Imagine the next situation:
I'm at my hobbycorner: switching between computer/cardreader and KN7000.
SDcard in cardreader, card out, keyboard in, keyboard out, cardreader in, reading in computer, card out, card in and so on. Many will recognize this situation.
My beloved wife brings me a cup of coffee and a biscuit.
So the next situation: SDScard in,SDcard out, a draft coffee, SDcard in keyboard, card out keyboard, a bite of my biscuit, card in cardreader, card out cardreader, put it in on my desk. Take a draft of coffee AND PUT THE SD-CARD IN MY MOUTH...
It could have been an expensive biscuit. So I warn you for this little devil . I never had this problem with floppies...
Be warned,
Cees

Cees,
Interesting that you thought how small the SD is. My friends with the 7000 have had the same conversation. So much work in such a tiny little package (biscuit).

Attended a workshop by a Technics Rep and he had his SD card on a chain around his neck. Loss was also his concern. One card for playing and a CD or another SD for backup is a must for me. (I don't trust computer hard drives....lost to many)

Cees - Could have been worse - you could have plugged the SD card into the coffee or plugged the coffee into the KN7000

Hi Fran and Bill,
i love those humourous reactions Bill. That's was also the intension of my post. But Fran, you got a point. I'v a digital camera with 2 CF-cards. I'v lost 1 of them, luckily the smallest tiny (now it's going complicated ), for reason they are so tiny.
So it will be a nightmare if I should have a tiny, hundreds of euro's, 4GB SD-card
I'v notices that with my big fingers its sometimes difficult to get grip on the tiny SD-card to lift it out of the slot on the KN7. (Or don't drink again...) I even wonder if this new construction is solid enought for coming years. We will see....
Greetings,
Cees.

Hi Cees
I suppose that's one way of digesting all your songs in one go.. Whatever you do though, don't start sticking stamps on envelopes at the same time - not unless you stick the 'blue' one on an envelope addresses to me
On a slightly more serious note. I had reached 33% of a 128Mb - then last night whilst putting some more files on, the space remaining is OK, but the space used has suddenly started to count from 0% again - Anybody experienced anything similar?????????

Hi John, I haven't experienced any troubles with any of my SD cards but I don't like the sound of that!! I trust you have a backup on PC of the card's content (knowning you, you probably have). Can you still read the card in the KN7000 or card reader? Maybe try a re-format and then transfer the data back to the card. I make a backup of my cards to PC at least once a week - Paranoia or what

Hi Bill
Yes, like you, I'm backing up at least once a week.(Belt and Braces ) I wont risk the re-format at the moment until a new SD card arrives - then I'll transfer my latest back up onto the new card then try the reformat of the 128Mb card.
I've ordered a 256Mb (SanDisk) through e-bay which is en route from the US at a cost of £89 + postage (£4.99). If any UK members want details, drop me a line.

John, the same thing happened to me. In fact it happens several times as you fill the 128 mb card. Not to worry, though. Everything still works OK. My 128 mb card is full and it works fine. I think it's just a minor software problem with the KN7000.

Mmmmmmm.. I'm glad I'm a simple minded soul and just play my Kn7000 without resort to chewing up, or even using the sd card. Cometo think of it, I haven't seen my card since the day the 7000 arrived...

Hi Ogre, According to your profile, one of your interests is aquiring new styles. Just out of interest, where do you store them? Surely not on Floppy
