Ok. If you could send me the file that follows the first one you sent, I
could try that. I loaded a folder with 30 MP3 files directly with a card
reader using the same MP3 format as yours, and so far, they are playing
fine.

Rob,
Hi. I have somewhere in the range of 30-40 files in the
folder. However, the problem occurs when advancing from the file I
sent you to the next file. Playing from the preceding file, there is
no problem. Perhaps I also need to send you the file that follows that
one.
As I have no patience for downloading audio through the transfer
software, I put mp3 files on the flash card using a USB 2.0 card
reader.
Cheers,
Andrew.
