Someone threw this item out with various other electrical items - it did
work until I tried to put music of my choosing onto it.

So far I've found an app on one of the Sony websites (about 58Mb) that
requires online registration - unfortunately the website that links to
doesn't respond.

I did find a Sony MP3 manager - that's how I trashed the flash folders/song
database.

After a lot of searching I found a Sony Walkman app on Sourceforge, but it
unpacks a .jar file - not much help on my Win machine.

Anyone know where to find flash Walkman utils to reformat it and fill it
with songs?

Thanks for any help.

A .jar is supposed to run by java.

Thanks - I don't think I have Java on the XP machine that app is on, and it
has no internet.

A search for Java redistributable didn't help much!

Any ideas?

As for the walkman, try the following:

If you need to format its memory, do so by following these directions: https://docs.sony.com/release/NWS20xF_flyer.pdf

The app you need to transfer music is SonicStage, which is discontinued. An unofficial user-supported version is at http://forums.sonyinsider.com/files/file/95-sonicstage-43-ultimate-edition/ Download it without registering at http://www.mediafire.com/download/vflb76id7exzb88/SS43_ULTIMATE.exe

Oops. Apparently I can't link directly. This is the website: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html "Windows x86 Offline" package is the normal redist.

Thanks but that link takes me to an error page stating that I have to agree
to terms & conditions, a search of the homepage seems to only offer Java for
Win7.

Thanks - the first link went to a page that says I don't have permission,
the second link got me the file, will try it when next at the other PC.

Thanks - I grabbed the Linux one as well just incase I decide to give that a
go.
