Hi Neil,

As far as I can tell, you did everything correct.

Did you unplug the USB cable before checking for the files on the phone?
The Memory Stick (that actually gets connected as "removable drive" ) is
not accessible by the phone while the USB connection is enabled.

Apart from that, I did the exact same thing as you did. - the .dm files
should then be shown as .mp3 files with a key icon.

HTH
