Apologies for the late response. I have been away.

Yes, but be sure to put them in the same folder hierarchy that the sony driver uses (database/media/books). You must connect to the root folder and add database/media/books to the save path, or the metadata.calibre file won't be where the sony driver expects it (the root of the card).

Will Calibre create the right collections?
No. It also won't create the Sony DB entries, but the sony will do that when you disconnect. It remains to be seen whether the second scan by the Sony slows down the disconnect to the point where using connect to folder helps performance.
Quote:
If not, will it then create the collections if I connect the Sony to Calibre afterwards?
Yes, if metadata management is set to automatic.
