Ta muchly It was a combination of the software and the odd fact that Panasonic standard batteries don't seem to be up to the job. I was using a brand new one, and when I changed over the to Connect.com software, all seemed fine until during transfer the NetMD would switch itself off. After playing around for a while, I replaced it with a Panasonic PowerMax3 battery, and buddabing, works fine. Cheers kurisu, I couldn't have done it without ya.

iceedtea's I think, the file I used on the second PC is SS20E_20040319.exe , should I be using a different one? I followed a link to a download page on these forums, but I can't find the darn link now. And I'm not likely to be mangling MDs in my foolhardy attempt to get this infernal device to work am I? Cheers!

Howdy all. I'm an MD newb, so go easy on me! Having just inherited a MZ-N505 Type R NetMD player, I loaded up the unofficial SonicStage 2 from the sticky, installed, try to transfer some MP3s over and it did a few tracks before I got: The tracks cannot be transferred to the device/media. The remaining transfer count is zero. First Time Drag You Down (The last two lines being the tracks it hadn't copied) Initially I thought it might be my install, so I went downstairs and had a pop with another PC, same thing. Any ideas? Am I doing something stoopid? (I have searched Google, http://www.talkaboutaudio.com/group/alt.au...ges/140265.html looks to have the same problem, but both times for me it was a fresh install, the second time around on a system with 10GB+ free space) Tried two different brand-new MDs (one cheapo, one TDK), two different PCs (with two different cables), both XP Pro (SP1) machines. TIA! (W00t, first post! :cool:) (Edited: Reworded and added bits for clarity)
