I have just bought a pearl 8100 and am working my way around it. I bought a 2Gb sd card for it and managed to transfer a folder containing a number of files onto the card from my pc using windows explorer.

From WE, the blackberry appeared as a removable drive (h and this contained a sub-folder names blackberry. I opened blackberry and noticed the following sub-folders:
music
pictures
ringtones
system
videos

I created another folder and named it tt. I copied all of my files into this directory. Some of these files were music files and initially, after the file transfer, I was able to (on pearl) open the Media application , select Music and then Media Card. The tt folder was then visible and when I drilled down into this I was able to navigate to my music an play it.

Since this first time I have been unable to access the music files in tt (or see tt at all via the pearl) If I move the music from tt into the music folder I am able to access the files.

Could someone explain this little oddity?

I was previously a SPV (windows mobile) user and from the handset I was able to access any file using the file explorer program on the device. Does the blackberry have similar capabilities?

You can access user created folders using the media player by choosing explore in the menu. Then you can drill down to your folder.
