Well it's a sony, so most likely it uses atrac as it's internal format,
almost certainly doesn't behave as a usb-storage device, no matter what
is inside.  Now maybe if you could take the memory out and put it in a
reader you could get at the filesystem (if it has one), but it would
still most likely be in a file format you have no way to work with.

What does lsusb show for it with various levels of verbosity?
