You can get up to 16 gig flash drives if you needed it. I have one, and they're
not that expensive for the amount of flash memory you're getting. you can get a
Corsair 16gb flash drive from ebay for around $150.

Gord, you make me lol. You must be so swamped with e-mail. I wrote this over a
week ago :).
Buy yourself an 8GB flashdisk (they have those), and encode your MP3 files in
mono. No one will care that the in-between music through the PA is in mono.
However, when encoding in mono, you can get very good sound quality at
64-80Kbps.

Tell me about it. I just had a 40gb portable hard drive quit on me with all my
playlists that I use for in between sets on it, among other things.
Unfortunately, they don't make flash disks that big yet. I could get by with
10gb or so for my mp3 library though.

No, there is nothing that you can do about it. XP won't let you format hard
drives as FAT. You can only use FAT as a file system on flash disks, and, I
think, floppies.
You might be able to get the Motif to format the hard drive. You'd do this from
File mode on the Motif. I have no idea how this works, though.
This is one reason why I encourage people to use flash disks. Also, if you'll
be taking your data with you on a gig, a flash disk is a much more road worthy
piece of equipment. Most of them can be dropped, left in direct sunlight, and
washed with out breaking. Neither hard drives nor CD/DVDs will hold up like
that.

Hi list members, As you well know, i have a u s b hard drive. The problem is
that i only seem to be able to get ntfs as the format of choice. I'm not sure
if there is anything that i can do about it. This is the format option that
shows. There are no other format choices available The other thing is that
when the new hard wizard starts, i don't have a choice. Could there be
something that i'm missing? If so, please let me know. Thank you.
