Sonic stage windows 7 - Sony NW-E505 MP3 Player

Try Sony's web page.

Hi,

The NW-E55 Walkman Player is compatible only with the SonicStage Software for transferring the songs. Unfortunately, the Software is not compatible with the Windows 7 OS and won't be able to transfer the songs from the Windows 7 OS using the SonicStage Software. Only option to transfer the songs to the Player using the Software is via Windows XP or Vista. However. once you install the Software and transfer the songs, you've to use the same computer to transfer or delete the songs again.

Thanks for contacting FixYa.

I hope you have Sonic Stage software installed in your computer to transfer mp3 files in this mp3 player.
Plug mp3 player in computer and Sonic Stage software and transfer few mp3 files in mp3 player. software will take care of that error as well and will install required files/ folders in mp3 player automatically.

ive got the new version of the sony sonic stage downloaded onto my laptop,and when i plug my player into my laptop via usb cable,the player itself is recognized straight away as a harddrive/removable disk etc,and you have to transfrer music onto the player as from sonic stage music library,and you also have to creatate you own music library via sonic stage,and u can also transfer music from your own music library wich you use via windows media player,and also u can transfer a cd into you sony sonic stage music libraty,and this is similar to when your using the windows media player as to rip a cd or transfer music onto an mp3 player,as i use all diffrent types of mp3 players myself,and i find the archos gmini sx 202 player to be pretty awesome player,as ive got to of them as well,and i use windows media player as to transfer music files onto them,and i cannot transfer any music files onto the sony ones via windown media player as those music file wont show up on the player at all,and ive tried this myself,and it will only work via sony sonic stage.

go into the settings for sonicstage and select your dvd drive. that should be it. but you may have to do other things(i have a sony player too, but i have found sonicstage to be a waste of space and time. it is rather a pain. try looking through the manual and seeing if you have any options for the location of the cs drive. if not, then get a usb cd burner and connect it to the laptop. that should work properly.

Is that what Sonic Stage says too?

If Sonic Stage shows songs are on it (or when you click Properties, it shows there is data on it) 

- try the reset pin just under the volume buttons.

Never Format using windows!! EVER!!
If that's what you've done, send it to Sony for repairs - it's toast.

open mg is the app used to run sonic stage, maybe you are using a dead icon, try finding it in your C drive, and no, windows meadia player will not recognize the special sony audio format. so your SOL w/out the sonic stage
