There is another variation. One podcaster just plugged all up, turned it on made a couple of sound pathway changes and started cranking out podcasts. Boop. Just like that. No idea what was special about his setup, but once a moon phase that works for someone—and not for anybody else. http://reellife...

I got nothing. The only thing I can think of that might give troubles like that is the formatting on the thumb drive. They do have formatting. They are little hard drives in silicon. If the unit is really old or formatted in a way that doesn't support the files, you will lose. One other thing as I t...
