Sonic Stage was just horrible, so unfriendly, ugly, clunky and extremely buggy. You had to use it with Sony's ATRAC Walkmans(discontinued). Friend of mine actually chucked his Walkman PMP in the bin because of it, We could never make it work properly. You had to convert all your MP3s to ATRAC, and they were wrapped in nasty DRM. There was a music store as well called Sony Connect. That sold DRM'd songs in the Sony only ATRAC format.

It's a good example of a failed Sony proprietary system.

If his Walkman is less than about five years old and not an ATRAC one, he should just be able to drag & drop. Or should be able use normal software like WMP or Winamp, to put his music on it. In fact Sonic Stage won't even work with modern MP3 (non-ATRAC) Walkmans AFAIK.
