That's great if file names can be converted, I will have to look at that.. like for converting all my old file as UTF-8 But just wondering, how are displayed UTF-8 under windows? are they well displayed? > Does Linux view the iRiver as a hard disk, a file server or something > else?

Yep, I just mount my iRiver as a normal 20Go HDD thourh my USB post /dev/sda1 > It seems that for some reason you have to give parameters > to mount to tell it which encoding to translate to.

Yep I would have think that :D > Björn Persson Thxs for all those info Björn Regards Ludovic ______________________________________ http://www.mythTVtalk.com (Now Open!!!)
