Steve,
Got it all working. thanks for your help. MC9 works great and so does the jukebox. I was installing an earlier version of MC9 that I downloaded from the website and the later version did the trick.
I wanted to use the Nomad to backup the music files as well as a portable device but I'm still a little leary about the way the Nomad changes the filenames to tracks. I'd rather it not do that, but I understand that is a limitation and function of the Nomad and not MC/MJ. So I'll probably go figure something else out for that.
One more question (okay, several questions about one thing) before I leave you alone though, when using the sync function, does it sync all music or just the music in the playlists? I'm guessing that it will sync the files in the playlists only unless I've got the transfer all files checkbox checked? Also, what does the "delete files not in list" checkbox do and the update tags checkbox do? I think my primary concern is when syncing, does it go either way meaning that the Nomad can also overwrite the files in the computer? Or, will the computer only ovewrite the files in the Nomad? Or both (like when syncing a plam pilot)? when I hit the synchronization no music files show up in the window, only the playlists (and the video and still image playlists for that matter, how do I remove them from teh sync? Do I right click then hit delete? I'm afraid of deleting it from the computer.) I've looked through the help menus and could not find anything on the sync.
Hope I was clear enough with all my questions. But thanks again for our help.
Randy
