Thanks for your help. I managed to solve it in a different way by initializing the hard drive on the player and loading the software on a different computer. I was then able to transfer the same files which i had previously been unable to transfer, using the same software. This is a mystery to me but everything is in working order so im not that concerned why it works as long as it works. I may post if i have any futher problems in future as ive already had my share but this thread can be closed by a mod. Thank you.

I have a problem with sonicstage as when i try to transfer music downloaded from the internet (even freebies from myspace or a band's website) I get a message saying "transfer not allowed". I am able to transfer cds and even copied cds but not music stored on my pc's hardrive. This does not seem to make any sense as even sony wouldnt disallow any music downloaded from the internet, legally or otherwise and they would be foolish to ignore this market of free downloads. Please tell me why this might be happening and what i might be able to do about it (short of writing all my music off my hd onto cd and ripping into sonicstage).
