My 4GB Clip is about 18 months old. I recently reformatted and updated to the latest firmware after checking the site because of a problem, and it seemed to be working fine. I hadn’t completely restored my music directory yet, so there was only a couple of hundred MB of WMA files in it, and also another 300 MB or so of MP3 podcasts (“podcast” being MP3 from iTunes but also full audiobooks from librivox.org which are generally several hundred MB of chapter files in MP3 format, but are not “Audible.com” audiobooks for that directory.) All my other Clip directories were empty.
I run XP Home on my computer. I have the Clip set to MSC mode and don’t use any playlists or other features to organize content aside from the built in menus.
Just this morning I went to delete old and add new podcasts (a couple of those librivox books) I’d downloaded to the PC, by dragging and dropping across Explorer windows. Suddenly Explorer stopped and said the disk was full. I right-clicked the Explorer Properties for the Clip disk and sure enough it showed a completely full 4GB disk. I knew for a fact there was only about 1GB of data on it but it showed full.
I’ve done a reformat and reset everything, but it’s obviously a big nuisance, and I would really would like to know what might have caused the problem and how to avoid it. Any help appreciated.
