try simply getting the files off of the mp3 player....treat the player as a simple storage device and simply copy them to a folder on your machine

Beware of the big 3 insurance companies in Texas! Read your policies carefully (maybe you'll need a lawyer) Allstate, Farmers & State Farm are overextended and their 'coverage' is worthless...a true waste of your money Read This

That was one thing I had not tried. A glimmer of hope. But no, it did not work. The player works fine in every other way -- transfer files off, playback, etc. Just can't move new ones on. Thanks anyway.
