Unlike those, Music Center for PC only focuses on audio and as a result it has had several features removed,[1] such as CD burning, or non-audio media functionalities like photo or video playback and transfer.

[3] It is also not compatible for transfer with phones or consoles, but only with audio devices like Walkman,[4] home stereos and theater systems, active speakers, and others.

[1] Version 2.0 was released in late 2018 and had a major overhaul of the user interface[6] developed on Electron.

[8] Music Center for PC supports the playback of numerous formats including high-resolution audio, namely: ATRAC (.oma/.aa3), ATRAC Advanced Lossless (.oma/.aa3), WAV (.wav), MP3 (.mp3), AAC (.3gp/.mp4/.m4a), HE-AAC (.3gp/.mp4/.m4a), WMA (.wma), DSD (.dsf/.dff), FLAC (.flac), MQA (.mqa.flac), APE (.ape), ALAC (.mp4/.m4a) and AIFF (.aiff/.aif).

[9] It can also play audio CDs, but ripping a CD is only possible into FLAC, WAV, MP3 or AAC formats.
