Alternatives

MP3 File Manager

Sony offers the MP3 File Manager for Network Walkmans as a very limited alternative to SonicStage. It only provides a simple drag-and-drop interface and is lacking many of the newer, more advanced features of SonicStage (such as the ability to transfer files back to your computer).

The application is intended to be installed on the Network Walkman itself.Although it can be run directly on the device, it is not truly a portable application because it requires that the driver [http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=NWE405&upd_id=1937&os_id=6,4,16,7,3] be installed on the computer.

The most recent version (2.0) can be downloaded from [http://www.sonydigital-link.com/DNA/downloads/downloads.asp?l=en&ct=NWF&f=MP3FM20 here] or [http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?template=&upd_id=1936&os_id=3,4,6,7,16&mdl=NWE405 here] .There is also an older version (1.2) for older Network Walkmans available [http://www.sonydigital-link.com/DNA/downloads/downloads.asp?l=en&ct=NWF&f=MP3FM12 here] .

VAIO Music Transfer

As mentioned this forum [http://ipastudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1385 post] , the [http://www.vaio-link.com/Vaiopocket/downloads/downloads.asp?l=en&f=VMTU VAIO Music Transfer software] allows files to be dragged and dropped onto the player. It may still require SonicStage to be installed.

It works with the NW-A700-series, NW-E00XF-series players as well as the NW-HD1 and NW-HD3.

Third party alternatives
