There's software at:

Let me know if you have any problems with it.

As Grzegorz said, to be able to download songs to the device, you need both
the ATRAC codec and to be able to reverse engineer the MagicGate
authentication scheme, so currently that is still not supported by gnetmd.
Sony don't release drivers for anything besides Windows unfortunately, and
when you ask for technical details from them, they just tell you that all
you get is the manual.

HTH,
Pete
