Lisa, downloading MP3 files on to your BN won't hurt any of your files. It will also not hurt the BN in any way. You won't have room to store more than one, or maybe two, on your flash disk, and I would strongly recommend doing as you suggested and listening to one and then deleting it. I will second Isaac's suggestion that you get a nice roomy Compact flash card to store things on. Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions for websites that work with the BN for downloading MP3s. The one I like to use at home requires the use of multiple browser windows, so that doesn't work on the BN. I hope someone comes up with something in that area. Sarah

You need to get compact flash cards to safely store your data. I will bet money that you have been told this before. You really need to backup your files. You really need a compact flash card or two. I am buying a 1 gigabyte card for $48 from Buy.com.
