Sony Walkman NWZ-B135F drag and drop

Oct 2, 2008 2:04PM PDT

When I connect this to my computer, it is not listed as a drive. It connects automatically in MTP mode. I cannot drag and drop files to it. And there is no place to change to MSC mode. But it is touted as a drag and drop device. Any help would be appreciated.

Sony drag 'n not drop

There may be an option within the Sony's menus to switch the mode. There is on my LG M37 player.

Failing that make sure you don't use Windows Media Player (or at least see what options exist within WMP for changing mode).

Do yourself a favour and use MediaMonkey (it's free!), gives you all the features of iTunes but works with the Sony.
When you get it working, tell me if the playback occasionally 'stutters', like it pauses for a fraction. Got this problem with mine but it may be generic to the design!
