:lol: [color=#][/color]I have found that corruption can occur through the sync function of Windows Media Player. The MP3 player has a limit in the number of files in folders and the number of folders. I found a lot of MP3s were corrupt after doing a sync operation. These MP3s had played fine before on the MP3 player. I could not delete the corrupt files. The player had to be reformated.

I can only format my Wilson Nano clone with Windows Me for some reason I am not sure of. It could be Windows XP will not allow less than fat32.
I am able to format and able the check the device as a disk using Windows Me full format and it gives me 3.99 gb useable space.

I have created folders in the root directory of the Mp3 player for Video, Artist, Oldies, etc. In these folders are subfolders. For example under Artist I have a serperate folder for each artist. I then transfer each album of that artist to theArtist's folder. I rip the CD with Windows Media player and use it to update the CD information. This way I get the album art in the folder with song title, genre etc.

When I transfer to the Nano clone, I only use the copy and past method. I copy and paste the whole album folder from Media player to the MP3 player.

In order to see the folders when using the player, I select local folders and keep going back until I see root or the subcatagories of root. I keep making my selections with the M button until I reach the folder with the songs and then use the play key.

I am telling you all this because it is very easy to get format errors with files and that they can be avoided and are not necessarily a memory problem. Sending over 99 songs at a time the the MP3 player is asking for trouble. It does work sometimes.
