Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see this as a USB storage or SanDisk CF problem, but some kind of filesystem problem. I was able to reproduce some parts of this problem. I wrote an mp3 file to a CF and tried to play it. The CF already had 1 mp3 file on it and I added 1 more. The MP3 player (MoveMan) would only play the first mp3 file (written on a Windows system). It ignored the second mp3 file (written by Linux). My CF reader/writer is also SanDisk, but I don't see how that could figure into the problem. I suspect filesystem data structures, and I'll try to look into it more. Andries, do you have any ideas about this one? -- ~Randy "Linux is not a research project.
