Does it not work as a straightforward mass-storage device? I've never really 
been convinced about these applications, whether for digital cameras or music 
players, which purport to "make life easier" managing and transferring your 
pictures or music, I'm a big fan of Konqueror for the purpose - just let me 
see what's on there without any obfuscation and I'll do the managing part.

Oh - and sprogs are permitted to use non-free software and DRM formats? 
Something doesn't sound right about that - some education is clearly in 
order! ;-)

Happy New Year to all :-)
