New Sony Firmware For HAPZ1ES Player

Sony has a network update available (today) for the HAPZ1ES server/player.  It upgrades the firmware and adds new features.  You also must update your remote software on your iPad or Tablet.  It all took less than 5 minutes.  Seems to be working fine, so far.

Cannot download anything directly. Files have to be beamed in from elsewhere. Can play via external usb drive though.

I've had the Hap for a while now and I must say that I'm quite happy with it overall. Good intuitive interface, useless remote, but easy enough to work from my dedicated iPad. (Which was on its way to the graveyard before I got into streaming/servers.) It survives as my remote for the Hap. 

I've loaded approximately 200GB thus far with a lot of room to spare.  I wish it would allow me to consolidate files via the computer interface; Artists that record singles with other artists cannot be consolidated into a folder.  Small kvetch.  It's a keeper.

You can merge folders via the remote control.  I forgot which app, but I had a cd with a song missing which was on a separate disk  It enabled to merge the 2 folders into one.  You will have to experiment with the remote to get it right but it does work.
