Hi there,

/three/ week ago I wrote the following EMail. Not getting at least a simple

reply from your company really disappoints me (not only regarding to the

wasted time writing english email I feel stultified, too). Well, perhaps it's

time so bring the stick back home and share my experiences with your company

and your product with friends at office, in my circle of friends and last but

not least the internet.

...and here we go again:

I bought this nice MamboX MP3/USB-Stick some weeks ago. The most time I'm

very happy with it - just uploading new mp3s drives me nearly mad.

I primary bought this stick because of the little mark "works with linux" on

the box. I was amused. Well, I tried to upload or manage files with serveral

Linux-Distributions (all up to date), WinXP, Win2000 and last but not least

Win98Se. On all Systems I can access the stick but nearly every 6th file I'm

uploading or downloading ends up in garbage I formatted the stick several

times with Fat16 via Linux, Windows and the stick's selfformat itself. It's

always the same - file garbage when make us of the stick.

Using the integrated delete-function causes errors straight to the whole

filesystem damaging all files. Well, even format with /dev/random would make

more efficient data-garbage

Currently I formatted the stick with Win2000 Fat16 and see what happend: The

stick's config file can't be rewritten. I have to configure all stick

settings on every launch! Sure, the file comes back using the integrated

format-function, but this will cause even more file damage while copy my

beloved mp3s back (Hey, I tried this several times using the linux-tool "dd"

writing bit per bit, after this I used the linux-tool "diff" comparing the

files bit per bit => I got screens full of error-bits!).

Well, I hoped to find something about this on your website - perhaps a new

firmware? Now I'm scared googling through the internet and reading similar

storys and problems from other MamboX-Users :-( I'm close to bring the stick

back to the store - the only thing is holding me is the last hope of a patch

for this problem from you. I really love the design of the stick - small and

very handy.

Greetings from Germany

Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht? Über eventuelle Antworten informiere ich hier. Google entnehme ich allerdings, dass diese Firma, wenn sie einmal antwortet, im Wesentlichen nur etwas in der Richtung "Wie, Fehler? Nicht bei uns!" schreibt.
