  • yes you can, but you need to do a sync the music.
  • Don't think so. You can use iTunes for downloads / management I would think, but you will need to drag n drop to your player.

    ah , so you can then...

    Drag and drop from iTunes to .... where?

    Isn't there a basic incompatibility, in that the Sony 'Network Walkman' plays back files in one format, whereas iTunes stores them in another?

    If you have Windows 7 and drag Itunes MP4 songs to a mp3 device it will convert them to WMA.

    If you want to play Itunes Mp4 pop videos on a non mp4 player you can use "Any Video Converter" from filehippo.com

    Why use music software at all? just drag & drop; it's what I do with my Sony.
    I shot a vein in my neck and coughed up a Quaalude.

    I suspect that you have an older Sony that use the "ATRAC" system. I don't think its compatable with other software. Though there is conversion software out there but it is a long time since I used any.
