The situation differs depending on how you use the device. If you send
a file through Book Port Transfer, it will instantly become two files,
and will become three files the first time you begin reading it. If you
copy a file to the card, and of course this can only be done with MP3
files, it will be just the original file until you begin reading it,
when it will become two files.

Hi, thanks for the info. Are these extra files also created if you
just
transfer files to your card without going through the BP transfer
program?
