USB device not recognized by XP guest on Mac host

Many thanks in advance to anyone who reads this and provides any feedback...
I recently made the switch from PC (Sony Vaio) to Mac, but still wish to use my Sony Walkman and the Napster interface which are only compatible with PCs. I created a Windows XP virtual machine but am having trouble accessing the Walkman via USB. I've powered down the machine to create and edit the appropriate filter, clearing all fields except Name and Vendor ID. Plugging in the device again does not create a prompt in Windows to install drivers. Virtualbox recognizes the device, but Windows does not.
Any thoughts?
