Internal memory plus a 2GB expansion card of my SE, show 485 ‘songs’ in Settings, System Info. And that include some 30 min long audio books. So with an 8GB card, ‘song’ limit 1000 will easily be reached. A serious drawback.
In July 2007, SanDisk Technical Support admitted, “There is currently a limitation in the firmware that only allows up to a 1000 songs to be recognized by the player.”
SanDisk Technical Support also promised, “This will be rectified in a firmware update.”
Till this problem is fixed, I can’t see SanDisk Corporation selling many 8GB cards on the back of this upgrade.
