You got a new device, right? If you go into Files > DeviceInfo, what does it say? Mine is different than others on this thread -- mine reads
COMP.1.00.0100
PROD.1.00.0100

I am trying on NWZ-E380. What the OF displays mostly irrelevant is the sense that it depends on which version of the OF you flash (and you reflashed it to install the bootloader) and not on the hardware. Also we only really on an incredibly small piece of code of the OF to init the RAM at the beginning, if it was failing, Rockbox would not boot so it's unlikely the OF has any influence on Rockbox. But I can try to reflash my bootloader with this particular version to double check this theory. Another possibility is that there is a more subtle hardware difference between E370 and E380. Unfortunately, I don't have a E370 to test on anymore... By the way, you are running a nightly build right ?
It would be useful if anyone reading this thread could try to reproduce to problem. Maybe I simpy was unlucky in my attempt.

Nightly build? I'm using the last build that was posted on this thread. Is there some other build I can try? It doesn't work with the utility, the releases/dev builds don't show anything for this device, and the dedicated pages for the NWZ-370/NWZ-380 haven't been updated in three years.
If there is some nightly build I can try, I'd love to know about it.
saratoga:
The wiki page links to the development version: http://build.rockbox.org/data/rockbox-sonynwze370.zip
If the port is pretty far along it might make sense to mark it as unstable and add it to the download page.
pamaury:
Saratoga is right, please use the the link provided the port status page (that he copied in his post): http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SonyNWZE370Port
I am currently away but I will take steps to move this target to unstable and make it appear in the download page, and also add support to RBUtil.

Okay, two things:
First, I had no idea there were nightly builds available. It's not really clear on that page that the development version is new, so I thought it was an old one and hadn't looked there in months.
Second... I put the nightly build on, and it's better. All that stuff I had trouble with before -- the random pausing and the WPS dragging to a crawl, that's still happening, but it's not quite as bad with this version. When the WPS becomes unresponsive, the pause, play and volume keys still work, but the screen just stays blank. It's a step in the right direction.
(The issue is still happening, and although not as bad, it's now happening on more files when they're in a playlist of 2 or 3, not just the files that are mis-read as 127 kbps. This never happens with the OF, so I can't think of anything it could be other than a playlist issue.)
So thank you both, pamaury and saratoga, very much. I'll keep looking for nightly builds, but I guess I'm resigned to Rockbox just not always working that well on this device. But the OF is nearly unusable with podcasts, so I'll manage.
