alexpgpVeering into a small run of previously encountered sentences made the work go a little faster, but the main part of the project is all over (but for the depeckling).
I sent my defective Sansa e260 in for warranty service on May 5, and just got the replacement unit via UPS today, putting the lie to SanDisk's claim - in an email of May 9, that it would take 5-7 days to rustle up a replacement and send it to me. >grin< The package appears to be a standard retail package and includes earphones, case, strap and - second in importance only to the unit itself! - an interface cable. The unit itself looks brand spanking new, which is certainly nice. I've just plugged it in, to allow it to gather some charge.
More later, maybe, as it turns out the unit is already charged!
UPDATE: The good news is that apparently, they sent me a newer V2 model of the e260. This means I can download stuff from Audible.com directly onto the unit without having to make an MP3 copy first to accommodate my iPod (which only works "natively" with Audible via iTunes, which I won't run).
The bad news is that the firmware version was out of date and the updating software wants to run every time I start my machine (fat chance). However, the software has done its job, so I'm happy.
Cheers...
