Sony Music Center 2.7.1

Sony Music Center 是 Sony 官方推出的 Windows 音樂管理與播放軟體，2017 年起取代舊有的 Media Go，定位上專注於音訊內容，不再處理影片或照片。它主要解決 Sony 裝置用戶整理音樂庫、播放高解析度音檔，以及將音樂傳輸到 Walkman 或家用音響等相容裝置的需求。最具辨識度的特色在於支援 FLAC、DSD、MQA 等高解析音訊格式，能發揮 Sony 自家硬體的播放潛力。這套軟體自 2021 年起持續有版本更新，近一年內也維持維護，不過在音訊軟體分類中屬於小眾工具，評分人數不多，評價僅供參考。

這套軟體最適合擁有 Sony Walkman 或 Sony 家用音響系統的用戶，尤其是手上有大量高解析音檔、需要穩定傳輸與管理音樂庫的人。與同分類的 Virtual DJ 或 iTunes 相比，Sony Music Center 的優勢在於與自家裝置的整合度，但功能面較為單一，不適合需要影片管理或進階混音功能的場合。它為免費軟體，僅提供英文介面，Windows 用戶下載前需留意沒有中文版；若你沒有 Sony 裝置，替代軟體在通用性上可能更實際。
