Unfortunately, there's no set number, or no way to answer that, as it will
vary, depending on the length of file names, the size of the file, number of
files, etc. However, based on Book Ports that I have examined that come back
for repair, I'd say 20 or 30. Also, if they are audio files, you'll see this
more often.

Hello,
What is the ball park figure as having the number of files in a folder so
that performance is not hindered?

It slows things down, and never have too many files in one folder. This is
bad in general, but it is magnified with a 4gb card. All that is true,
however, if you can get your BP to work in the first place. With seemingly
no rhyme or reason, the BP will start or not start with the card inserted. I
guess it all boils down to how you treat it; if you make it mad, it has its
own way of getting you back (then again, what computer doesn't?)
Have a great day,
Alex
