Sony has confirmed that some owners of its Walkman line of MP3 players, specifically the NW-A1000, NW-A3000, and NW-A608, have been experiencing problems with the Sony Connect software.

In a statement made by the company Sony has said:

“A number of users have reported problems with their Sony Network WALKMAN NW-A1000, NW-A3000 and NW-A608 when using ‘CONNECT Player’ software.
Such problems may include slow performance or difficulty in installing the software.

“Where they occur, these issues arise as a result of aspects of some system environments and usage conditions. To enable customers to enjoy their purchase, Sony is currently investigating these problems.

“In the meantime, Sony recommends that any owners of the above-mentioned Network WALKMAN experiencing difficulties with their products should first check whether there is a solution to their specific problem in our FAQ section.

“If none of the suggested solutions cures the issue, we recommend the use of an alternative Sony software (known as ‘SonicStage’) which will remedy the above-mentioned issues. ‘SonicStage’ software may be downloaded here, free of charge.

But also the Ipod’s aren’t exactly without their problems are they. It just seems whatever product you buy these days you are taking a gamble as to whether it will last. I guess the old saying; ‘things aren’t made like they used to’ is true.

Actually, there’s nothing wrong with the Walkman’s just the Connect program itself.

Therefore people are speculating that Sony will eventually “kill” their Connect player and focus on Sonic Stage which has reached good stability.
