Badger Man I have had the same problem and like you am getting pretty hacked off with connect player having only used good old 'drag & drop' mp3 software in the past!!! Please keep the post updated about any progress you make. Luckily I have managed to get about 5gb on my player before it started to waste a hell of alot of my time. I would love to know why I was able to transfer that much and then it stopped???? I dont like being a guinea pig for Sony..........so give us a break!!!
