PS3 file transfer to Z3 compact

Hi guys

I've connected my Z3 to my PS3 via USB and successfully transfered Mp3 files onto my storage card. I can also access the transferred files via the PS3 from my phone also. However, I cannot for the life of me access the Mp3 files directly on my phone.

Am I missing something obvious? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Worked it out. Bizarrely there were two folders named "Music" on the root of my SD card, one in Upper case and the other in title case but both appeared to contain the same files. I renamed one of the folders and the missing songs magically appeared.

It must have been a bug with case sensitivity and how the music folder is accessed via USB mass storage data transfer

@Tomocb

are the files protected?

I had considered that possibility so I tried ripping another cd instead that was not protected but had same problem

Btw when I say I can't access the files I mean I can't even find the folder let alone the files

However I can access the song files via my PS3 and even play them from my phone. Just can't understand why I can't access them directly on the phone.

Any suggestions welcome!
