Question2 Questions: What is the maximum micro SD card capacity that can be used? Is there a maximum number of songs that can be played in shuffle mode (since I know many cap out at 4,000 or 10,000 and I'm looking for much higher than that)?
Asked 2 years ago by DavidC.
- Answer According to the Help Guide for the Sony Walkman NW-A306, there is no maximum number of songs that can be played in shuffle mode. However, the shuffle mode does not randomize all the songs at once. Instead, it selects an artist, album, or other category and plays all the corresponding songs in random order before moving on to another category. (it caps out at 4,900) Also, the maximum micro SD card capacity is 1 TB.

Using AVLS limits the maximum volume. This unit also supports Dynamic Normalizer. By activating the Dynamic Normalizer feature, you can reduce the volume level between tracks.

QuestionI am interested in purchasing an MP3 player. You have many but they are priced in about three categories; under $50 / $500 to $800 / above $1200 OMG what a huge difference! Why?
Asked 2 years ago by bongo042.
- Answer Don't get the cheap plastic one, unless you take it running or something similar. For home use, you should go no cheaper than this NW-A306, especially, if you are used to using an iPod. The cheap one will seem like a kid's toy. The more expensive, the higher the quality, but the average MP3 buyer doesn't have or won't spend the amount for the players more expensive than this one.

QuestionCan it support Dolby Atmos and 360 Audio from tidal?
Asked 2 years ago by Theresa.
- Answer Yes, absolutely! And it does a great job doing so. The one caveat is to make sure your receiving device can accept the appropriate signal and play the content. As not all headphones and speakers are built to play Dolby Atmos and 360 content. If you're shopping for those items, look towards Sony products. I use the Sony wh- 1000 xm5.
