Sony NWZ-B143 can't access file structure

[ikesh]

I hope this question hasn't been posted elsewhere and if so I apologize

I just bought the Sony NWZ-B143 4GB walkman and can't seem to directly access its file structure when I plug it into my PC.

On connecting, I expect to see an external drive, eg E: appear somewhere but nothing appears

Instead I get a pop-up directing me to either "Windows Media Player", "Winamp" or "Do Nothing"

I don't really want to either of the above interfaces to transfer, I just want to transfer files using the normal directory as if I was using an external hard drive

Any ideas please?

Mike

Connect your player, click 'Do Nothing' when the pop-up comes up, and try going through My Computer to locate it like you would with a normal external drive. It'll probably show up as 'Walkman' and this should let you drag n drop you content as you please.
