Well, I am using fairly cheap ones (Comp USA house brand - $19.95 for 50, on sale). I use them for offloading data too, and have no trouble with them at all data-wise. I even burned a 4.0-install CD from the ISO image on the ftp site in case of emergency, and it boots and reads just fine. I guess maybe audio players are more picky? Perhaps they're designed that way to prevent copying? ========================================================== = Bryan D.
