@andrewcontreras looks like that port is actually soldered to your main board. Use this video to get into your Walkman. Then remove the main board. Now post some good pictures of both sides of the board and post that with your Question. That way we can see what you see. Adding images to an existing question
The port itself appears to be a Sony proprietary so it may be difficult to find a replacement. You may have to ty and find a broken Walkman and harvest the connector from that. This repair will require soldering.

Hey, the thing is I know it need soldering but cant any other USB port be used to replace it, i don't have a soldering kit, just 20 bucks and need it repaired some how, many of my playlist are on there strictly
@andrewcontreras we need to see the connector or at least the cable connector that plugs into your Walkman to determine what port this exactly is.
That is just the issue. It is most likely some sort of USB port but Sony likes to use proprietary connectors. You can check Digikey.com or Mouser .com and see if you can match your connector. It'll take a good while to dig through their connectors https://www.mouser.com/c/connectors/usb-...
No its generic port, usb A
Its obvious and I cracked it open to get a look, seems possible just dont got a soldering kit, so I gotta pay someone
