Hi Dave,
I've found similar problems to yours when trying to get tracks onto the CF
card in my Newt. The most reliable way so far has been to use the iTunes
plug-in but it still takes a very long time (typically 5-8 times the
playing time) to get a track in. It's also prone to errors, hanging,
crashing etc.
At the moment I can't say I find it very usable because of the huge
download time.
Don't get me wrong. I really am a fan of the whole MadMax thing (pretty
much everything Ek does) and have nothing but praise for Paul's ATA driver,
it's a brilliant piece of work, but the combination of the two along with
multi meg files still doesn't make the Newt a great MP3 player.
Cheers.
Andy.
