A:AnswerSome people connect AirPods to Android phones/devices. I suppose this will be the same process since it runs Android 12, but Android 12 is also older. I thin Android 16 is out now. I used it with Sony XM5s.
A:AnswerHi MG,
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, you can use Windows Media Player to transfer music from your computer to your Walkman. We do have good information and instructional video on how to create and transfer playlist to your Walkman using Microsoft Windows Media Player. Please check these links.

Note: If unsuccessful, use Music Center to create and transfer playlists to your walkman.
Additional information:
With the help of Music Center for PC on your Windows computer, you will be able to transfer music from your CD collection or music content that is stored on a Windows computer to the player. To transfer music content stored on a Mac computer, you need to install additional software. An example of additional software is Android File Transfer. For more details, refer to the link below.

A:AnswerHi Mark562,
Thanks for reaching out to us. We can't guarantee that the NW-A306 Walkman will directly integrate or accept edited information from Windows Media Player for library updates. This player creates a database in the music player playback to store and manage music library information (artist, album, track titles, etc.). As an alternative, you can transfer the edited lecture files (MP3 or other supported format) from your computer to the player using drag-and-drop method or via Music Center for PC.
Be sure to review the links (resources) below, as it tells you how to transfer content from a Windows computer using Music Center for PC as well as create and transfer playlist to your Walkman using Microsoft Windows Media Player.

By trying one of these methods, you should be able to transfer your wife's lecture CDs with the edited information onto the Sony NW-A306 Walkman. The Walkman will then display the proper artist, album, and track titles for the lectures. Hope this helps.

A:AnswerHi Blue,
Thank you for your question. We can't guarantee that a USB to Ethernet Adapter would work. While the NW-A306 Walkman uses USB Type-C for charging and file transfer, it's not designed for wired network connections. Wi-Fi connectivity provides a good alternative for internet access on this unit for direct download and music streaming.
Supported by Android and compatible with Wi-Fi, the NW-A300 series offers you even more ways to listen to your music. Enjoy your favorite streaming and music apps right on your Walkman or connect to a PC to access your music collection.
Regards,
Jess
A:AnswerHi Buzz,
Thanks for your inquiry. The NW-A306 walkman is Bluetooth compatible. The Bluetooth function enables wireless connections between devices and allowing you to connect them to your car's audio system wirelessly as well. Unfortunately, you cannot install apps that uses camera or call functions from Google Play Store, such as Android Auto.
The NW-A306 does not have a built-in AM/FM tuner. It is preloaded with Android 12. It will have all the essential apps that Android 12 provides and you can download and install third-party apps through the Google Play store. We recommend checking the Google Play Store for compatible AM/FM radio apps and see if they can be installed on your device. We don't guarantee the operation of third-party apps.
With NW-A306, you can enjoy a higher quality sound with various codecs and sound processing technology that give you more ways to enjoy your music. Supported by Android and compatible with Wi-Fi, the NW-A306 offers you even more ways to listen to your music. Hope this helps! -Jess
