A track is duplicated on the Walkman.

A track may be duplicated on the Walkman if you transfer the same track using different transfer methods.

A track may be duplicated for the following reasons.

  • The same track is transferred repeatedly in different formats.
  • The same track is transferred repeatedly with different track information.
  • The same track is transferred repeatedly with different transfer methods (the same track is transferred to different storage folders).

You can delete unnecessary tracks from the Walkman.

Note on using microSD cards

If you are using the Walkman that supports microSD card, you may have transferred the same track to both the Walkman and the microSD card.

Check the tracks on the Walkman and the microSD card to confirm that there are no duplicate tracks.
