Sorry to have to tell you, but it's impossible. The sony walkman uses the OMG/OMA audo codec, which is closed source. Yell at sony if you want, I've tried it, but my reply was a press of the delete button.  Sony don't even hold the source code for it - a company called Sonic porgraammed it for them.

Yep. The MG means nothing - they just put it there for effect (I think), as you just pointed out. They say it means OpenMG, but I reon it's just OGG vorbis with a few modifications dues to the name.
