Itunes with a sony mp3 player

I just bought my brother a Sony MP3 player for Christmas.  I would like to put music on it for him before giving it to him but I have a Mac.  Is there a way I can do that with Itunes or not?  How can i get my Mac to recognize the Sony MP3 plater, is there an App?

I have tried this with a SanDisk mp3 player, so I am not sure if it would work with a Sony - don't see why not..
Open your iTunes, build a playlist of songs you want to put in the Walkman.
Connect the Walkman and when the icon mounts on the desktop, open the Finder window to it - if it has a .mp3 folder inside, ('cos the sony devices have multiple folders in some instances), open that. Drag and drop the playlist of songs - (the list not the sidebar icon for it) into the .mp3 folder, and it should copy the files right in. iTunes itself will not likely 'see' the Walkman, but the Finder does, and will treat it like a new storage volume - which it is. You just build the iTunes playlists to tell the Finder what to copy.

  • How can I listen to songs I purchased on Itunes with my generic Mp3 player?

    I was given $50 Itunes credit for Christmas and promptly bought an album from itunes. I actually could have bought the album as a real CD at the local store but thought I'd use my itunes voucher instead.
    Now I find that I can not just copy and paste the songs or convert the songs into mp3 format so that I can play the songs in my portable mp3 player.
    I don't want to buy an ipod as am very happy with the player I have.
    So the albun is stuck on my laptop.
    Any advice or solution would be appreciated please.

    I'm curious...If it's a record company restriction, then why is it that Amazon can sell them in unrestricted MP3 format, as you say.
    It is up to each retailer to reach agreements with their suppliers. Different agreements may be reached.
    I haven't checked out Amazon yet so maybe they have different music for sale, not from the major record companies?
    The amazon.com MP3 Download Store carries all 4 major labels. (The fourth, Sony, was added in January 2008.) However, it is not available in Australia.

  • Got a SONY mp3 player for Christmas: How do I sync with iTunes?

    OK, here's the deal. I have a MacBook Pro and use iTunes regularly, but now I have a SONY mp3 player from Santa. How do I get my songs from iTunes onto my SONY? Someone help. Thanks!

  • Itunes & sony mp3 player

    Hi to whomever can help me-
    I just bought a mac, but I already had a Sony mp3 player which already has all my music on it. Is it possible to transfer music to it, or is itunes only compatible with ipods?
    thanks!

    Ya you should be able to use it with iTunes just fine. But not automatically like an iPod can.
    One way is if the Sony shows up as a standard drive on the computer (it should right?) you can probably drag and drop tunes directly from the iTunes window onto the Sony. It should make a copy on the Sony. If not, then you can always do it outside of iTunes by simply going into the iTunes folder and drilling down to the songs or albums you want and manually dragging and dropping them into the Sony.
    Just make sure you set up the iTunes preferences for importing to use MP3 files to keep your library compatible with the Sony. By default, after you install iTunes starts set up for importing as AAC files (MPEG4).

  • My Sony mp3 player synced with my iphoto. How do I unsync it? It no longer shows up as a device in my Finder window.

    I plugged my Sony mp3 player into my mac mini, Snow Leopard, and it synced with my iphoto. Now it does not show up as a device anywhere, not even iphoto. When I plug in the mp3 via its usb, it opens iphoto. How do I stop this and get it back as a device in my Finder window so I can load songs on it again.

    Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.

  • How can I get Itunes songs to my mp3 player (Sony Sonic Stage)?

    I've browsed through the forums and it seems a lot of people want to export Sonic Stage files to Itunes!
    I want the opposite. I just bought 100 songs from Itunes and can't get the m4a format changed in the Itunes advanced setting and I can't import the songs into my mp3 player (Sony Sonic Stage) because the files don't appear as part of my folder when searching (even though I'm looking for "all files").
    I tried the Windows explorer to drag and drop from the Itunes folder to my mp3 player (it is flash based but loaded through the software SonicStage)and it didn't work.
    I REALLY don't want to burn all of the new tracks to a CD to try to transfer them all back onto my mp3 player. Am I missing something really simple or is this a compatability flaw? I won't buy any more songs if it's the case but your assistance is GREATLY appreciated

  • I have an ipod and Itunes account, how do I add my daughters new Sony mp3 player so we can purchase music?

    Home sharing only allows you to stream content from a computer's iTunes to an iOS device or another computer (and to copy from the computer to another computer), you can't use it to copy items to an iOS device.
    If the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, and for music (if you are in a country where music purchases can be redownloaded and they are still in the store) then you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Or you can copy them from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option and then sync them to your iPad.

  • TS1490 will iTunes work with a COBY mp3 player?

    will iTunes work with a COBY mp3 player?

    iTunes will only manage the content on Apple branded devices.
    For a 3rd party product use the tools that came with it, Windows Media Player or Windows Explorer. I used to use SyncToy with my iRiver H140 to copy over the compatible files from the music folder of my library into the device.
    If you decide to use Windows Media Player read this post first.

  • I can't access some of my songs on iTunes with my Sonos wireless player.

    I can't access some of my songs on iTunes with my Sonos wireless player.  Sonos help says this is due to propriatary rules from iTunes that were eliminated after 2009 and there may be some upgrade possible, but iTunes is singularly unhelpful finding anything related to this issue.

  • Software conflict between iPhoto and Sony MP3 player

    I am experiencing a major software conflict between iPhoto and my Sony MP3 player (model: NWZ-E443). In the past, whenever I connect the MP3 to my 2009 MacBook Pro, iPhoto always opened. I would simply close iPhoto and everything would be OK, though. But after upgrading iPhoto a few months ago via an upgrade download I am now unable to view images full-screen. Although thumbnails display OK, when I double-click on any of them to display full-screen, the MP3's 'Do Not Disconnect' image displays full-screen instead, even when the MP3 is not connected.
    I have tried reinstalling iPhoto from the original iLife disc, but this didn't work and my fear is that the Sony software has somehow corrupted every image single file in my library.

    Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.
