Hi guys, had been facing this same error for the past one week. And it was real frustrating not to be able to upload onto the player. On recommendation of the Service Centre, I even formatted the player but all to no effect. Finally today found the solution to this error. Found it on the American website for Sony products. And it works like a charm. Just finished uploading 2gb of stuff onto the player.
