I haven't used the MP3 player at all yet; I may start doing so for podcasts-only. But take everything I say with a grain of salt since I haven't used it at all yet.

Anyhow, wasn't there a limit to 2GB period before the upgrade? Maybe there's some kind of glitch related to the MP3 storage system over 2GB - or some other kind of upper limit to MP3 storage in sheer file size. How much memory do those 242 or 327 files take up? Are they remotely similar in overall file size?

ETA: Are any of the songs not making it outside the MP3 specs? From the Op Guide: 32-320kbps bit rate (doesn't say that variable bit rate supported,) frequency 22.05 or 44.1 kHz. I don't see anything in the Op Guide about a maximum storage limit on MP3s, but it still wouldn't surprise me if there were, or a glitch as above.
