        Hello.  Try renaming the file "junk" and then moving it to a directory
called "bad" in the root.  Then, retransfer the file to the proper folder
with the transfer utility.  This ought to work, and the bad spot on your
flash card won't be re-used because it's still held by the bad file in
question.
You may need to also delete the ._IX file associated with the bad audio
file.
Good luck.
