About the Compatible

Software

Windows Media Player 11

Windows Media Player can import audio data from CDs and transfer data to the player. When you use

copyright protected WMA audio files, use this software.

Since Windows Media Player 11 does not analyze the sound patterns of songs while transferring,

ZAPPIN effectiveness will not be optimal because the most melodic or rhythmical song passages will

not be recognized.

Windows Media Player 11 is not included with the player.

Transferable files: Music (MP3, WMA, LPCM)

You can download Windows Media Player 11 from “My Computer” – “WALKMAN NWZ-W202” –

“Storage Media” – “PC_Application_Software” – “WMP11_Download” after connecting the player to

the computer by using the supplied stand. You can also download Windows Media Player 11 from the

following website.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp

For details on operation, refer to the Help of the software or visit the following website.

http://www.support.microsoft.com/

Content Transfer

Content Transfer can transfer music from a computer to the player by a simple drag-and-drop operation.

You can use Windows Explorer or iTunes to drag and drop data to Content Transfer.

If you transfer songs using Content Transfer, the most melodic and rhythmical song passages will be

recognized by the 12 TONE ANALYSIS function for use with ZAPPIN playback.

However, the 12 TONE ANALYSIS takes time, so transfer will be slower. You can set the 12 TONE

ANALYSIS to “Automatic,” “Always ON” or “OFF” before transferring. To transfer songs more quickly,

set to “OFF.”

For details on operation, refer to the Help of the software.

Transferable files: Music (MP3, WMA, AAC*

, WAV*

This format file is not analyzed by the 12 TONE ANALYSIS while transferring. So, the most melodic

and rhythmical section of the song will not be recognized.
