Note: Copyright-protection may prevent content from being copied, modified or transferred. If a file is copyright-protected, or if an access key has expired or is unavailable, an icon is displayed at the file name.

Select Media player > Music. The first time you open Music, tap the Update button, or select More > Update music with the flip closed, to search the phone memory and the Memory Stick for sound files. This process may take a while, especially if you have a high capacity

Memory Stick with a lot of sound files. You can select if this update should be performed automatically each time you open the Media player, or if you want to do it manually. If you select to do it manually, the command Update will be available as a button and in the menu. You can also select which types of sound files an update should search for. See Preferences on page 73.

All tracks, including those that do not contain any album or artist information, can be found under Tracks.

My recordings contain clips that you have recorded with Sound recorder. To further organize your music files, you can create Playlists.

Playlists

A playlist is simply a list of links to some of your music files, and it describes which songs to play and in which order. This also means that when you remove a track from a playlist, the sound file itself is not deleted.

A playlist can contain links to tracks both in the phone and on a Memory Stick, and you can add a track to more than one playlist.
