I'll try adjusting it to see what happens.44 cool gadgets: Our pick of the best new tech for 2023 It may or may not be connected to the firewall on my PC security, although I had no alerts from the security programme on either PC when installing Music Centre for PC. That is, Music Centre for PC remains inert, with no spinning blue Windows circle showing any activity taking place.Īs far as I can see, my operating systems are both compliant with what is shown as required on the link. I've tried using 'menu - file - import folder' which should then display my music folders stored in 'Windows - My Music' but nothing happens. This happens whether the Walkman is connected or not. On the laptop, Music Centre for PC opens, displays a message reading 'loading' before then displaying a message reading 'contents not found'. My laptop is shown as Windows 10 Home 2019. My PC is shown as Windows 7 Home SP1 2009 and Music Centre for PC opens, displays music I've previously imported but when connecting the Walkman and using the 'apply properties' option, the programme runs but crashes after 4 - 5 minutes of doing so.įor Windows 10, I need Home / Pro (April 2018 Update (version 1803) or later). I've checked the link and found that for Windows 7, I need SP1 or later. With the newer NW-A45 this is not possible - the player requires properties to be added via the programme before the SenseMe function will work correctly.ĭoes anyone have any advice on how I'm able to get Music Centre for PC working correctly using on either of my two PC's? With an older Sony NWZ-A15 Walkman, the SenseMe analysis is carried out on the device itself which negates the need for acquiring properties on either Media Go or Music Centre for PC. This isn't really very realistic - I mean how many PC's do you think I can afford? I've been in touch with Sony customer services and the 'solution' is to 'try installing Music Centre for PC on another Windows 10 PC'. I then receive a Windows error message reminding me that the programme has stopped working correctly. On Windows 7, the programme opens and I'm able to use it to acquire the properties needed to use SenseMe before the programme itself regularly crashes after 4- 5 minutes.

I've uninstalled/re-installed the programme both with and without PC restarts and the problem remains - 'contents not found'. I've found that I can copy and paste files onto the Walkman via Windows, but the files are loaded without the properties needed to use the SenseMe function on the device correctly. I'm therefore unable to load music into my Walkman using the programme. I've used the 'menu - import folder' option in an attempt to load music files and nothing happens. On Windows 10, the programme opens with a message reading 'contents not found'. I own a Sony Walkman NW-A45 and have installed Sony's Music Centre for PC on two PC's - one running Windows 10 and the other running Windows 7.
