I am new to PDA's, and have a X50V that I purchased last October. I am putting MP3 files onto my 2G SD card. The files are generally 128 bit rate, and about 4-5 MB in size. I put about 125 files on the card, but when I try to add more, I get a message that the disk is full. It seems that these files should take up at most 600 MB. I have not put any other files on the SD card. Am I doing something wrong? I expected to be able to put many more files than this. At 2G, an average of 5 MB per song, there should be about a 400 song capacity.

Please give me some advice.
Thanks.
How are you adding the MP3 files to the card? It is generally faster and easier to use a USB card reader than any software or sync method.

I have my X50 in the cradle, connected to my PC via USB. From folders on my computer, I'm copying and pasting into the SD folder that comes up when I click on the pocket pc icon when I click on my computer, and then c: drive. When I use my file explorer on the X50V, it lists the files and size. It lists the MP3 files at most 5 MB. Should this still allow about 400 songs? @g/5 mb = 400? I'm only getting 125. Can I convert the MP3 files to wma w/ the windows media player program?

Get a card reader Ativesync is slow and cubersome to transfer that many files
Be sure your placeing the files on a directory on the SDcard and not the root of the card other wise it wont work because of Fat limitations
use file explorer and create a directory
and BTW dont reformat your card unless you know how to do it do a search first here

I choose WMA @ 96 bitrate. I can't tell the difference between a CD and this file. I'm not sure you should convert your MP3's to WMA, that will be double compression. But if you have the original CD, give it a try.

The original problem may be related to the number of files. There is a limit to how many can be held in a single directory and be read by the PPC. I actually thought the limit was 256 but it may be less. The 'disk full' is a typical response in this situation.
If copying with a card reader still doesn't let you see the files, try setting up another folder to move some of the fles into.

Where on the disk are you putting them? If you are putting them in the root there is a definite limitation to the numbers. If you put them in a subdirectory, no limit. I personally put almost 2G worth of MP3's on my card regularly.

That's the same with me. There is a limit to how many folders/files you can have in a single directory.

Great point - the limit in the root is 512 I think. But it will be substantially less if you are using long file names (more than the standard 8.3). And these days everyone does :)
