**Drag and Drop**
Connect your MP3 player to the computer. Some MP3 players connect directly to a USB port, while others connect to a USB port by way of a specific USB connector that comes with the MP3 player. Open the folder on the computer that contains the music files you want to transfer. This is usually the "My Music" folder, available from the "Start" menu, but it can be any folder where you save your music files. Scroll down to the song you want to transfer to the MP3 player. Right-click on the title. When the options are displayed, click on "Send To." Scroll down the "Send To" options and select your MP3 player. This can be listed as your MP3 player's name or as "Removable Drive." Click on this selection. Continue this process until you have transferred all songs that you want to your MP3 player.
--**Windows Media Player**--
If you have a large playlist to transfer, you may prefer to do it from your media player, such as Windows Media Player. Once your MP3 player is connected to the computer, open Windows Media Player. Click on the "Sync Music" tab. Drag songs that you want from your Windows Media Library over to the "Sync Music" column to create a playlist. Click the "Begin Sync" tab at the bottom once you have all of the songs on your playlist. This action will sync all of the songs to your MP3 player with one click. Disconnect your device once songs have been transferred by clicking on the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the bottom-right side of the desktop tray.

try this and see if you get better results but if all your missing is a lousy 11 megs why worry thats just about 3 song if your lucky im sittin on 15 megs on my 2 gig and it doesnt bother me 1 bit

read your manual - it will have the specs

i've posted a solution here.
It was posted for another model, but i think it also works for your walkman

1. my mp4player

Try selecting the Format option :) (I had the same problem).

Pressing the reset button will not scrub your a3000 memory.
I have just tried it on mine to make sure I dont give you wrong info.
It just switches it off.

as i thing u have 100% the disc full..!!! :P i have the same model and i saw that when i had it about 7-8GB it was normal but when i puted a lot of other softs and some more music it started slowing down.. so (thats my advise) its better to backup your mp3 and do a reset from the bottom next to the charging inpout..then please install only music and not every program u find on the internet..u have to trust it..!

holpe i helped

stratos

sony connect is offline sony decided to stop trying to have an online music store... if that is your question
