Aparentley the w995 uses walkman 4.0 but is in "beta" stages, so what would people like to see in walkman 4.0 specifically software wise as 3.0 is pretty advance, and does anyone have information regarding 4.0, such as new features etc?

Haha your funny. That DJ thing is a real gimmick nothing special. The time machine care to explain? Anyway skin support sounds nice that means the music buttons in it are customizable and such right? Also hmm if its V4 then should it not be on A300? If not then what its running on A250?

A playlist editor would be nice, i mean, in Walkman 3 you cannot change the order of songs once you've added them in a playlist....

Also, some keyboard shortcuts for basic stuff like adding songs in queue, ala Cybershot UI (Think 3,6,9,#)...

Thats all i can think of now...

I like the idea of been able to choose tempo and mixing tracks etc, also we all know what se are like for gimmicky features, shake control, smile shutter.....

Time machine is a feature used on all sony walkman mp3 players, you press the "ok" button and the dates shuffel on screen e.g 1993 to 2004 it then plays a song from that date, im pretty sure the w960 used some form of time machine as well

ive got one! They could update the microphone so that you can add your voice to your stored music using an updated version of music DJ, i also think music DJ should be put in the walkman player, that would incorparate the DJ feat used in new samsung phones

I also think you should be able to make your own tunes using music DJ then be able to Upload them to play now plus, and charge 10p per track and you get 1p credit for every song that is bought

The music DJ from samsing aint happening forget it already! And as i said seeing as i got a chance to test it(i am lucky enoguh to have friends who are testers for mobile companies) its really stupid imo. i mean what a fake scratch table and some other stuff aint happening. 10p for midi crap is useless and uneeded if you want to make real music go to a studio not your phone.

I would be nice if they put Voice recording in mp3 format, not in midi. This is just what i think, maybe this has nothing with walkman 4

Guys, If you want a good software for recording voice I found one which is awesome... It's Dictaphone, and it's free from the WAP Sony Ericsson site if you set your phone like G705 or some others... It records in WAV and quality-wise it's on another planet against the poor AMR!!! Of course the files will be bigger...

I'd like to see the 'repeat single track' function in 4.0, it's very handy ie, if you need to review a new song and have to listen to it repeatedly. We can still can do it now but it's a hassle to set a new folder for it and set the play mode to repeat all tracks. The UIQ walkmans already have this, I don't see why they can't implement it in 4.0. Other thing i'd like to see is IDtag editor as well as track bitrate info

@HxH

That's pretty specific but actually it's a simple process to put in the player software.

I spotted W880/580's Walkman Player (2.0) and they support 3 "skins": black, white and orange.

I hope WP4.0 will support background animation like W950/960's ones.
from my observations, sometimes it's better off not knowing.
