Ah ! Thanks folks ! ,
I Now have left free space 243mb and I have stored 358 tracks to date
on this 2 gig zen v, I do have some hefty rock tracks on this beast
inc some floyd, zep and some long winded general rock classics etc , I
am begining to see the light ! when they say 1000 tracks they mean very
short tracks !!!!!!.
Next time I invest I will purchase as big as I can afford , this
machine will do for the time being untill gig size and price drops ....
