Q: For music play back, can the Sony HAPZ1ES be set up to play an entire album, both with and without gaps between the individual tracks?

A: Yes, you can certainly play an entire album, if you wish. You can also choose your music by track or by artist. The playback typically follows the source material. In other words, if you copy a CD into the player, it will play the tracks according to the separation on the CD itself. You can, however, set it for gapless playback. I can tell you that the player is a sweet piece of audio equipment. We love ours. But please note that it is not a media player for streaming your music over WIFI. It does stream Spotify and Tune-in Radio, but it only plays music that has been copied to the player. On the other hand, it does allow you to copy music via your WIFI network.

Q: Can I play my iPhone through this remotely when using Spotify?

A: Hi Don5, Apple devices can be connected to this player however, using spotify is not guaranteed. Thanks, >Joffrey

Q: If the hard drive fails (and all hard drives fail eventually), is it user replaceable? If not, what is the charge for Sony to replace it?

A: Hi DCBruce, We recommend to have it repaired by an authorized service center if it malfunctions. You may check this link out for more information about repair options: https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/service.pl?XID=M:footer:esupport ~Ralph

Q: Will it play ATRAC files gaplessly? It's not explicitly stated. Sony can't answer. Incomprehensible not to given ATRAC is Sony's proprietary format that's inherently gapless and the reason I went with Sony long before Ipods played gaplessly.

A: Hello SpaceCadet, thank you for your message. Supported playback format DSD (DSF, DSDIFF), LPCM (WAV, AIFF), FLAC, ALAC, ATRAC Advanced Lossless, ATRAC, MP3, AAC, WMA (2 channels). For more information, check the next link: https://docs.sony.com/release//HAPZ1ES_refguide_EN_FR.pdf. Oscar.
