philips hdd6330 mp3 player

Please somebody help me.

I have Windows xp.

I have voice recordings on my philips hdd6330/17 that are greater than 600 MB in size, some up to 2 GB. For the life of me they will not transfer to my pc. I have 1 GB RAM and 180 GB remaing on my hard drive. I keep getting the error message, "not enough storage space available." I can transfer the WAV files 600 MB's and smaller with no problem and I have played the larger recordings so they are not corrupt. I have even increased my virtual memory to 4094 MB's as Philips advised. I have been round and round with Philips, (unbelievably inept people, Windows (Windows media player 10) and my computer manufacturer. They each point the finger to the other guy but no one knows how to do it!!

Can I get software to split the wav. files into smaller ones from my philips and then rejoin them once they are safe and sound in my pc?

Philips has really been useless as far as the people I am advised to contact at their company. They don't have the foggiest what I should do but are quick to blame my computer or the Windows Media 10 Player software that came with the player, as the problem.
They did suggest I play the voice recording file from my philips player through some external speakers and in turn tape record the sound. (You have got to be kidding me$#@!#)

I am really frustrated!! Can someone help??

Media Transfer Protocol Limitation on file size
Dec 7, 2008 6:50AM PST

I am having this problem and the link to the fix doesn't lead anywhere. Evidently, I don't know enough to search in Microsoft's site as I can't find it. I called Philips and Ben says it's not anything that Philips will help with as it's a MNicrosfot issue ( sorry service. I need the link for the hot fix, if you could help it would great.
thanks

Try Audacity

Or any similar digital recording program on your PC and link the headphone socket of your player to the line input socket on your computer's sound socketry.

Use Audacity (it's a free download) to turn the analogue to digital WAV or MP3 files and optionally to break the original recordings into manageable file sizes.

Obviously you have to do it in real-time so its slow work, but it's one way round -- I frequently get asked to convert cassette tapes to mp3 and it's boring but simple.
