The size of the source folder from which music files have been ripped has exceeded the available Flash memory in the recorder.When this occurs, the directory in the recorder runs out of sufficient space to complete the directory entries for the excess music tracks. Some tracks must be deleted to free up space in the memory.

Connect the recorder to the computer. In My Computer, right-click on the Removable Disk that represents the recorder and click on [Properties]. The display shows the amount of Used Space and Free Space in the recorder's memory. Note how much space needs to be freed up and exit Properties. Double-click on the Removable Disk and open a voice folder or MUSIC folder. Delete tracks until sufficient free space has been created.

Hope that is helpful.
