You may also try the instructions someone set up in the German Ubuntu
Wiki in [1]. Using "Google Translate" you should be able to understand
most of it.

Please pay especially attention to the part with "udev" which explains
how to configure udev that it will set the permissions properly after
connecting your Walkman to the PC.
