| 415804 | 2005-12-26 02:55:00 | My mp3 player slowly loses space, though the symptioms are different. Mine reports the correct size but when I copy to it it reports it as full. The cure is formatting it again. I can't however just format it as FAT because this stops it working, I have to use the format tool from trancend (the manufacturer) to do it. | BIFF (1) | ||
| 415805 | 2005-12-26 03:57:00 | hmm sorry not 206mb duno what i was thinking. well i can fit 99 songs on so i dont mind too much but it is odd....it mentions converting to fat32 in the manual. maybe i should give that a try | jamesyboi (6579) | ||
| 415806 | 2005-12-26 07:45:00 | 245MB is just its formated size. For example, my 250GB hard drive is 233GB when formated. :) | maccrazy (6741) | ||

I thought FAT32 was needed for the Gb hard drives to replace FAT16 I am sure the same theory applies. I think before I stick my foot in my mouth we need to look at "song memory size" and cluster size to see if there is a advantage. ----- more ----- In fact 256/99 comes out at 2.5Mb song size |
