Upon transfer, the Fuze does manipulate the freshly transferred files a bit. If you transfer a video, there’s a wee thm file with a screen capture. If you transfer an audio file with “podcast” in the genre field, the Sansa “steals” this file over to the podcast folder.
I’ve wondered if making a large transfer of music files “en masse” overwhelms the process a wee bit, as several users have reported.
I’m not sure how this explains why the Fuze chooses to re-read the microSD card when just the internal memory’s contents have been modified.
It seems like the firmware’s algorithm is basically “if anything has changed, re-read everything”. Apparently it DOES know that some media has changed. It just doesn’t know what, or where. Unlike the Sansa Connect.
