<Why your Windows should be XP> I've tried to detect my Rio600 using Windows Media Player 7.01 on a PC w/ WinMe, and one with W98; no success. And I thought that an icon would show up in the My Computer folder for the device-- nope. RealJukeBox and the Audible manager (came with the Rio) both detect the device, and Windows Device Manager shows the latest driver in place and working properly. My Rio has the latest firmware...so it is strange that Windows itself doesn't seem to see the device. I'd like to drag and drop files onto the Rio, just as you would move files around from folder to folder. Anyway... I see that XP comes with WMP 8, I might be tempted to upgrade since RealJukeBox might not anymore be very well supported (RealOne is the latest software) and Audible doesn't seem to have music on their website. Any thoughts? Am new to digital audio--have only had the Rio two days. The idea of putting a music library on my PC HDD is appealing, just zap the days listening over to the Rio, which is a very nice shirtpocket device. Should I expect XP to do a better job of showing new USB devices such as my Rio?
