My solution was to set up personal websharing on the Mac, which will allow you to view a directory. Then download the files from the Windoze box with Internet Explorer by entering the IP of the Mac. I had to set the MIME type on PW, and not being a networking genius I had to fiddle a bit, but finally got them moved. I was moving .wmv files, but I am sure MP3 would work as well if not easier. Note too that I am assuming you gave both boxes on the same network or can put them on the same network. I also have IPNetRouter running as a gateway for Internet sharing, but I don't think that made it work. David -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
