What is the recommended number of meg/gig of music to be uploaded to the player (Freshly reformatted and clean drives)? I have a total of about 25 gig that I could put on, and my combined drives are 30 gig (a 20 and a 10).
Thanks (and thanks to everyone on their assistance with my recent player problems!

The point is to have less backtracking to do if something goes wrong.

Yeah, like why I am doing this for now anyway...after my recent stupidity....er trouble....
Thanks Tony....btw...do you have the entire FAQ memorized?!?

From what I understand, he's resonably familiar with it.

I would like to add one comment, though. When rebuilding from drive upgrades, I have successfully sync'ed an entire player's worth of data (up to 200GB) in one very long sync session.

The only limitation I have found is based on the number of playlists. There appears to be a fixed amount of playlists that can be uploaded before emplode (or the player, I never bothered to figure out which) crashes. You may want to batch your playlists, especially if you are doing a lot of them at one time. But I have not seen a limit with the number of mp3 files you can send at one time.

Granted, small batches are always better in case something goes wrong. But if you want to do a "set it and forget it" type of upload, you can.

I routinely make 30-40GB syncs on my 140GB player with no problems.
