Hello List:
I am considering getting a Western Digital HD for my BNMPBT. My
friend has one, and I have used it a few times (it is 60 or 80
GB). Whenever I try to get information about it by pressing
SPACE with I in the drive list, the unit locks up and will only
recover if I disconnect the HD. Any suggestions?
Next, what file system works best for not only USB, but CF or SD
as well: FAT or FAT32? Is one better for one type of media? I
don't want to try it with that HD because I doubt my friend would
appreciate me erasing all his data.
When streaming media, has anyone else noticed it drop off,
especially when it is a radio station or a long stream like that?
I have done everything: left the page open, moved to other tasks,
even had that stream plus the radio plus a 20+ song M3U playlist
going. Sometimes it streams fine, sometimes it doesn't, never
depending on how little or much I tax it.
I have noticed a strange thing: my unit seems to hate hibernate
mode. I will be reading a book with speech in bed, and I will
stop the book so I don't wake up two hours later and hear the end
(though I don't always make it) and sometimes I will forget to
turn it off. It will hibernate, but sometimes as little as a few
minutes later it will wake up again, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed
to face whatever I demand of it. This just seems like strange
behavior. (I wish there were a way to control when the unit goes
into hibernate, as long audio tracks cannot be marked, and
therefore you lose your place if the unit falls asleep in the
middle of one).
If you actually bothered to read all the way down here, thanks
for your time and any answers I may get,
Alex
