I hope someone can shed some light on this most irritating problem.
Recently it seems nothing I do can coax MP3s I have on my computer into my Sharp Net MD (IM-DR80) player. I used to use RealOne Player version 10 for this but now I get some message telling me there's not enough space or the file format is wrong. I have installed all the useless Japanese software that came with it as well (I live in Japan) such as BeatJam and of course the players drivers. I tried using old versions of Real but when I needed to download the Sony device driver (needed for Sharp players too) it wouldn't let me without updating to the latest version of RealOne. I know that others on this site think RealOne is crap and I tend to agree but it did do the job in the past and it's free. Any ideas would be appreciated as I am just about ready to give up on MDs forever and get an IPOD (heaven forbid)! I am beginning to think that RealOne's nice people have created some nasty little bit of code that will not allow non-licensed MP3s to be tranferred. After all, they must have some friendly arrangement with Sony Corp. who have a great deal of interest in making us all buy more CDs.
Thanks, Ozzie.
