MP3 File Manager Version 2.0

MP3 File Manager Version 2.0 program is applicable for users with NW-E103/E105/E403/E405/E407/E503/E505/E507. The utility provides the functionality of simple MP3 files transfer via drag and drop to the Network Walkman. The best things about this utility:

--> Installs onto the device itself - the MP3 File Manager Version 2.0 does not reside in your system but the device itself.

--> SonicStage is not a prerequisite to utilize the utility - this means that you do not need to install SonicStage on the host system.

*notable drawback = does not support unicode.

Have fun!

A Nifty Trick from a fellow TR World member:

Here's one other trick that's kind of nice -- you can create an AUTORUN.INF file in the root directory of the device and it will automatically launch the MP3 File Manager every time you attach it to a PC.  Simply create a text file called AUTORUN.INF with the following entries...

[autorun]
open=MP3FM\MP3FileManager.exe
icon=MP3FM\MP3FileManager.exe
[/code]
This works because Windows sees the NW-E507 as removable media, and parses the autorun file when you connect the device to a PC.

This works on my HD1! It is a nifty little program. A couple of things I have noticed is that if you just drag the mp3's over it will put them in the nearest folder. For organizational purposes I would recommend dragging over the mp3 in folders. I also wish there was id3 tagging support in the software.

Anyway thanks for the program and info.

That's brilliant. Thus far, we can confirm that this utility will work with the NW-HDx and NW-E10x/40x/50x series.

This utility will not work with Hi-MD units. It’s a Network Walkman exclusive.

Just installed the software on my HD5 and uploaded some files. With every file I get a long line of UUUUUUUUUUUU for album, artist, track title, and Bebon for genre Interesting... probably malfunctioned a bit cause I was pulling files from the HD5's storage area into the audio block.

Launched the app and I was quite shocked to see folders arranged by upload, ie. files uploaded together are in the same folder, no matter how many ID3 tag edits they go through afterwards. So group/album is still the basis of Sony's file management... the artist/genre/playlist are just metaphors like, well, the desktop.

I remember this app started life on Sony's first MP3-native flash players (the mid-life revision of the E75/95 etc for Europe/Japan that added native MP3 playback). Good to see it's still available... very attractive app for an E107 *drool*

You get the UUUUUU if the mp3's aren't tagged.
