Since DM6 doesn't have Roxio, How can I get new music and videos onto my Torch? All I ever used was DM5 with Roxio and just had to drag and drop. I'm lost.

In DM6 under Music synchronization settings You can choose to sybc with either iTunes or Windows Media Player.

Not sure how it actually works as I just drop the music directly to the memory card like if it was a USB Stick.

I actually like the new DM way of doing it better than Roxio which I found clumsy and slow.

Thanks Mio. I have a 16g card. How do I drop music into it?

You can also reload DM5 w/Roxio if you are more comfortable with that process.
I have a co-worker who was uncomfortable with the sync method in DM6 so I re-loaded DM5 w/Roxio for her. After you load DM5, Roxio is basically a stand alone program that really just used DM5 to launch it. I went ahead and deleted DM5 and added a shortcut to Roxio on her desktop... she says she has the best of both worlds now.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

Screw drag and drop (and certainly the god-awful Roxio on DM5). The Music Sync feature on DM6 works flawlessly. I'm talking almost 4000 songs seamlessly transferred from iTunes on my PC to a 32 GB card on my Torch. Plus, I can now use Wireless Music Sync to automagically download OTA to my Torch any new music I've downloaded onto my PC.

If the music on your PC is in iTunes or WMP, it's the ONLY way to go. Everything else is MacGyver territory.

I don't have iTunes. I just have WMP on my laptop using Vista. I don't just want more music, I want videos. I could not get DM6 to sync anything. I wouldn't even show that I had any music or videos on my pc.
I've put DM5 back on my pc with Roxio, but would like to use DM6 and keep Roxio, but Roxio doesn't seem to be a stand alone app.
