Yes, refuse to upgrade to an operating system that has Nazi DRM properties built into it.

When you ‘Right Click’ on the media .. do you have “Send To” in the drop down window?

If so .. just click on “Send To” and a window should open that shows your USB drive to send to.

windows likes the copy,paste better than the drag. Try that

You may have to open the folder you are trying to drag and highlight all the files. Then try dragging them. The files (MP3) aren’t actually in the Windows Media 7 directory, but are linked to where they actually are on your computer.

Maybe there is some kind of copy protection going on there.
Try zipping them into one file and then transfer to the USB drive and unzip.

Suggestion: Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V.

Adding to the info from post #6 right click on the mp3 folders and scroll down to ‘properties’. See if the data information indeed is in that file. Sometimes mp3 files are linked via a playlist shortcut icon.

Were you copying from the “library” or from the original file location?

I just did drag and drop from explorer and had no problem. I also can do a synch and it copies whatever I drop into the synch playlist. Not sure what is the problem with your set-up.

Of course, you could sync the songs from the Windows Media Player to your USB drive; if you need the music in folders, you would have to organize that on the drive.
