I've read that many folks have problemos w/8gb flash drives, & the
recommendation is that 4gb is the largest size that works relatively
reliably. Note the word relatively lol.
Interestingly, I'm using a USB card reader & a 4gb sd card & thus far
it has worked very well lol. I didn't think the standard player had a
USB connection? I just requested a player from my library--didn't know
about standard or advanced--& they sent me an advanced 1 lol. I guess
when I started talkin' about downloading stuff from the internet,
etc., they figured they may as well (or probably had better if they
didn't want a complaining patron) lol.
