win.explorer. The thing Is if you want everything to be “nice” u must edit your
ID3 tags, I recommend Aimp2 or Tagrunner, and then drop them into player via win.media player 11. It’s actually very
simple, but Id3 tags can be a pain in the
a*s. Also one interesting note, If you drag and drop files via win.explor. the “year” data wont be visible in A829, but if you do it via media player11 it will be ok !

Is there any other software that is compatible with this player or any other way to get music onto it – i.e. drag and drop. Sony “Product Support” wasn;t too helpfull…..

I have bought and tested the NWZ-A828K and unfortunately the device doues not play HE-AAC files. You mentioned it should do. I bought this device in germany. Can it be that the HE-AAC playback is regionally limited (maybe to Japanese devices).
Where do you have your information from? Was the HE-AAC support announced by Sony?

Regards,

Christian

http://www.sony.jp/CorporateCruise/Press/200802/08-0220B/

16GB: $38.000 (or USD$ 350)
8GB: $28.000 (or USD$ 260)

I would say, kinda expensive for just 16GB. They should go for 80GB at this price (sigh).

Release date: 20/03/2008 in Japan.
