Del Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Does anyone know if you can use this new NWZ-A720/820 series player on a Mac? I am in the marker for a new computer and a new player...but I want to get away from the windows playform and upgrade to a Mac...but I do not like the ipod.

0 Del Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) I just verified this info with Sony Support for a second time and they assured me this player is NOT compatible with the Mac OS system. You can use itunes to sync, but it has to be on a Windows based OS with Windows XP SP2 or higher. Unless someone knows something that they don't???? If someone out there has actually tried it on a Mac, I would be curious to know the results. Edited June 17, 2008 by Del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone out there has actually tried it on a Mac, I would be curious to know the results.Sony support are useless.The NWZ series are USB mass storage device, thus will work with any OS (Mac, Linux, Windows, etc). You transfer the music via drag-n-drop. The device will show just like an external USB drive.However, you cannot sync with iTunes, unless you install 3rd party apple scripts/plugins That allow iTunes to "sync" with mass storage devices. iTunes will only sync with iPods natively. You can still use iTunes as your jukebox, and to transfer the music, just drag-n-drop the tracks you want to the device in Finder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 aafuss Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yes-you can drag and drop from iTunes onto a Finder window-if you have iTunes coverart with your song, it may be shown on the Walkman (it does on my A815). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
