Description
The settings.dat file, a key system
file, is stored in the root folder of flash
memory. When this file is not stored
properly, or deleted/damaged during
file transfer, malfunctions may occur.
iAUDIO uses the FAT file system. Due to
the limitations of FAT, you are advised not to
store many files in the root folder.
