Thx for the replies. But I've uninstalled it exactly as the instructions on here. As well I tried installing, 2.1 and then later 2.2 but I get the exact same problem. If I try using my Realplayer Pro to do it, the same thing happens. I'm pretty much giving up and just have to convert all my mp3s to wave before it lets me transfer it. I should've just sticked to 2000 and not upgrade to XP...arrrgh

If I convert it to wave file it works fine, but I never had to do that in 2000. I'm thinking of re-installing Open MG and removing Service Pack 2 for XP....a friend mentioned his Net MD is working fine in XP but he doesn't have SP 2 installed. Someone please help!! I don't understand what XP would be doing so that now I can't copy mp3s to my player. And I even went back to old mp3s that I know worked previously. I really don't want to have to convert every mp3 to wave before transferring every time.

Whooops sorry Aeryin. So why is this doing this? When I was on 2000 I could copy my mp3s fine!

Zombie, I have to give you credit.......that worked! If I convert the songs to wav it transfers ok. But this is going to be a pain in the butt......so that means I'll have to convert all my mp3s to wav before transferring them?!?! I don't understand why all of a sudden it would be doing this.

No I don't think it's because it's MP3s. I say this because I've tried using Open MG which worked prior to XP and I even tried Real Player....all with the same results. Re-installing my OS is my last resort, really don't want to only because it took me quite some time to re-load all the software and set everything up on here. I did do a clean install of XP prior though, meaning I re-formatted my hard drive etc.. I don't know.....this is just weird. I asked my sister to bring her Net MD player over and try to see if the same thing happens to her's.

Ok, I'm at my wit's end with this problem. I've spent over 5 hours trying everthing to fix it and have gone to different forums and (god forbid) even tried to get help from Sony's website. I never had this problem with Windows 2000 but since upgrading to XP Pro I can't transfer any songs to my Net MD MZ-S1. Yes, I have downloaded SP 1 and 2 and any other updates. Here's what I've tried: -I installed Open MG 2.2 -Installed and used SonicStage 1.5, 2.0, and 2.1.....when I did a new install I made sure to uninstall and even went in and removed any registry files and folders -Updated drivers for my Net MD -Tried using Real Player Pro -Borrowed another USB cable -Used an AC adapter and fresh new batteries As you can see I've tried everything but chuck it into the ocean! This forum is my last hope unless Sony gets back with a solution (not holding my breath). Thanks PS. I just tried following the instructions on a clean install from this forum and still doesn't work
