Starting Sony Ericsson Media Manager
To start Sony Ericsson Media Manager
• Double-click the Sony Ericsson Media Manager icon on the desktop (or click Start/Programs/
Sony Ericsson/Sony Ericsson Media Manager/Sony Ericsson Media Manager).
You can reset Sony Ericsson Media Manager completely during a start-up. Press and hold down Ctrl
+ Shift when you start Sony Ericsson Media Manager. This is useful if the listed computer folders or
the list of connected phones and memory cards are no longer valid.
The Sony Ericsson Media Manager window
The Sony Ericsson Media Manager window is divided into two main areas: the PC pane on the top and the
Phone pane on the bottom. Each pane is divided into two views: the tree view on the left and the list view
on the right.
The top half of the Sony Ericsson Media Manager window allows you to select the source media—music,
CD tracks, photos, videos, and Web feeds (RSS media)—that you want to transfer from your computer to
your phone. Click one of the mode buttons to choose the type of media you want to transfer.
The tree view, located on the left, displays the hard drive(s), CD drives, and any virtual drives, depending
on your selection. Any media found on the drive or network is displayed in the list view, located on
the right.
To refresh the display, click a pane to give it focus, and then press F5.
6 July 2007
Getting started Media Manager
The status bar between the PC and Phone panes displays the name of the selected phone or memory
card and the available space. The progress indicator in the target pane displays the progress of encoding
and transferring files. Sony Ericsson Media Manager keeps track of each phone and memory card that
you have used with the application, so you can choose the device you want to view by choosing it from
the Selected Device drop-down list between the PC and Phone panes:
The bottom half of the Sony Ericsson Media Manager window displays the contents of your phone (or the
selected memory card). You can perform any of the following tasks using this pane:
• Browse the contents of your phone.
• View information about each file.
• Click a column heading to sort your files in ascending or descending order.
• Select files and click the Delete button to remove them from your phone. If you have selected files
on a memory card that is not available, the files are added to a queue and will be deleted the next
time you connect your phone.
• Select a media file and click the Preview button to preview it in the Sony Ericsson Media Manager window.
In the Phone pane, files that have already been transferred are displayed in bright text; files that have not
been transferred are dimmed:
The panes and list views can be sized to your preference by dragging the dividers between them.
Music mode
Browsing your computer for music
In Music mode, the left side of the PC pane displays the folders where you tell the software to look for
music. You can navigate folders and subfolders in the tree view. The right side of the window displays
the contents of the selected folder.
Sony Ericsson Media Manager helps you find music in your My Music folder or another location on your
hard drive. You can click the Add Shortcut button to add folders to the PC pane. The list view of the PC
pane displays the music from the location you specified.
7 July 2007
Getting started Media Manager
Once you have located your music files, you can preview and transfer them to your phone.
When you select a music file, information about the selected track is displayed at the top of the PC pane:
Tips when browsing your computer
• To add files to your phone quickly, drag files from the Windows® Explorer to the Phone pane in the
Sony Ericsson Media Manager window. The transfer will begin when you drop the files.
• If album art is not available, a disc icon is displayed. You can click the disc icon to open your Web
browser and perform an image search. To update the album artwork for all files in the current folder,
drop a graphic file or URL on the image.
• Playlists (.m3u and .wpl exported from Windows® Media Player®) are included in the tree view in the
PC pane. When you select a playlist, its contents are displayed in the list view, and you can transfer
the media files to your phone. If a playlist contains files that are not supported by Sony Ericsson Media
Manager, those files are not displayed.
• If you have media files that are supported by your phone but that the software cannot read, the files
are not displayed until you connect your phone. These files are displayed with a crossed over icon and
are transferred without re-encoding.
• To locate a file on your hard drive, right-click it in the PC pane and choose Explore Containing Folder
from the shortcut menu.
Previewing your music
Using Sony Ericsson Media Manager, you can preview any audio tracks on your computer before you
transfer them to your phone.
To preview your music
1. Click the Music Mode button at the top of the Sony Ericsson Media Manager window.
2. On the right side of the PC pane, select the song you would like to preview.
3. Click the Preview button or double-click the track to preview it in the lower half of the Sony Ericsson
Media Manager window (if Sony Ericsson Media Manager cannot play the file, it will attempt to start
the player associated with the file type).
You can use the transport controls at the bottom of the window to pause, resume, stop playback, skip to
the previous or next track, and adjust the playback volume.
Press and hold down Ctrl and double-click a song to preview it using the application associated with
its file extension.
Transferring music to your phone
After adding folders and previewing your music, you are ready to transfer the files to your phone.
Depending on your phone model, music is transferred to your phone in MP3 or AAC format. Other
formats are automatically re-encoded before transferring. You can choose the encoding setting from
the Target drop-down list.
8 July 2007
Getting started Media Manager
Use the Music page in Settings mode to choose whether you want to encode to MP3 or AAC format and
whether you want to transfer other supported audio formats without re-encoding.
If your audio files contain metadata, the files are transferred to your phone using the artist and album
metadata. For example, d:\my music\The Dorothy Heralds\100 Unnamed Things\05 Synergy.mp3 would
appear on your phone system in Music\The Dorothy Heralds\100 Unnamed Things\Synergy.
If your audio files do not contain metadata (such as artist and album information), the files are transferred
to your phone using the album folder and file name from your PC. For example, d:\my music\Desktop\
05 Gracie.mp3 would appear on your phone in Music\Desktop\05 Gracie — if the file does not contain
metadata, there’s no way to determine the album or track title, so the folder and file name are used instead.
