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. |

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.
