Using a Sony Walkman with Rhythmbox Music Player

Asked by colingking

In the very helpful answers in the community I could not find the following problem addressed:

When I try to copy music to my Sony Walkman MP3 Player in Rhythmbox, the icon just slips from the window - and I cannot copy a single file. I read in another forum that a Java application may be necessary to get the Sony Walkman to work in non-Windows OS, and so I assume that will be the case with Ubuntu. - Can anyone help?

In a shell I entered:

lsusb; mount; sudo fdisk -l

And this is what I got:
