Is this normal?
OK I just reformatted my MP3 player and cleaned things up. So it's now empty, no music loaded on it. Then took a look at from Nautilus, this is what "Properties" tells me:
Player is 2GB capacity.
Contents: 7 files totalling 8.9 MB
8.9 MB used
1.8 GB free
Total capacity 1.9GB
File System MS DOS
Something doesn't add up here? 200 MB for the formatting??Last edited by oxf; 05-21-2010 at 12:50 AM.

What about the software for playing your collection? Is that supposed to be on a Chip? What about firmware? I know on my Sansa Fuze, when I updated the firmware, I just dropped a .bin file to the root partition and I never deleted that .bin file, perhaps yours is similar?

The software must be on chip I think. Thinking about it, it seem to make sense now much in line with the actual available space on say a 2GB flash
