Hey, I got hold of a 512 MB card and a card reader– the player recognizes that the card is 512 MB, but doesn’t seem to read files uploaded past the halfway mark. So it seems that only 256 MB of data on the card will be seen by the player. So much for that.

Subject: your weblog and virgin pulse

hi there,
i came acorss your weblog-and therefore, your email address-by doing a google search involving virgin pulse, 128mb, sd, and some other terms. i have the same virgin 128mb mp3 player as you, and i love it, as well. a question for you, however: have you ever tried using an sd card larger than 256mb in it? i was wondering if this would work (either using the bigger card, but only 256mb of space, or letting you use the entire card’s worth (all 512, 1gb, etc)) worth of storage?

i’ve called virgin pulse, and although they were extremely nice about it, they couldn’t answer my question. can you think of any firmware issue that would prevent this, or have you tried it yourself? thanks in advance for any insight you can offer. cheers, melvyn brown
