The important thing to remember is that the music files cannot have DRM. The ereader will accept MP3 files or Apple iTunes AAC files as long as they are DRM-free. Audiobooks that you get from Project Gutenberg should be fine. Just save them to your computer hard-drive. Your ereader will show as a separate drive in Windows Explorer when connected via USB. Just drag and drop the music files from your hard-drive to the MUSIC folder as SeaBookGuy mentioned. I don't have my 505 near me at the moment, but I think the file path is something like database/media/music on your ereader. If you are using the Sony Reader Library software, then you can drag and drop the music file from your hard-drive in Windows Explorer onto your ereader icon in the left-hand column of Reader Library, and it puts them into the correct folder for you.
By the way, you can transfer photos using the same methods. Just drag and drop into the PICTURES folder instead of music. Or drag and drop your photos into the Sony software as described above. Hope that helps!
