I don't think there is a hard and fast rule about exactly how many files =
may appear in a folder. It depends on many factors including your card's =
cluster size, file name lengths, the speed of the card.
I guess the only real rule is that when you start noticing sluggishness, =
don't add any more files to that folder.
One thing you can do to help improve the situation is to use the Book =
Port's format command to prepare your card.

Scott,
You might experiment a little. I've had great success with 30 or so MP3s =
in
a single folder. I have had up to 50 with no trouble. I did have trouble
when I first was loading 125 or more in a single folder.
Rock on.
Rich
