Does anyone have a problem with the "artist" selection displaying in Japanese like characters? I would like to select songs based on artist

That happened to my player once as well. Not sure why. I've had to replace my player 2 times already. I think it was because it had moisture damage. I'm now on my 3rd player and it's been working well. I would send a note about this to the Finis website. Hope this helps.

The RANDOM mode would be convenient for many of us, but it repeats certain songs many times before the entire list is played. The NORMAL mode also repeats some songs unpredictably. My unit has given good service for over a year and does what it should except for the above.

There is a feature that you can input kanji but the meaning is in Japanese character. I still haven't use this device because I didn't know how to read it.

When i set up folders, I just put all of my separate artists folders into a single folder named Playlist and it played through everything. Try that and see if it works!

Japanese imported Vitas do have O for confirm and X for back. You can't change that. But it's only for the main menu! If you're buying Western games, it isn't like that.I've gotten kind of used to it since the games still have O for back and X for confirm.

Yes it displays in monochrome on the very top digital display screen. The song title and performer(s)'s name scroll like a stock ticker. It was an unexpected feature to me but a pleasant surprise. Very helpful if a song's title or artist escapes your memory.

Yes, Title, artist and sometimes album. i sometimes rename a song( for various reasons) and sometimes that edited name is displayed and sometimes the original name comes up. I also never know what order they'll be played in, after they are loaded, which is okayBill

Ok Jan! My guess you are really talking about "shuffle mode". This mode ramdomly goes from one song to song to another, but not in the order you have them in. It appears that your player is jumping around from song to song. Check it out. See if you are in the setting " Random Shuffle Mode". If it is! GET OUT OF IT! Hope this helps!

On the Go playlist anyone? I'm pretty sure that counts as making a playlist, seeing as it asks you to click which songs you want in said playlist.

There is a setup where you can choose what to display by default (Station, song title, clock, etc..) and then there is also a display button in the top right corner of the unit which when pressed cycles through the different display options such as MP3 title, folder and artist as well as radio station banner information and artist and/or clock. Depending on which display option you choose you may or may not see the clock. The display cannot show everything at once.

Does the selection look for all file types, or just MP3 files. Can you select "All Files" and see everything on your player?

Mine was perfectly fine, i didn't recall hearing about many problems in the Forums. I could suggest that you're probably typing a letter or number wrong, ask someone else to type in the code for you cause they could probably read it better. Or you could try using all caps and/or spaces. Type it exactly how you see it and let me know if it works. Just in case it does not work, call in Akai costumer support and they can assist you with your problem a lot better then I can.

I don't know Japanese and I can use Vocaloid with IA fine. I think the Vocaloid software probably recognizes your computer's language because the software appears in English to me and IA is the only Vocaloid I own. I also just use romaji to make her sing and have had no trouble with that so you don't need to know hiragana to use this software either. The box and instructions I think are mostly in Japanese but I haven't really needed to read anything from there, and any other important stuff you might need to know you can find online translated to English. (Like user agreements etc)

The Ipod Controls are some what lacking, the most frustrating part to me is that if you search by artist it does not asllow you to select individual albums within that artist, if you want to listen to a specific album you have to select it through the albums search folder. This would not be a major problem, but like someone already said, if you have 1000 artist and 2 or 3 even 5 albums per artist, that makes for a long list to go through.

When setting up it asks you for desired language, I choose English so all menus/displays are in English. I would assume if you choose Japanese all is display as such.

Yeah- I'm also seeing this issue- it seems like its not supported- I know its not convenient but to go back to the Song list/cover flow menu- you can skip the songs till the end of the album.

yes, it does show name, and artist as long as you log it inwhen you add songs (such as off a CD)
