Robert, thank you. I think this will do it and will buy a cable to see.
But, do you mean external to the player or to the laptop?
Do I need a Y cable with one mini B male connector and 2 A male connectors?
Or a powered USB hub or other source of power that’s external to the laptop?
(You probably mean the Y cable I described, but I want to be sure.)
Conversionbox: I’m running WMP 10 and yes, I did search the forum and knowledge base,
and google, and other forums, and called SanDisk.
Miikerman: I was using MSC mode. Tried MTP too, but neither worked.
Thanks very much for your help, everyone.
