How to Download and Transfer Spotify Music to Sony Walkman

Part 1. Can Sony Walkman Play Spotify?

Sony Walkman is a series of top-end MP3 player models charging for $199.99 to $3,199.99. It's famous for the high-quality listening experience and high-resolution audio compatibility. It supports a wide variety of audio formats, including Apple Lossless (ALAC), FLAC, MP3, M4A, WAV, and so forth. Besides, Sony Walkman comes with large built-in memory and up to 45 hours of battery life. Combined with charming advantages, it is the worthy recommended MP3 player. It brings ultimate music entertainment with long-time playback.

However, why Sony Walkman can't use Spotify officially? First, there is no Sony Walkman Spotify app available to install in the market for some old models. In this case, you can only load music from Spotify to Sony Walkman from a computer via the USB cable. Thus, you should download Spotify songs, playlists, or albums to your computer drive in advance.

But, Spotify never provides an option to download Spotify songs for free. It's necessary to use the Spotify Premium plan to get this function. But even with a premium account, the downloaded Spotify files are encoded in Ogg Vorbis format. Obviously, this special Ogg format is not included in the line of Sony Walkman-supported mainstream audio formats. As a result, you need to change Spotify to MP3 or other formats for Sony Walkman.
