Device to Device Transfer

I copied all my music from Realplayer Library to my MP3 Device, never used the Device Software at all, found it complicated. Most of said music would have been in flv format; flash video originally. Over time my Realplayer Library decreased in size due to crashing n' freezing, and ya get a message to click on it in order to restore your Library so it won't be corrupted, but in fact if you click on that message it ends up clearing a lot of your library which you won't be able retrieve again you'll have to go n' re-download them all, all over again. Funnily enough your Library is fine and nothing happens without that message at all! So that's what happened I unknowingly clicked on that message a couple of times and now have a very small collection left in my actual Realplayer Library on my computer harddrive. So I don't have any music files as such to work with for Device software.

When I open up my Device as Hardware it lists music and artist folders but has nothing inside those folders. When I open up my Device as a Realplayer Device, it lists all the songs and displays them as monikerdevice format. I have gotten wise lately and formatted some songs lately to .mp3 format in case I ever need the original music files again for anything, but most of these that I have collected up till now are sitting in devicemoniker format. They'll play fine on the Device itself, but won't do anything when I bring them up under Realplayer Devices on computer.

So, as I have purchased a new Device, I now want all said songs on new Device, so is there any way I can do a complete direct straight transfer from this monikerdevice format to my new Device, or any way I can put them from Devicemoniker format back to .flv's or mp4's or something, - to put them all back into my Realplayer Library, and I can just put every single one of them into a usable mp3 format to transfer again etc.

Surely there's someone else who didn't stick to the Device software to sync songs that did it with Realplayer or Windows Media Player .... Just wondering how you made actual music files out of what you have ......

Thanks in advance for any help.

I might be wrong, but I think most people would be scratching their heads at the nameless device, using .flv for music files, rather than MP3, AAC or other more common file types. All that and using Realplayer to top it off means I, and I suspect many others, wouldn't have any familiarity with your problems.
