Does this display lyrics embedded in music file tag?

Yes with various success. If you have an app that displays them well I would advise you to stick with it on this Walkman. The built-in app is somewhat inconsistent but it's Android 12 so you can install one that works better for you.

Can the Sony do Airplay?

Hi, Thanks for the question! We are sorry but Airplay is not supported on the NW-A306 Walkman. However, the NW-A306 is Wi-Fi compatible for direct download and music streaming. Supported by Android and compatible with Wi-Fi, the NW-A306 offers you even more ways to listen to your music. Enjoy your favorite streaming and music apps right on your Walkman or connect to a PC to access your music collection. With a long battery life, you can immerse yourself in more of your music, with up to 36 hours of 44.1KHz FLAC playback, up to 32 hours of 96 KHz FLAC High-Resolution Audio playback, or even up to 26 hours with a music service app. Hope this helps! - Kris

What is the maximum size sd memory card supported?

I've successfully used a 256gb card of which about 238gb was used. I am currently using a 512gb card, but in the process of cleansing my library metadata and reripping CDs as FLAC for higher quality with lossless compression.

I can't get the microsd to stay in the mp3 player. anyone else? what do i do? how do i play music from the sd card?

I haven't had any connectivity issues. The music library should automatically recognize the SD card. Don't have to do anything additional on your end.
