Content Transfer 1.3 Update, EU and Japan Get Walkman X Firmware Update

contenttransfer_main

Hey guys and girls, looks like Japan and Europe get to update their Walkman X firmware which is said to improve online browsing (is anyone surfing the net on your X?):

This firmware update improves the following performance:

  • Displaying and navigating Web sites will be improved.

Note
“NetFront” browser installed in your device will be upgraded with this update. After the upgrade, the browser will not display Thai language fonts anylonger. If you want to be able to display Thai language fonts, do not perform this update.

Let’s hope we get the same treatment in the US soon, as I understand it is a holiday season and Sony software engineers just need to tweak the installer to work on the US models. When I tried using the firmware upgrade from a European website, it does not recognize my Walkman model (NWZ-X1051/1061) as it is intended for NWZ-X1050/1060 models (even though the software agreement lists all the US legal language and the installer is for X1000 series).

Anyways, the good news is Content Transfer software is at version 1.3 now and you can get it here and install it without any problems on your English speaking VAIOs, Lenovos, Dells  and whatever else you are using.

Content Transfer software is an easy way to get audio, video and photos, as well as podcasts on your Walkman.

Models:

・
NWZ-X1000 series
・
NW-A800 series
・
NW-S74x/S74xK/S64x/S64x
・
NWZ-W202

    Just updated my firmware, what a difference, maybe a little late but better late than never!

    What's the difference other than the update to the browser that NO ONE USES?

    A recent firmware update (V3.00) added the “Artist Link Shuffle” function to the list of Intelligent Shuffle modes, along with a clock and calendar. Symphonic is an open-source platform-independent alternative to Sony software that supports Network Walkmans.
