Features

Media Go is designed to make managing multimedia content as easy and intuitive as possible. It features a simple library-based user interface that allows users to quickly find, access, and transfer content to and from their devices.

Media Go offers a variety of features to help users manage their media content. These include:

- Manage: Media Go allows users to organize their music, videos, photos, and podcasts into a personal library with playlists and photo albums. It also allows users to sync content between their devices and computers.

- Search: Media Go lets users browse and search the library by artist, album, genre, and other properties. It can also fetch missing album artwork and track information online.

- Transfer: Media Go allows users to transfer media content between their devices and computers by drag and drop. It supports common file formats, including MP3, WMA, and JPEG.

- Purchase: Media Go used to give access to online stores such as the PlayStation Store and, for Xperia devices, PlayNow. The PlayStation Store section was removed in 2014.

- Playback: Media Go plays audio and video files on the PC and includes SensMe channels, which group music by mood and tempo.

- CD ripping: Media Go can rip audio CDs and automatically retrieve album, artist, and track information through Gracenote.

- Tools: The Tools menu offers album artwork retrieval, missing property lookup, an error log, and functions to combine, trim, and convert files.

- Network: Media Go can act as a DLNA server, sharing the media library with other devices on the home network.

- Podcasts: Users can subscribe to podcasts from the File menu and download episodes into the library.
