If it is the usb ports on my system, that's especially funny because it's a Dell Dimension.
Thanks for the tip of sending files directly through media player, I never even thought of that. Copying and Pasting large files is probably pushing it. I'll go with the sync.
Thanks

Neurotic, some folks have had problems with Dell older machines and USB. Nothing with a trend, but I have heard reports on 8100's and some older machines. USB is a very flaky interface, particularly 1.1. If you had problems with a printer and USB, let me suggest you get a new PCI USB board and start fresh. There have been many posts about how this $20 investment has cured all sync and file transfer problems. What I suspect is that on long file transfers the risk of an intermittant problem goes way up. Small files tranfer, but the longer ones get hit. I think a new USB board would make things much better for you all the way around.
My $.02.
