"No fault of JR-they are still the best. Will only recognize songs with 15 or less characters-so don't plan on anything from The Doobie Brothers; The Rolling Stones; etc.. showing up in your "mp3 folder"-and I use "showing up" loosely.

"Disappointing, not very compatible with much of any formats, they list lots but I have not found one to work either with the movie folder or the music.

My suggestion is use as an external 20GB hard drive and forget everything else, except the photos and voice recording. "
