Hi all,
When I attach this player to the Mac, to drag and drop mp3 files, I don't understand what the finder is telling me about the space left on the player. It tells me that I have 2.2mb of space but if I delete a large file on the player, say 500mb, it still tells me I only have 2.2mb of space. Could anyone throw any light on this.
The Zen is FAT16 format.

Confused (again)

Empty the trash and see what happens.

thanks Eric559,
I guess as a mac newcomer, this is just one of those differences from windows?

i'm surprised you got the thing to show up properly on your mac to begin with. my sandisk player is nearly useless when attached to my macbook.

Your welcome.

Yeah that's the way Mac OS is. I found it bothersome at first but now it's not a big deal. Works the same way with USB flash drives and external drives too.
