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*1, WAV*2) *1 DRM files are not compatible. *2 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.

Content Transfer (1)
This software is included with the player.
To play back the most melodic and rhythmical song clips
When you transfer songs using Content Transfer software with the 12 TONE ANALYSIS set to “Automatic” or “Always ON,” the information of the most recognizable sections based on melody and rhythm will be found and added to each song. Then, the most melodic and rhythmical clips from each song can be played back sequentially during ZAPPIN playback. Content Transfer is included with the player. For details on how to install Content Transfer, see  “Installing Content Transfer” on the reverse side.

If you rename the files or folders on the player, the playback order of the songs can be changed. However, the renamed files or folders on the player are recognized as different from those of the original name, so the files or folders of the original name are transferred to the player again.
