Got this lovely piece of kit this morning. Sadly 14 hours later I'm still pulling my hair out.

Transfer MP3s using data cable. Safely remove devise. Half songs missing/corrupted. Tried everything.

Anyone had similar troubles/got any tips. Yes I've tried the Sony website. Yes it is useless.

Are the ones that aren't showing using strange encoding like non-fixed bitrates?

If it's not that not then get a proper mp3 player ;)

That's what happens when you buy gadgets from a rastarfarian on a market stall, Rod.

Rastarfarian? Oh no. Got Jeeves to sort it out. Spanks for him!

Hmmm, I'm having the same problem too, Rod. I thought I'd just not done it properly till I saw this thread from you and I put two and two together.

It doesn't help that the Disc2Phone software is shite!

I know! I thought at first it was because I'm on a Mac and simply transfering the files was not good enough. But having tried the same on a mates PC, and Disk2Phone which is utter shite, I've still made feck all progress.
