Oh yeah, I really let my email get behind. Well, I do my tracks in stereo
there, and they have the speakers spread out nice so when you sit at the bar
you can really hear the separation. How big are those disks. ALso, I don't
want to have to go through my entire mp3 collection and lower the bit rate.

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.
