In order to download music to your Sony Walkman, you need a special program called Sonic Stage. Files copied using normal explorer cannot be played.
Instructions
Step 1
Install the Sonic Stage software for recording music on your Sony Walkman. To do this, insert the supplied disc into the computer drive. In the installation window that appears, select the region in which the device will be used and click the install button. After the process is finished, restart your computer.
Step 2
Connect your Sony Walkman to your computer. To do this, use the supplied USB cable. Connect one end of it to the corresponding connector on the device, and the other directly to the computer. If you are using a device that supports Magic Gate Memory Stick, then insert this memory card into the device itself before connecting it to the computer.
Step 3
Start the Sonic Stage software. To do this, select "Start" -> "All Programs" -> Sonic Stage -> Sonic Stage. Alternatively, start it by double-clicking on the appropriate shortcut on your desktop. Click on the Transfer button located in the upper right part of the program window. Next, select the direction of transferring the music files.
Step 4
From the My Library list on the left side of the Sonic Stage window, select the files you want to record on your Sony Walkman. If you need to write multiple files, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting. If you want to burn an entire album, select the entire folder.
Step 5
By default, mp3 and OpenMG files will be copied to the device with the same format and bit rate. However, if the connected device does not support a certain format, the files will be converted by the program. If you want to change the bitrate and file format yourself, click on the Settings button.
Step 6
To start transferring files to the device, click the corresponding arrow button. The ripping process of the audio tracks starts.
