The stock firmware will run into library limitations apparently.I haven't confirmed this personally) into my computer, and copied over all (the Rockbox folders included) its files on its hard drive over to the newly formatted iFlash drive. I plugged my already Rockboxed iRiver H320 ( Note: you need to make sure you are using Rockbox.Using a drive formatter, I deleted all partitions and formatted the drive to FAT32.That doesn't matter, you don't need to close it up, you just need the interface. Note: the iFlash is too big for the enclosure I got. I popped my microSD cards into the iFlash Adaptor, added the 4th Gen iPod adaptor and put it into the hard drive enclosure.These are cheap-ish and fairly easily found on eBay and Amazon. I ordered a hard drive enclosure that would work with the 4th Gen iPod interface as well.The interface is the same as the one required by the iRiver H320. I ordered the iFlash adaptor for using the iFlash with 4th Gen iPods.Any one of their offerings should work though (the SD version, the CF version, etc, etc.) I ordered the iFlash Quad MicroSD adaptor for iPods.I took it upon myself to figure out something using readily available parts that should be available for a long time to come. I purchased a mint condition H320 on eBay, but knew I would soon be frustrated by the hard drive, both its limited size and the fact that it isn't solid state.I did a little research and found it surprisingly hard to get a consistently used method of upgrading these players. I decided to explore vintage players and after a while started looking at the iRiver H320 and the H340. Sound quality, UI issues, and excessive pricing were frustrating me, and I don't like using my phone as a DAP (battery life, sound quality, etc, etc.).

Does anyone have any idea at all how I can get this to work? I could just switch to a single 400GB card, but that kind of defeats the purpose have having the quad adapter plus I already HAVE these two cards.I was recently looking for a DAP alternative to the current offerings out there. It seems to be syncing up to ONE of the cards successfully and then losing track of all of the stuff that it puts on the second card. I've narrowed the issue down to the fact that MediaMonkey can not and will not synchronize with a JBOD drive system. What good would the 8 different "Top Played" playlists I made be then!?! It took about 9 hours, but IT WORKED! The problem is, I just don't like their interface as much and I DO NOT want to lose my TENS OF THOUSANDS of play count plays. Imported my library, failing to keep a single play count for any of my songs. I mean, it's been nearly a decade time to try something new, right? I did about 5 hours of research and decided on MusicBee. I got fed up after 4 days of failed syncing attempts and decided that I was going to just switch programs. This means that formatting wasn't and isn't the issue.

It's important to note that through-out this entire process, after the initial restore with iTunes, Windows Explorer, Paragon Disk Manager, iTunes, MediaMonkey, and a few other programs all showed that I had 366GB of usable space. I even tried separately reformatting both cards as FAT32 drives, as recommended on the iFLASH page.
Afterwards, a portion of the music would be shown as "Other" rather than music. Every time that I tried to sync, it would get to a random amount of music successfully synced and then freeze up. The entire (LOOONNNNNNNG) process was attempted from a fresh restore 3 more times with similar results. I clicked auto-sync again and it added about a thousand more songs then froze again. I closed it and tried again and the display at the bottom of the Summary page for my iPod then said something like 25GB of other files and 95GB of music. After that addition was done, I repeated the steps of "restoring" the iPod with iTunes and then tried to re-sync it with MediaMonkey. Last week, I was near to filling that 186GB (2.4GB free) of formatted space and decided that it was time to buy and add a second 200GB card to my iPod. It synced faster, ran longer, weighed literally half as much and was just better. I initially put the board in with a single 200GB MicroSD card and it worked flawlessly. Rather than spending $100 on another HD, I decided to try iFLASH's HD replacement kits specifically the iFlash-Quad, a 4 MicroSD hard drive replacement board. I've been running MediaMonkey for about a decade now and had few issues.Ībout 2 years ago, I got my 7G 160GB iPod wet and killed the HD in it.
