I don't understand this advice. I use two different mp3-type players, both for listening to audio books from audible.com, and also for mp3 music files. All I do is plug the devices into my computer's USb port in order to copy files onto them or delete files from them, and unplug them from that port when I'm ready to use them for listening to those files. There isn't any required procedure involving removing hardware each time I simply disconnect them in order to use them. It sounds as if you're recomminding recommending some sort of uninstall procedure. Is this what you mean? Thanks, Daniel You wrote: Just remember to use the safely remove hardware button that will show up in your system tray before you unplug the player from your PC. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
