Walkman NW-A45

[sonrac21]

Will Sony NW A45 Walkman only accept Sony SD cards. I’m trying to use a Samsung 64 gb SD card but it doesn’t recognise the tracks. It has been formatted. 

[Marino.Manolo]

No, it can also accept other brands.

If the inserted microSD card contains a large amount of data, it may take about 10 minutes or longer for the Walkman to update the database.

The Walkman does not recognize a microSD card.

Walkman only can play FAT32 formatted cards is it? or NTFS?

[sonrac21]

sorry that's still not working.

[sonrac21]

It shows as default ex FAT and will only allow me to change it to NTFS

[Sonyvores]

keep it as exfat and format it with the walkman then it should be good

[sonrac21]

Unfortunately I’ve tried that and it still isn’t working.
