Small handheld annoyances - SD Card
« on: April 01, 2004, 12:59:23 pm »

I use my Palm Zire 71 as my mp3 player.  I load the songs using Media Center by putting the SD card into a card reader and attaching to a usb port.

Last night when I tried to delete the songs off the card it gave me a file not found error for every song.  I deleted the songs through windows explorer and went back to MC.  

When I send a list of songs to the card using the handheld wizard in the AW they only go to the root folder.  I can't get it to point to the AUDIO folder on the SD card.  Using this folder keeps the mp3's seperate from the plam files that are also on the card, so it makes it much easier to delete tunes when I want to change what's on the card.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

I can't post my system info because I'm at work.

Thanks.

bjsolem,

Right click on the drive letter and use the 'Set Root Directory' option to set the default root directory to your 'AUDIO' folder, assuming that you have a folder called 'AUDIO' on your card at the root level. If you do this, when you drop on the action window, files will automatically go to that directory.

Cool!  Thanks!

I thought I checked everything out.  I must have missed it.

Any idea why I couldn't delete off the card from within MC?

ZRocker,

It is not skinnable at this time.

bjsolem,

I am not sure why those files failed to delete. They delete for me. If they fail again, check the Filepath when the portable view is selected in MC.
