Ebay / Cheap Chinese MP3 players warning
 

I bought a 2GB usb mp3 drive on ebay. It showed up as 2GB but in windows and played files but kept crashing. I reformatted the drive and its come back 256mb :o/

These cheap mp3 players and ipod copies are a scam - They are rigging the disk so it reports a higher capacity but it will go wrong when you try and put files over what the chip realy is, when you reformat to fix it goes back to the real capacity!

that sounds more than a joke

Thanks for the info.

When you said Chinese MP3 Players, it sounded suspect right away.
Sorry you got stung, but thanks for the heads up!

thats what I would expect
