Enjoy Apple Music Songs on Sony Walkman with Android Based Walkman Models
As the legendary music player brand, there is no doubt that Sony Walkman is one of most popular and best MP3 players to enjoy music files in MP3, M4A or WAV format. Sony Walkman is also famous for its high audio quality. Apple Music is one of the best streaming music services, it's not strange that many people may want to enjoy Apple Music songs on Sony Walkman. However, the biggest problem is that you can't play Apple Music songs on Sony Walkman, considering the fact that Apple's MP3 players including iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle can't play Apple Music songs either.
Things had changed after September 2019. Sony released NW-ZX507 and NW-A105 which came with Android 9.0 OS and Wi-Fi support. So if you have subscribed Apple Music and you want to enjoy Apple Music songs on Sony Walkman, you can purchase an Android based Walkman model to reach the goal. Walkman NW-ZX507 and NW-A105 are only earlier streaming compatible models. Recently, Sony released NW-A300 and NW-ZX700 which comes with stunning good-looking appearance, better battery, more powerful features and latest Android 12 OS.
With streaming Walkman model like NW-ZX700, NW-A300, NW-ZX507 or W-A105, as well as an Apple Music subscription, you can install Apple Music app from Google Play, sign in your Apple ID, then download Apple Music songs under Wi-Fi connection and enjoy the downloaded songs offline. However, Walkman NW-ZX700, NW-A300, NW-ZX507 or W-A105 are not smart phones, so you can't use mobile data to enjoy or download Apple Music songs when you don't have a WiFi connection and you can only play the downloaded offline songs. If you are carrying a mobile phone and you have enough mobile data, you can also use mobile phone as hotspot for Sony Walkman.
If you have an old Walkman model which is incompatible with Apple Music, what will you do? Put it in your drawer and buy a new streaming compatible Walkman modle, or find a more reasonable solution like an Apple Music converter to convert Apple Music songs to MP3, M4A or WAV which can be played on Walkman?
