Part 1. Why Doesn't Sony Walkman Support Spotify Directly

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. 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.

Spotify never provides an option to download Spotify songs for free. It's necessary to update your account to the Spotify Premium plan to get this function. But 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 for Sony Walkman. An excellent Spotify Music Converter seems a nice option to realize this goal.
