"Duplicates", SD Cards (and the Zire 71?)

[Greg D'Unger]

I have posted elsewhere about problems with Categories and duplicate file entries. While iSilo knows of some issues related to this, I have come to the conclusion that these problems are entirely due to the Zire 71 and its poor handling of SD card recognition - and this is the case even with the Zire71SDPatch2 applied.

I think all users of iSilo and the Zire 71 who have multiple SD cards they swap in and out (and possibly only one card which gets swapped in and out ocassionally) will see this problem. I would like to hear from similar users if they see this problem.

The problem manifests itself as duplicate listings of files that reside on SD cards.
If you check the Information for each file, you will see that one file resides on a 'real' SD card while the other resides on some card you have never formatted - mine say "Card 1".

iSilo gets mixed marks in handling this case. The two files work (with the 'real' card inserted) - complete with separate histories, but I think iSilo should not let me open "Card 1" files at all. Delete Special : Synchronize DB Entries seems to clean up the problem after it occurs.

Please reply if you have a similar experience.

I think the problem not only Zire 71 that I don't have but my T3 also has similiar problem. My solution is to buy a 1 gig SD card so you don't need to
swap in and out SD card content. Another solution for me is no trouble to delete duplicate files occurred there.

hmm... that's what I thought and I bought a 1 gig card to cure the occurance of this... but now I'm getting a second 1 gig card. :eek: :rolleyes: Mybe I should start pruning my library instead. :D

You can use Dupe Checker PRO 6.0 (http://atory.com/download/dupe_checker_pro.exe) to remove undesired dupes from your flash drives! This program allows use to search for dupes on any file source. Futhermore you can compare files on your flash drive with files on your hard drive... Quite convenient tool as you synchronize your "pocket" with PC frequently...

I use my SD card with mp3 player.
I found better tool for mp3 duplicates elimination -
