How to create LRC files

1. Click [start] [All programs] [Accessories] [Notepad].

2. Type lyrics text into Notepad.

3. Play back the audio file to check the time [minutes:seconds:hundredths of a second] for displaying each text line, then enter the time information to the left of the text line.

• Your Walkman recognizes up to 95 characters to display the text line on the screen.

• Time information must be entered in chronological order.

4. After finishing lyric text input, save it as a file.

Select [File] [Save As…] to open the [Save As] screen. Select [All Files] in the [Save as type:] list at the bottom of the screen. Select [UTF-8] in the [Encode:] list. Enter the file name into the [File name:] text box. The file name must be the same as the audio file, with extension “.lrc”. Click [Save] to save the LRC file.

• The maximum size for an LRC file is 512 KB.

• If a text line cannot fit in the screen, it will be wrapped (up to 3 lines).

• Characters beyond 3 lines will not be displayed.

• Any CR, CRLF and LF is recognized properly.

• A text line that contains only a new line is skipped.

5. Connect your Walkman to your computer using the USB cable (supplied) with the mark facing up.

6. Create a new folder in the [MUSIC] folder of your Walkman, then drag and drop both the audio file and LRC file into the new folder to transfer them.
