Sony NW-S203F flash Walkman.
 
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?

The Java redistributable is he http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/j...ndows-i586.exe

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/...imate-edition/ Download it without registering at http://www.mediafire.com/download/vf...3_ULTIMATE.exe

Oops. Apparently I can't link directly. This is the website: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...s-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.
