Peter The roblem may be that I am using one of my usual usb to mini cables and not the one supplied with the machine. I will try that and see if it works. The thing used to work simply using windows explorer but for some obscure reason now it will work for a time and then simply hangs up.

Secondly, just to say that I almost always use Windows Explorer for transferring all sorts of material and have hardly ever had any problems. I only use the transfer software for podcast feeds.
