I've sometimes had this problem too. Macs do a good job of retaining
folder integrity (in other words, keeping the contents of a folder
intact), but it can be a problem moving them to a PC.
One way to get around the problem is to make a zip file of your folder
using Stuffit:

There's a free version for expanding stuffit files, but I couldn't find
a free version for stuffing them. It used to be called Stuffit Lite.
Maybe that went away when Allume was purchased by Smith Micro.

Hi,
Earlier today, i coppied a bunch of directories of mp3s from a mac to my USB
flash drive. When I got home and looked at the drive from my windows box, the
directory structure and properties seemed to look OK, yet when looking at the
actual files, only one file seemed to be the proper size. To clarify, i had a
directory which was an album, and the size of the directory was approximately
47 Mb. The songs inside, aside from the last one were 82 bites for file size
and 16 K for size on disk, under the properties. I'm curious as to what I've
done or am doing wrong in either copying or attempting to view these files.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks.
Thanks