To transfer music to your phone
1. Click the Music Mode button at the top of the Sony Ericsson Media Manager window.
2. On the left side of the PC pane, choose the folder that contains the tracks you want to transfer by
expanding and collapsing folders as necessary. Playlists (.m3u and .wpl) are included in the tree view
in the PC pane.
3. On the right side of the PC pane, select the tracks you would like to transfer. Press and hold down Ctrl
or Shift to select multiple tracks.
4. From the Target drop-down list, choose the bit rate for transferred tracks, or choose Automatic to
allow the software to determine the appropriate bit rate. When you choose Automatic, the software
chooses the standard bit rate that most closely matches the original file’s bit rate. Choosing a lower bit
rate allows you to fit more tracks on your phone by reducing the quality of the transferred files.
Sony Ericsson Media Manager re-encodes the tracks for the transfer.
5. Click the Transfer to Phone button to begin transferring the tracks.
The original audio track on your hard drive will be unaffected by the re-encoding process. Not all
formats are supported by all phones. If your phone is unable to play transferred audio, try using
a different Target setting.
Do not disconnect the USB cable during file transfer as this may harm the phone memory or the
memory card.
Prior to transferring tracks from an audio CD, the files are saved to your hard drive in the computer folder
\My Documents\My Music\<Artist Name>\<Album Name>. You can choose a different folder on the CD
Extract page in Settings mode.
The status bar between the PC and Phone panes displays the space available on selected phone or
memory card and the file size of the selected audio tracks. The status bar adjusts according to the bit
rate you choose, so it is helpful to monitor this information when making your selection:
The selected files are encoded if necessary and transferred to the phone. If your phone is not connected
— or if you have selected a memory card that is not available — the music is added to a queue and will be
transferred the next time you connect your phone.
9 July 2007
Getting started Media Manager
If there is not enough free space available for the selected tracks, a warning message is displayed
indicating that not all files may be transferred. Click the OK button to proceed and transfer the tracks that
will fit on your phone. The remaining files are preserved in the transfer queue and will be transferred the
next time you connect your phone (if you delete files to make room for them). You can also click the
Cancel button.
Shuffle tracks to fill your phone
You can choose to have Sony Ericsson Media Manager select a random collection of tracks from your
music library, shuffle their order, and display them in a Shuffle Results folder. You can then edit the
contents of the Shuffle Results folder before transferring the tracks to your phone or memory card.
Use the Reserve space control on the General Settings page in Settings mode to specify how much of
your phone’s memory you want to make available for saving media files. For example, if you choose 10%
from the Reserve space drop-down list, Sony Ericsson Media Manager can fill all but 10% of the memory
in your phone.
To shuffle tracks to fill your phone
1. Click the Music Mode button at the top of the Sony Ericsson Media Manager window.
2. On the left side of the PC pane, select a folder. Music in the selected folder (and all subfolders) will be
used to shuffle tracks.
3. Click the Shuffle button and choose a command from the menu. Sony Ericsson Media Manager
shuffles and adds a random collection of songs from the selected location to the Shuffle Results
playlist at the bottom of the folder list in the PC pane.
4. Once the tracks are displayed in the Shuffle Results folder, you can sort the list or delete tracks as
desired before transferring them to your phone or memory card.
5. Once you are satisfied with the included tracks, click the Transf er button to begin transferring the
tracks. The selected files are encoded if necessary and transferred to the phone.
The Shuffle button is not available if your phone’s memory is full or if your phone is not connected via
USB.
Audio CD mode
Extracting audio from CD
Sony Ericsson Media Manager allows you to extract tracks from your audio CDs and transfer them to
your phone. The files are saved to your hard drive in the computer folder ..\My Documents\My Music\
<Artist Name>\<Album Name> folder (or ..\Users\<Username>\Music\<Artist Name>\<Album Name> on
Windows® Vista®). You can change the destination folder on the CD Extract page in Settings mode.
Sony Ericsson Media Manager software is not intended and should not be used for illegal or
infringing purposes, such as the illegal copying or sharing of copyrighted materials. Using
Sony Ericsson Media Manager software for such purposes is, among other things, against United
States and international copyright laws and contrary to the terms and conditions of the End User

Synchronization
Sony Ericsson Media Manager keeps track of each memory card that you have used with the application
and synchronizes its files with a folder on your hard drive. Now you can prepare files for transfer even
when you don’t have your phone connected to your computer.
Just choose a phone or memory card from the drop-down list, and you can use the Phone pane to add
or remove photos, music, videos, or feeds. The next time you connect your phone, the memory card will
be updated.
How synchronization works
The synchronization feature keeps track of the contents of each phone or memory card. With
Sony Ericsson Media Manager taking care of your media files, you have a great deal of flexibility in
managing your media.
You can queue media file for transfer to a phone or memory card even if the device is not currently available.
• In the target pane, choose the device where you want to transfer your media.
• If the phone or memory card is not currently available, the file is added to a queue so it can be
transferred the next time you connect your phone with that memory card.
• If you use a separate memory card for your music and videos, for example, you can add or remove
files from each memory card even if your phone is not connected to your computer. Media files will be
encoded as needed, and the contents of each memory card will be updated when you connect your
phone with the memory card.
• If you delete files from a memory card that is not currently available, the files will be removed the next
time you connect your phone.
• If you transfer more content than you can fit on the selected device, only the files that will fit will be
transferred. The remaining files are preserved in the transfer queue and will be transferred the next
time you connect your phone (if you delete files to make room for them).
To synchronize a phone
1. Connect your phone to synchronize.
2. The memory card is synchronized automatically when you start the software or place your phone in
File Transfer mode.
3. The Sync button in the Phone pane will flash when files are ready to be synchronized.
