To anyone out there trying to use one of these, and having trouble: I would be thrilled to share any of my experiences or observations if you would do the same when and if you can. I'm currently stuck trying to transfer and convert files with a card reader. The reader recognizes the files, and I can copy them to my hard drive, but I can't get them back on a card. And I'm having little luck converting the files to WAV (I thought they would be in MIDI!). -email me; I'm Steve-
