Why not eliminate Auto-Defect mode?

If it defaulted to MSC, then it wouldn’t matter if the guy with XP was still using WMP9 or not, or of the Ubuntu guy plugged it in, or even the Mac guy, right? I would think that MSC would be as close as you can get to plug and play.

The default setting in Europe for the Fuze is MSC.

I read a lot of reviews and the user manual before I got my Fuze, and I can’t remember where I saw it (is it in the manual)? But yes, I’m in the UK, and it was in MSC mode out - of - the - box (firmware 02.01.09F). I had to find out the difference between MSC and MTP (I’dd never heard of either) before I got the player, so I knew I needed MSC, and the first thing I did was go to ‘Settings’ to change the mode - but didn’t need to.

When I updated to 02.02.26 - it was still in MSC, didn’t change to autodetect.

I wonder why they make this difference between Europe/USA?
