I have had no problems copying 4 or 5 albums at a time - it just copies across, like using a memory stick.
btw, I format the player to FAT32.
Is there anyone you can 'borrow' some MP3's from, to see if their's copy straight into yours? I remember I had some strange MP3's a year or so ago.. They played fine on the PC, but 4 minute songs were reported as 50+ minutes, and I could never transfer them across to other players. ??? |
Thanks iixorbiusii, but I don't think the MP3 files are dodgy - I ripped them from a CD with media player and the same file will copy fine one time but then fail another time. I've actually given the player to a friend at the moment to try with his files and his PC so that will prove it once and for all whether it is me or the player.
Just in case I've done something stupid, can you tell me if this sounds right;
After the player crashed first time (when I was using media player to copy over an album I had ripped from a CD) and corrupted all the sample files, I reconnected to the PC and formatted the drive using Windows XP to the FAT32 format. If I then looked at the drives properties via windows, the memory was all free apart from one 4k block which I presume is to do with the file structure. Then I dragged files one at a time from my PC directory onto the MP3 drive - at first each song copied across fine but then I got the 'file cannot be found error' and a disconnect. When I reconnect and look at the player, I see a file with the name of the crashed file and of the correct (ie full size) but if I play it I only get part of the song and then either buzzing or the sound of a file loaded before I formatted it. I guess before it starts copying the file from the PC it first names a space on the MP3 big enough to hold the data and then starts copying - so when it crashes I can go back and find the file and whatever data copied over before the crash followed by whatever was in that memory previously.
Any ideas gratefully received - I really like the player but it will have to go back if I can't get it to copy files reliably.
I'll let you know what happens when my friend has tried it.
