SonicStage CP 4.0 has finally arrived! As mentioned in our previous report, the new SonicStage CP 4.0 includes full support for features exclusive to the WALKMAN A Series. Therefore, we were hoping Sony will finally make SonicStage a fully unicode software since it’s been tweaked to support the WALKMAN A Series. Unfortunately, unicode support has yet to be implemented with this update. On the bright side, it is already apparent that there is a substantial increase in the navigational speed, especially in previously laggy areas such as ‘My Library’. Accordingly, SonicStage CP 4.0 now supports the following WALKMAN devices:
- Hi-MD Walkman
- Net MD Walkman
- NW-E series
- NW-A series
- NW-HD series
- NW-M S Series
- ATRAC CD Walkman

NEW FEATURES/IMPROVEMENTS:
- Support for the Walkman A series.
- Recording and playback support for AAC format – encode and transfer 3GP/MP4/M4A at 80-320kbps.
- AAC tunes in SonicStage CP can be transferred directly to the NW-A3000/A1200/A1000 without converting them to ATRAC format.
Note:
a. Firmware version 3.0 is required for this feature. –> click here for more details

- Full support of Intelligent features exclusive to the Walkman A series.
