Enjoy Amazon Music on Sony Walkman

By Rodney Anderson on August 13, 2022

When talking about MP3 player or portable music player, there are so many brands and manufactures you may be confused with which one to buy. However, if audio quality is what you concerned, probably Sony Walkman will be recommended to you because Sony Walkman is famous for its high-resolution support and excellent listening experience. It's not an exaggeration to say that many people have reached a consensus that in terms of audio quality, Sony Walkman is the best portable music player.

If you are an Amazon lover, you may have purchased some MP3 songs from Amazon. However, nowadays, Amazon Music is much more popular than Amazon digital music download because users can listen to millions of songs by paying a monthly or annual fee which costs much less than buying Amazon MP3 songs or albums. Here comes a question. If we are using Amazon Music app, can we play the songs on Sony Walkman?

The answer is it depends on your Walkman model. If we purchase MP3 songs from Amazon, it's no doubt that we can copy the songs to all Walkman models and enjoy on the go. If you are using Amazon Music service like Amazon Music Prime or Amazon Music Unlimited, only a few models of Walkman, like NW-WM1ZM2 and NW-WM1AM2, are running Android 11 and Amazon Music app can be installed. As to other models, most of them come with Walkman's custom OS which is not compatible with any streaming music services.

To enjoy Amazon Music to all Sony Walkman models, the best solution is to convert Amazon Music songs to MP3/M4A for Walkman.

In this article, we will introduce current status of Walkman models, AudGeek AmaziTune Converter which can easily convert Amazon Music songs, albums and playlists to MP3/M4A for offline playback on Walkman as well as how to transfer MP3 files to Walkman.

Amazon Music is one of the most popular streaming music services, and Sony Walkman is the best portable music player. When streaming music services meet Sony Walkman, what it will be? Actually, Sony doesn't want to fall behind the tide. So far, Sony has released a few models with Android 9/10/11 OS which allows you to install Amazon Music app or other services.

We know that Sony Walkman can't play DRM protected audio files unless you are using streaming music app on specific models we mentioned above. For those Walkman models with Amazon Music app support, you should be aware of that the downloaded songs can be only played within Amazon Music app. Unlike Amazon MP3 songs or other plain audio files, the songs in Amazon Music app can't be used by other apps on Walkman.

As all Walkman models support MP3, we highly recommend you use MP3 as output format. Or you can choose M4A, FLAC or WAV if necessary, but it's recommended to check specifications manually first.

Part 4. Transfer Purchased or Converted Amazon MP3 Songs to Walkman for Offline Playback

There is nothing different between MP3 songs converted from Amazon Music and purchased Amazon MP3 songs. If necessary, you can transfer all of them or selected songs to your Walkman. Transferring songs to Sony Walkman is easy but a little different on Windows and macOS.

Transfer music to Walkman on Windows

On Windows, "Music Center for PC" is the official music management software for transferring songs to Walkman. When you install "Music Center for PC", you can import songs from the "Music" folder on the computer. After installing, launch the manager, click "Import from computer" in the left pane to import songs from "Music" folder or your selected folder and click "Start Import" to import the songs to Sony Walkman. You can also import content to “Music Center for PC” by dragging and dropping the content from Windows Explorer to the content list.

Transfer music to Walkman on macOS

On macOS, you may either use "Content Transfer" software or drag-and-drop operation to transfer music to Walkman. If you use "Content Transfer" software, you may need to check your Walkman manual. Drag-and-drop operation is much easier. Connected Walkman will be displayed as a portable device, you can open Finder and easily find it in left sidebar, then you will see MUSIC folder in Walkman. Simply drag and drop the output songs to the MUSIC folder. Once the music you want to transfer are displayed in the MUSIC folder, the transfer is complete.
