Notes
• If there is already a version of “SonicStage” software installed on the computer that is newer than the
version supplied with the player, the functions may differ from those described here. For details, use the
online help of your “SonicStage” version.
• MP3, WMA, and WAV files will be converted to ATRAC3 or ATRAC3plus.

Getting music from a CD
Use the “SonicStage” software, which you can install from the supplied CD-ROM, to save the
music tracks of a CD to your computer and transfer music files to the player.
Begin by importing the contents of the music CD into “SonicStage”. This procedure will save the
music tracks to the “My Library” folder.
Next, connect the player to the computer via the cradle. The player is recognized in “SonicStage” as
an “ATRAC HDD”, and you can select it as the transfer destination for music tracks from the “My
Library” folder. Select the music tracks you want to transfer from the “My Library” folder, and
transfer them to the player.

player, use the “VAIO music transfer” software.
To transfer existing music files, connect the player to the computer using the cradle, start the
“VAIO music transfer” software, and drag the music files you want to transfer to the main “VAIO
music transfer” window from a folder window or from Windows Explorer.
