Yes, that's what I meant when I said "to another authorized machine". Sorry if I wasn't clear that I meant one on the same account.

melchioe: What I do is sort the directory by date, so the most recent purchases will show up on the top.

If you right click the files, you can see there are fields for "Title" and "Author", but Sony isn't populating them. Might be worth dropping them a line about that

If I get a chance I'll try renaming a purchased file to a meaningful name and see what happens. If it doesn't break it, that might help you - could rename files as you purchased them, then you'd know which was which.

Cheers,
Bob
