I just grabbed 2.96.
Exp;orer sees all files in the hard drive folder
I can copy all files to the S510 using explorer but only th eones Music Manage sees and transfers will play. This makes sense as the indexes are not built/
Music manager sees (displays the names) of 4 out of the 8 files in the folder.
I can put the files up on a subfolder of one of my websites.
I will try 2.96 first.
Clue: I did edit the TAG files on all of the files to create albums and track numbers so the files can be organized on a Sandisk e250 and a generic player. Only those 4 display.
As far as I can tell al code is standard. I ahve not looked at the file names with a bit editor yet.
i will try 2.96 and report my experience.
Thanks for the help.
