So I upgraded to the latest version of the OS and Gracenotes with no problems and spent the better part of a sunday afternoon copying 6 GB of songs (wma and mp3) to the HDD. The problem is that no matter how I select a song or playlist, it will not play the file. They do not have DRM on them, I select them, it says "by playlist" or "by album" with the arrows to switch tracks, but never displays the time left on the song or the title on the left. The right has what I selected, but nothing plays... period.

Any suggestions?

Hmm...do they play okay on your PC?

I recently found a new trick to adding music to MyGIG. I downloaded the latest version of Apple iTunes (it's free). Then I rip the CDs to my PC HD instead of directly to the MyGIG. iTunes named the music in several CDs that MyGIG just listed as "track01.WMA" or whatever. I even have the latest Gracenote database installed but that didn't help in some cases.

Anyway, after ripping them to the PC HD I copy whatever music I want to a USB flashdrive and then upload it to MyGIG. Even with adding these extra steps it goes a lot faster than trying to burn a CD directly to MyGIG, which used to take 12 minutes or so for each one. The bonus is that I can combine multiple CDs as one upload to MyGIG and it will only create one folder. I can still sort the music by album, artist, etc., because iTunes adds that info when I burn it to the PC HD.
