micro SD files: Do the files on the microSD card merge with the files already on the built-in flash memory or is there a separate folder for the the SD files?

That's something I'd also like to know BEFORE I buy it. I wonder why nobody has replied on that issue? I know on the old 130e series players, it did, and it was wonderful because it meant I could put books on one chip and music of various genres on others.

Yup- need to have some data on there...it helps! Too bad the SD card reader is limited to SD and won't play the newer SDHC. So the card reader is limited to 2 gigs. Somewhat useful but not supe-useful for video as many of those files or folders are well over 2 gigs.

In my Experience, the micro sd with adapter, does not work fine, because when I was using that memory, in many times appeared a message saying "The memory card cannot be read". I changed the SD card with other model like Sandisk sdh, and work fine.

It all depends upon the size of the memory card and yes, when connected, the files are copied from the memory card via the device just like a thump drive.

This is a great question. The photos on Amazon show a micro-SD card and a micro-SD logo on the USB stick, so it seems reasonable to wonder if one can swap out the 2gb SD card for a larger one. One of the reviewers, going by "Islander" states that they swapped out the card with a 128GB micro-SD, but then they also state that they haven't actually done so, so its still an unanswered question at the time of me writing this.

The MicroSD chop goes INSIDE the metal half, and together they fit into any standard USB slot and are read like any normal flash/thumb drive.The top part is a simple plastic cover acting as a protective shell for when you don't have it inserted into the slot.The chip friction-fits inside and will have no trouble staying there. It's is removed by pushing the very tiny (takes a fingernail) yellow tab just a bit, that pokes the chip to stick out a tiny bit, but enough that you can grab the chip and remove it fully.

Yes, it takes a separate memory card. You insert the card into a slot located on the upper back of the device. Just push the card in until only about a 1/4" is showing. They warn you not to push the card in too far. So I had a problem a first. I searched their website and it instructed to push the card in as directed above. Then everything worked fine.

I just bought one of these a few days ago, and I bought a 2GB microSD card to go with it. When I plugged the device (with microSD inserted) into my computer, it shows up as TWO separate external drives ("disk" and "disk-1"). I then dragged files to them separately. But... when the device is removed, it displayes "refresh database, do not remove SD card" (or something similar) and thinks for about 30 seconds. After that, it appears that the two separate file systems are seen as ONE by the device itself.I am using Linux (Ubuntu 7.04). I'm not sure if it is different with Windows platforms.

Yes that is what I use in my tablet and ebook reader and I have had no problems loading both movies and books onto the 32 GB micro sd card and then using it in the devices. I have usb hard drives to store my books and movies and when I want to change them I remove old content and side load the new ... hope this helps

If this happens to you, make sure you have a FAT32-formatted microSD card inserted properly. This happens to me if I forget to put the card back in after transferring files. The device has no built-in memory at all.

"Flash" refers to the type of memory upon which the data is stored. In other words it uses an SD card.

It depends on what type of memory card the video camera needs. One caution: although the memory stick can take two microSD cards (an in principle, these can be of any size), you can only access the memory of microSD#1. This can be overcome if you format the entire memory stick as one "piece". Then, the device will see the whole memory stick as being the combined memory of both microSD cards. However, the only drawback here is that you can't access one of the microSD cards separately in another device -- it's how the memory allotment is treated when it sees the two microSDs as one. If the video camera takes memory stick pros, then it shouldn't be a problem. I also agree, the memory stick write/read speed is relatively slow compared to SD or microSD alone.

Hi JasonThanks for your help, but in my case it did not work. The computer disk management shows the SD Card, but reports that there is no media. Therefore there is no option to format the card. Is there another way to get this working? Thanks, Urs

Yes! use Slot 1. If you want to add a micro SD to the second slot in the future, then you will have to back up the data off the existing card and reformat. Remember, on PSP and sony camcorders it will not read any more than 32gb, so you are limited to that size sd card. use two 16 gb sd cards instead.

Hi, i don't know, because in my memory card only this marked micro sd and nothing more. Sorry.

This card will work with all SD card slots. A micro SD is different, The micro SD will require an adapter to act like a SDHC card. SDHC and Micro SD are different types, You will found Micro SD on Smartphones, SDHC is more oriented to Computers, Laptops and some Car Audio.

You need a regular SD, not micro. I got this one and it works great: SanDisk 16GB Class 4 SDHC Memory Card, Frustration-Free Packaging (SDSDB-016G-AFFP)
