Using Windows Explorer You can use Windows Explorer to organise your media content and then transfer it to your Walkman®. Just follow the three easy steps below:

Keep your content organised

You can use Windows Explorer to create and name your own folders, and arrange your MP3 music, picture and video files. Then choose the tunes and movies you want on your Walkman® - and just drag them across.

Manage your content with ease

You can keep all your MP3 files and folders - music albums, photo albums and videos - up to date using Windows Explorer. When you're ready to transfer them to your Walkman®, all your folders and labels will come too.

Plug in and transfer files

Transferring your files from Windows Explorer to your Walkman® is as simple as moving files on your PC. Just plug in via USB and drag your content into the appropriate folder that appears: MUSIC for music, VIDEO for video, you get the idea.

Open format support

Your Walkman® can playback a huge choice of file types. It’s open format, which means it supports popular sound, image and video file types from JPEG and MP4 to AAC and MP3. Even drag and drop transfer of non-DRM music, videos, podcasts and playlists is simple. And if you’re migrating your personal collection of ripped tracks from another MP3 player, there’s no need to re-rip all your tunes from CDs. Not all of our players support these formats. Check individual product pages for details.
