Pretty dumb limitation really - but what can you do ???

Not sure why they put a 512 file limit (and a 255 folder limit) but they did. You'll also see it referenced on the voice cheat sheets.
I found the 2GB card works out perfect. I converted 512 tracks to Mp3 and it took up 1.8GB on the CF cards ( ie an average of 3.5 mb per song). I used 128 kbps bit rate in creating the mp3 files.
But a 4GB would allow me to store 512 larger files ( ie longer tracks if I had them and/or higher quality) so that's a good choice as well.
I was thinking actualy of getting a few more cards, and I would simply have a Jazz CF, a SoftRock CF and a Rhythm & Blues CF. Would love to use just one 8 GB if I could but I cant.

2) The compact flash card will appear as a hard drive ; just drag/copy your MP3 files to it using Windows Explorer...or ITunes etc.
