Does this player require software to transfer files, or is it drag and drop?

I don't know. When my unit wouldn't work, I contacted seller who told me to contact Phillips . They told me that the unit was old enough to be out of any warranty. I have it in a box and an iPod instead .

this unit does not download normal mpe3 file such as wma files; thus, limiting your file choices. i did not have to load software

Its drag and drop. If u mean drag and drop as in say you drag something from iTunes to your music folder that works

It does have that to help get you started , but you can fix it to drag and drop. Just go to the Phillips site and it helps you do whatever you want to the player.

I did not have a problem with transferring any files or CDs thus far. I previously had a Samsung touchscreen w/FM radio. Every music file and every file recorded from the radio iand/or CDs are currently working.

It has to be stored on a USB...with a limit of GB. In hindsight, a player that accepts a higher USB storage capacity-would be better

No, I don´t use any software to transfer, I only use windows explorer to copy de music to sansa clip

I am not going to use a 3rd party player. If something doesn't play in WMP by default, I don't want it.In 20 years from now I am not going to go searching for some weird player / codec.

It has Amazon VOD. The player didn't originally have it, which might be why the specs don't mention it. But, don't worry. The latest software update for the player includes it.

Thanks.For some reason it took about two weeks to work after doing the exact same steps.The same thing sometimes happens with music. I will rip some music and add it to my library, but will have to sync it several times before it sees it. Doesn't always happen, but I have noticed it.

You might try xplay from mediafour software.It will move music and pictures too.

If you have a windows 7 or Vista pc the computer will download the drivers and the software for the player once you plug it in, automatically. I imagine its the same with mac OS. The interface is very easy to use but most of the time I just use file explorer to drag and drop the files to the player. Happy Listening!

Is it required to use specific software to copy music/video etc. between your computer and the unit? I was wonering if anyone knows if Anopod Explorer can be used.

When you plug it in your computer it is like an external hard drive, you just drag and drop you mp3 files. You can you their free app too, but only works in windows, no Mac support. Cheers

I found it wasn't software but the camera. It uploaded to "Dropbox" after I read the camera instructions because the Sony camera has a hard drive and chip. As soon as I plugged into the computer, the transfer started.

Great media player, but sorry to say that you can not copy any files to the internal hard drive once you install it. The fact that you have to add the files to the hard drive before installation makes this feature pretty much useless.

Not sure, but after having this player for a few weeks I think I am going to return it. It is ridiculously slow and very clumsy

This player is fantastic! 1. I've had a 2TB external attached and had no problems. 2. This is a stand alone unit. It was not designed for an internal HDD. Thus allowing it to accept outside attachments.3. It accepts all common audio and video files I've thrown at it with ease.Hope this helps.

Not true! You can d/l firmware updates onto your computer and transfer to a USB stick and pop it into your player. Done!

Since the radio/player acts as a drive when connected to a computer, you can drag/drop any file either way. However, only mp3 or WMA will play.
