Hey everyone,

When I first got my reader and had a few files on it, I listened to mp3s while reading and had no problem. I expanded the memory with a Sony Duostick Pro 2g and a 4g SDHC. I put a bunch of mp3s on the SDHC. I don't play them all that often, but several times now when I have, the reader has locked up. It does it fairly quickly after the song starts.

My question is: Do you think I have a problem with specific mp3s, or is it because they are on the SDHC? Would I have better luck on the Duostick? Or do I need to limit my mp3s to what will fit in the Reader's native memory? If I do that, I will have to cut down the number of songs (about 482 Meg), but that's doable.

Thanks in advance.
