Hello,
i have noticed that my computer copies files to a flash or memory card and after a few minutes or few seconds of usage the files have errors. i have tried with music files and as soon as i start playing them the media player give error that the codecs used to compress them are unknown or file format is not supported. i wonder because the original files in the HD are all error free and they play well.
