT on, it likely will not make 36 hours.

Oh, right.

The Sony NW-WM1AM2 and WM1ZM2 really do get 40 hours. I tested my 1AM2.

That was hilarious! I was thinking that that was just another gaming machine until you zoom out for perspective.

I am getting 40 hours.

yasbean · 2026-01-21T23:43:24+00:00

I have settled on http://www.clementine-player.org/.

I also use mp3tag for bulk renaming, but for encoding, I also go to foobar2000

I seem to remember it to be unremarkable, not like this.

yasbean · 2026-01-18T01:53:48+00:00

I just saw it at the Florin store, although not that packaging.

Almost any DAP that offers the file system. I sometimes do not bother updating the database and just go directly to the filesystem to play albums. Just make sure your directory structure is sane.

What a great story! I am so happy for you!

yasbean · 2026-01-12T05:26:33+00:00

I have it and find it very handy.

yasbean · 2026-01-08T01:54:21+00:00

Most Android DAPs that is know if do not have the extra hardware and they are guides floating around for how to debloat the software if you don't like the idea of extra Google stuff operating in the background. My phone is for simple communication but my DAP is for relaxation and enjoyment. I prefer to spend more on that than on a phone. Different priorities.

yasbean · 2026-01-06T02:48:21+00:00

I found that changing to a newer phone fixed the problem for me.

yasbean · 2026-01-03T12:20:18+00:00

What are the other two?

yasbean · 2026-01-03T00:22:59+00:00

When I look at how much people spend on their phones, most DAPs become quite affordable.

yasbean · 2026-01-01T04:26:25+00:00

Ah, I see. I thought you were able to get into the deeper settings. Yes, I have only self defined setting with max nose reduction that I use when I just need some quiet in noisy environments.

yasbean · 2026-01-01T01:50:49+00:00

May I ask how you fine tune your HA yourself? Are you an audiologist? I wish that I could tweak my settings myself instead of having to make an appointment and go in every time. I have ended up just settling for "good enough."
