do a google for ubuntu Nwhd3 and take a look at the launchpad bug reports. There is a fix in there for getting the player to show up as a media player in rhythmbox - that might help dan -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk

Personally I wouldn't bother. What does a generic MP3 player cost? £20? Could spend hours, days or weeks trying to download to the Sony - surely your time is more precious than that? Sean -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk
