Hi Neil,
This is not a file size issue at all. I had the same problem, as I say,
with Torch Trust files, but they very quickly fixed it.
All the best

HI Andrew, Dawn & Steve -
First, to confirm what Andrew first reported on this list - there is a
problem in transferring, at least some, of the TNAUK Daisy compilations to
the BC - note these compilations are intended for the Victor Daisy player
and we have no reports of problems using them on this device.
My feeling is that it is a file size problem - I was sent a single
compilation of the Economist (about 30MB) - that loaded onto the BC with no
problem, but the News and Current Affairscompilation I tried (TNAUK number
603), which is over 700MB in size, results in the request noted by ANdrew to
enter a non-existant additional disk.
I'll talk to Heathfield on Monday to see where we go on this.
Best,
Neil.
