Hi! Got my nw-e405 about two weeks ago. Thanks for the great tips, too bad I had to come to the same conclusions myself, before reading this post. It would have saved me some time . I quickly realised that the library function is quite useless, although it thrives to be all but that. It's best not to use it as a library, but as a temporary holder of albums you want to transfer. If some songs manage to escape an album, just use the tips in red from the first post . Once you have your tracks on your MD, just remove all the entries from the 'library', and you're ready for a new session. I keep my fingers crossed as I download the 4.0 upgrade.
