More USB problems with Glacier
I expressed problems I was having with transferring files on my new Glacier in another message here, with the USB registering as 1.1 (unless, as I discovered, I click on a certain line in the alert bubble that pops up).
Besides the varying speed problem, I was also having problems keeping an open USB connection on my machine. I would frequently have to remove and reconnect the USB cable. I tried the Glacier on my GF's computer, and because I had no such problems with my previous MP4 player, I suspected there would also be USB problems on the other computer, and there was. Different problems, though!
There was a similar alert message from Windows saying the USB "could be faster", and I was able to connect anyway. But on her computer, the Glacier would consistently stop transferring in the middle of transferring a folder of mp3's. I could maybe get one folder and a half to transfer at one time, before the drive was no longer seen by windows (even though, strangely enough, the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon was still there in the system tray). Each time I had to remove the cable and reconnect and try again. On my computer, I had already transferred enough files to fill up the player but on my GF's computer, I was simply unable to transfer some of the folders in their entirety, after repeatedly trying.
Thing is, I was just about ready to order another Glacier for her as well, until I actually tried mine on her machine and these USB problems came up. I had already gotten past the fact that the Glacier will not accept many of her present WMA's, MP3 and OGG files (because it only plays certain types of a given format), and now this!
Question: Are others having similar USB transfer problems with their Glacier, or am I to assume that I have a defective Glacier?
