I was looking forward to much faster transfer rates to the families' 4 mp3 players. My old PC had only usb1 and used XP. My new PC has vista with usb2 - result - a slow down in transfer times by something like 5 - 10 times on all mp3 players. Please fix this. Sunday, January 27, PM.

XP machine: Copies the file fine when directly connected to the machine. Vista Machine: When directly connected to the machine the file copies slowly, and eventually the system will stop copying, the thumb drive will unmount, and would react as though I pulled it out of the drive.

Vista Machine connected to a Powered Hub : The file copies faster than I have seen it copy, and the entire file copies completely. Also another peculiar note. If I connect the Flash drive to the laptop, then I plug the powered USB hub into another port of the Vista computer, it will allow the copy to go through, But the moment I disconnect the Powered hub, the copy process will slow and will eventually fail.
