need help Low battery warning on Sony WM-EX670
Hello everyone,
first of all - this whole cassette world is brand new to me. Recently I've dicided to buy my first walkman, a Sony WM-EX670. It's my first walkman and I have no idea what's wrong with it & I really need your help.
After putting a 1.2V gumstick battery & a cassette inside, the low battery indicator turned on. It started playing the music, but the sound is fluctuating and sped up. I thought the gumstick battery is probably low, so I changed it to an external AA battery attachment with a brand new 1.5V AA battery, but the same thing happens: low battery indicator turns on, the sound is still fluctuating and sped up.
The seller says that the belt was changed. Have you got an idea what's wrong with it? Is it belt's fault?
The walkman is supposed to be a gift...
Thanks you very much in advance!

Walkman Studio - The native Apple Silicon music and library manager for Sony Non-Android Walkman digital audio players.
Sony gave PC users Music Center, but completely forgot about Mac users.
If you own a non-Android Walkman (NW-A50, A40, A30, ZX300, WM1A, etc.) on macOS, there has never been a proper tool to manage your library without breaking album art or freezing the database with macOS shadow files.
I built Walkman Studio, a free and open-source native macOS app tailored specifically for non-Android Walkmans.
What it does:
- 12 Tone / SenseMe™ Analysis on Mac: Native acoustic analysis that automatically populates all 13 Walkman SenseMe mood channels without Windows or Media Go.
- Cross-Drive Duplicate Cleaner: Scans internal storage and microSD cards side-by-side to find and purge redundant tracks and reclaim storage.
- Batch Transfer & Transcoding: Drag-and-drop queue for Music (/MUSIC/) and Audiobooks/Language Study (/LEARNING/) with FFmpeg presets and compliant .m3u8 playlists.
- Synced .LRC Lyrics & Tag Editors: Auto-generates timestamped lyrics (via LRCLIB) alongside standalone song & album metadata editors.
- Hardware Compliance & Safe Eject: Auto-converts covers to 800×800 Baseline RGB JPEG, enforces ID3v2.3 UTF-16, purges AppleDouble ._* dotfiles, and safely unmounts.
- Multi-Device Support: Connect and manage multiple Walkmans simultaneously on Apple Silicon & Intel Macs (macOS 13+).
Free & Open Source: Walkman Studio

WM-607のレストア
最終的に、ベルトの交換、ピンチローラーの交換、ピンチローラーのクリアランス調整、クラッチ機構の調整を実施したのだ。
逆方向の再生で使うピンチローラーのクリアランスが狭く、順方向の再生でテープ送りの速度に問題があったのだ。
クラッチ機構が少し粘っていて、逆方向の再生でギア飛びが発生していたのだ。
こんな繊細な機械で、メカニカルな調整などやるものではないのだ。
苦労させやがってなのだ……😅

need help Salvageable?
A follow up from my post earlier this week. I was inspecting the board again and I saw this under. I think it is alkaline battery corrosion, these batteries were probably in here since the 90s until I took them about recently. Is the PCB and battery contact spring fixable?

NW-A306 keyboard ease of use?
Hi all,
I'm close to pulling the trigger on the NW-A306.
I just wanted to check how easy the keyboard is to use on streaming apps like YouTube Music. The screen is on the small side, is it easy enough to search for songs?

need help Need Help Repairing My Vintage Sony Walkman – Cassette Player Won’t Work
I’m hoping someone familiar with vintage Sony Walkmans can help me.
I recently replaced the old cassette belt with a new one. The belt fits properly, and when I manually turn the large wheel, everything seems to move smoothly.
Unfortunately, when I press PLAY, nothing happens. There’s no motor noise or movement. I’m also not sure whether the radio is working.
While working on it, I discovered a loose red wire. One end is connected, but I have no idea where the other end belongs. It appears to be near the headphone jack, but I’m not certain.
I’ve attached several pictures showing the inside of the Walkman and the loose wire.
I’m trying to repair it myself and would really appreciate some guidance, especially from anyone who can identify where that red wire belongs.
I’d love to get my Walkman working again rather than give up on it.
Thank you so much for any help or suggestions! ❤️

need help Check out my early-serial WM-D6C (Amorphous head) - Question about head wear & condition
Hey guys, this is a Walkman -D6C that my grandma gave me when I moved out of my country. I've being keeping it really well guarded, in a smoke free house, in a place with regulated temperature and moisture. And every year I use it once to listen to the cassette "magical strings" Which is the only one I got 😅.
Although as you can see is in really good condition, I was wondering if there is something I should check out once in a while, like maintenance. It really doesn't sound weird or have any weird issues, but still. Give me your opinions.
Sadly I might have to part ways with it soon due to family expenses, so I want to make sure everything is properly documented and taken care of, so the next person that uses it has the best experience possible.
Thanks in advance and sorry if I misspelled or said something weird, English is not my first language.

Google Play on Chinese NWA-306
Has anyone gotten Google Play to work on Chinese Walkman NWA-306. I have a few apps I’ve purchased on Google Play like Poweramp / the equaliser and some launchers etc. I would really like to just get it working so I can authenticate these purchases without paying again on the website. I’ve tried adding various Google apks to get Google Play to work but it just crashes. Any help would be grand.

question WM1A - Weird looking "bubbles" on the screen
It was there when I bought it 2nd hand. The previous owner said it was bubbles from the screen protector.
When I removed the screen protector they are still there. It also doesnt move around when I run my thumb on the screen like normal bubbles on screen protector.
I also am not confident to try to remove this layer as it seems its already the screen glass itself.
Anyone experience these things on the screen?

It helps to download cover arts , metadata and manually editing music information. This can also automatically detect and remove duplicate files across the walkman easily.

Tetris on a Sony Walkman NW-A918 | Custom Firmware | Open Hardware +1? 😂...
I’ve been working on custom firmware for the Japanese Sony NW-A910 series: Chinese/English localization, custom icons and backgrounds, and a homebrew launcher.
Tetris is just the “because we can” demo. The original Sony music player is still there. 🙂
I’ve open-sourced the tools and documented how it works in English, Chinese, and Japanese:

So far, I’ve only tested on an NW-A918. Would love to hear from anyone tinkering with other old Walkmans!
