Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013

Vendor participation in forums strikes me as a topic for discussion in a different thread. Why not start one?

I do appreciate Steve's help and knowledge displayed in his post and the threads, that is a service and we should be thankful, but the continuing promotion of his products in the posts is not appropriate I feel. People get all up in arms when other dealers or manufacturers start promoting in other forums. Fair?

Just to separate this, I do have very high regard for Steve and his business and the advice he offers the audiogoners. He builds business this way for his company and his reputation which is and great.

I'm out,

I took a chance and opened my unit, removed the hard drive from it's cage and cloned it to an ssd.

Glad to report that the operation was a total success!

With regard to classification, I simply put the composer's name in the "Artist" section and the performers name in the "Album Artist" section

To Willieddog, great to hear that!

What hardware/software utilities used to clone the hard disc?

How do you put the composer's name in the "Artist" section and the performers name in the "Album Artist" section?

Tks

Can the Hap install system software to a new inserted HDD? Tks
