Never heard of that problem myself.
I plug my phone in, copy the music across using xps "removable drive" malarky, and then unplug. Works fine.
What you may have done is copy it across, go into walkman and tried playing it. The walkman is using its old playlist so wont play your new music. Or... youve copied it across, its WMA or OGG or some other unsupported format so its not showing up in the walkman playlist editor.

to install and play dont think its possible, not even with editing the GDFS.
to store and install from, just put em in the other folder.

Is it possible you are copying to the phone memory instead of the Memorystick? That caught me out.

You cant install games to the Memory Stick, you cant even alter the GDFS to point to the memory stick as the install directory.
You can however, copy the .jar to the memory stick and choose to install it to your phone from there.
Best thing to do is, store games on your stick, uninstall ones you dont need/install ones you do need. This can be done on the fly as the installers are on your memory stick.

ah, that is a problem with the phone
if you remove the phone when the computer is accessing the memory stick at all it doesnt return control of the stick to the phone, when you connect the phone to the pc the pc has total control of the memory stick and the phone has none
i never connect my phone to the pc as i normally have problems, generally with the syncing stuff

new R1BC002 firmware (out today):
- Hissing sound while low volume call is gone: It works! Hissing is definitely gone now.
- Photos are now taken as soon as the shutter sound is heard: Also OK. This is very good as I used to miss some good pictures because of the the time transcurred between the shutter sound and the picture actually being taken.
- Free memory listed in MB instead of KB. I personally prefer the old KB system.
- I have not noticed any increase in phone responsiveness and speaker and headphone volume seem very similar to me.
- I think music quality is more or less the same.
- USB transfer problems fixed now.

Ive now updated it using the official Sony Ericsson tool. :)

You need to ensure you have the latest version of flash from macromedia.com For a critical app, I am surprised they have made it with Flash...
No firmware menu item on my W800i

I knew which, but I couldnt remember if it was the 3G Walkman phone. That must be the W900 thats the 3G one.

no flash option via the software on the phone, though you can update via GPRS...
theres currently no way you can kill your phone by flashing it.
