You can directly transfer data by drag-and-drop using Windows Explorer on your computer.
Hint

- Some WMV files can be played back only by transferring using Windows Media Player.

1. Connect your “WALKMAN” and your computer using the USB cable (supplied) with mark facing up.

1. Click [start] – [My Computer] or [Computer] – [WALKMAN] – [Storage Media], and then select the [MUSIC], [VIDEO], [PICTURE], [PICTURES], [DCIM] or [PODCASTS] folder.

Data hierarchy may differ, depending on your computer environment.

1. Drag-and-drop files or folders () into the [MUSIC], [VIDEO], [PICTURE], [PICTURES], [DCIM] or [PODCASTS] folder (), or one of their subfolders.

#### About data hierarchy

Drag and drop files or folders into the correct folder as shown in the following illustrations.
Your “WALKMAN” can play back songs/videos/photos on the 1st to 8th level of each folder, and can play back podcast episodes on the 2nd level of the [PODCASTS] folder.
Note

- Do not change folder names or delete the [MUSIC], [MP_ROOT], [MPE_ROOT], [VIDEO], [DCIM], [PICTURE], [PICTURES], [PODCASTS], [RECORD] and [VOICE] folders.

- Do not change folder or file names directly under the [MP_ROOT] or [MPE_ROOT] folders. Otherwise, they will not be displayed on your “WALKMAN.”

- Some files may not be played back on your “WALKMAN” due to copyright protection.
