I'm not quite sure what you're talking about here. Seems to me fragmentation percentage would mean how much my files are fragmented. On all my other filesystems, the percentage is between 1 and 3. I can understand how the mp3 filesystem may have become so fragmented, with the constant deleting and moving around of files. And my question still hasn't been answered. How can I defragment it? /----------------------------------------------------------\ | pretzelgod | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | (Eric Gillespie, Jr.) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |---------------------------<*>----------------------------| | "That's the problem with going from a soldier to a | | politician: you actually have to sit down and listen to | | people who six months ago you would've just shot. | | --President John Sheridan, Babylon 5 | \----------------------------------------------------------/
