Hi jowik,
Most websites are saying that this is a model Sony no longer supports or sells at the moment. The software required is SonicStage 3.0, same as you're probably using. However, it is more of a problem that the device isn't being recognized at all. Have you tried connecting up to any other computer? If no computer can recognize it (which shouldn't happen, but anyway) then there's something wrong with the player itself. When you connect, check for loose connections, and never use more than one USB extension at once. Many people use an extension of their own plus the one provided by Sony, and they have the same problem that the computer can't recognise the player.

Try reflashing the firmware for your device you can find the latest firmware and flashing utilities from the manufacturer?s website. Make sure that you back your music up first because when you do this you are setting it back to factory settings.

Sounds like firmware, Go to the Sony home page, search support then mp3 then your model, or google your model to find firmware updates, you may have to try a few to get what works for your setup. If you have software for music transfer, try updating or reinstalling.

If you are asking how to format the device-

Connect the device to the pc using the USB cable and format the device by right clicking on the device and selecting "format". You may also format the device if you have the Format option in the Menu. formatting both ways would be good.

theres a virus in the walkman or the memory stick its self.

if you have the initial executing files that were on your mp3 when you bye,

Format your Mp3 on PC by FAT32 format and copy those on your Mp3 player folder

if not , mail me : [email protected]

You can't directly copy and paste the MP3 songs to the player to playback. Its uses ATRAC file format and not MP3. Its a very old player and requires Sonicstage software to transfer the songs. I have mentioned the link to download the software and steps to transfer the songs to the player.

try formatting the player....

All you have to do is to find a website that allow you to download free songs. All of those songs are MP3 Files. Here is a website you can gow to download free songs; Mp3Raid.com.
search for any song, download them and then send it to your mp3 player. You can play the selected song on windows media player, insert the MP3 player to the computer, then syn it to your mp3 player.

you might need to troubleshoot this device and then check and see if it works if your computer has never recognized it if it has befor than you might have damaged your mp3 to where you will not be able to get a pc to recognize your mass storage device

good luck

Hello, please check this link: http://support.sony-europe.com/DNA/WM/NW... If you need more info please advice. Arpi

reset your mp3 and then try it, and if it does not work hook it up to a differnt comp.

This player is only compatible with a few audio formats. The DRM protection system on most WMA's simply won't work after a time. If you only transfer songs in mp3 format, you will never have such problems.
