That is interesting.  The resident files are mp3 files with descriptive,
meaningful filenames, i.e. quite long ones.  I would mess about with
this (briefly, of course) at work, but the case design of my work
computer implies a "vga out||USB card-reader" relationship, which is a
slight problem.  Thanks for the tips.

The card is brand new, so if there is a problem I might be able to do
something about it.
