SONY CONNECT SOFTWARE IS SIMPLE !

By CHRIS EASY (27/08/2006)
  • Pros: EASE OF DOWNLOAD , SOUND QUALITY , BATTERY LIFE
  • Cons: SLIGHTLY BULKIER THAN SOME MP3 PLAYERS, LOW QAULITY HEADPHONES.

I have read several reviews where the complexities of Sony Connect software has been a major hurdle for some people in downloading music they have stored on their PC's/laptops in Windows Media Player.
I'm no computer buff , but I found it a breeze by doing the following :
1. Ensure you load up the Connect software correctly.
2. Let Connect upload whatever music you have on your computer ( It only registered 10% of what I had stored)
3. With Connect open , go into the top toolbar & select File.
4. From the dropdown menu , select Import Directory.
5. A window will open with all folders on the computer.
6. Select My Music
7. Allow time for the transfer to take place , depending on size of the file ( 250 CD's took apprx 15 minutes)
8. When complete , you can select whichever CD's you wish to transfer to the device , and click on Add.
It is that simple ! 250 CD's took no longer than 30 minutes in total !

Once I discarded the supplied headphones in favour of a pair that fit , I was in heaven !
