IANA or on the contact details for the .nr TLD. So, I'd be *very*
careful about connecting to it if there was anything critical on the
computer I used to connect with. Especially as it's offering valuable
services for free.
From the Mozilla Wiki list of TLDs:-
"co.nr is not a official TLD, but acts like one"
http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/nr.html
is the IANA page relating to Nauru.
Maybe I'm paranoid. Maybe it's a malware infested site. I'd rather I
didn't find out the hard way, especially as I didn't recognise the TLD,
which is apparently assigned to a small island (Nauru).
I shall now run all my malware detecting programs, if you don't mind.

dollars, & if your site name is xxxxx.co, that'd look like .co.nr.
It's definitely spam, I was just worried whether it's clean spam or
dirty spam.
The island's not much to look at on Google Earth either, it seems to
make its living selling Phosphate, AKA guano, AKA bird droppings.
Now, back to the normal service....
Can I use a Zoom H2 for wildtrack FX recordings? ;-)
jean-daniel dodin
> Can I use a Zoom H2 for wildtrack FX recordings? ;-)
why not :-)
I only have problems with the finger scratch noise and the need to
press a button twice to get the record run :-)
jdd
(NB: and why no sd device use the same folder layout! palm, phone,
zoom, any device need it's own folders on the card, so one can't use
same card from one device to the other!)

to put it into record standby, then again to record *does* make it
harder to get a false start. The 2 second prerecord buffer's very useful
though. :-)

To make sure that you format the card in the unit you're going to use it
in, so you're pretty sure the card's a good one & compatible with the
unit it's in.

well my old sony recorder had only one button press so from time to
time I lose a take... lmy fault

very impressive, I like also the 3 ticks before starting the record :-)

insane in our days... and so we need a lot of card, whit very little
room to write more than a number on them...

using the menu, then I press the record button, verify there's
reasonable quality sound, then start recording when I'm ready.

It's a handy device, no doubt about it.

It's either that or take a chance on whether that particular card will
work with that particular unit without accidentally overwriting old
data. Better safe than sorry, in my opinion. Formatting a card before
use, which is a deliberate action, takes a few seconds, as against
losing previously written data that you really wanted to keep. That can
take *hours* to rectify, even if it's possible, as my impressive
collection of flash memory recovery programs will testify.

nowaday *all* units can read fat32... and I *never* format a card,
most of the time the card size is must greater than necessary, and I
keep the old file on it as a backup. I only remove them if room lacks.

ths SD card reader built into my laptop, which will only read FAT16.
All of my units that use SD card format the file system as readable
under FAT, but they need a particular directory structure to work. Bad
or lazy programming? Or just a way to make sure that they "Just work"
for most users?

It's done by the unit firmware, which doesn't always check for existing
files. Bad programming, but it happens. At least FAT filesystemscan
usually be recovered.
As for the cards being big enough, I nearly filled a 4 Gigabyte SD card
in one recording session with the H2 a while ago. Not that unusual for
me when I'm recording background for later use. Just turn it on & let it
run at 24 bit, 96KHz, surround mode. The H2 comes with a 512Mb card, as
you know. Full in 45 minutes or so, if you're recording CD quality stereo.
By the way, I don't use Linux due to hardware problems, but:-

For ext2 & ext3 filesystems.

it's precisely this fact I find astounding. All card are fat32 (I
pretty sure, yours are, certainly if they are 1Gb or more-I use none
smaller :-), but many device systems can't read them if they don't
have just the folders they need. This is simply stupid on our days...

extremely lazy programming. users should shout against this :-!

I know, I don't even remember where this card is... and I most buy for
1gb micro cards, compatible with my phone & any other stuff and nearly
similar price now.

I know, very bad idea. one should be used to never use a trash can.
deleting a file should be unrecoverable. Some time you *have* to
delete files.
some years ago I was given for experiment a computer previously owned
by a secretary of my company. If I had published the list of porno
files I found on it, she wouls have died of shame :-))) and I just
have a Jazz disk full of games forgotten by god only knows who :-))

external reader I've tried will read cards over 2Gig, & that talks both
FAT16 and FAT32.

All the ones over 2Gig have to be. The ones 2Gig or under that I use are
all FAT16.
According to my recovery programs & the data sheets of the devices, anyway.

Why? I use, as do many other people that I know, a card for each camera,
a card for the H2 & a card for each phone, all readable from & writeable
to on the laptop. I have a couple of spare blank cards I carry round, &
it takes seconds to format a spare card to use in whatever I need it
for. If that card is deliberately not easily usable in another device,
the possibility of errors is reduced in daily use, especially for users
who aren't happy with computers, or have more important things on their
mind than how the data is written to storage.
However, if you format a card in, say, a Fuji camera, it can be used in
some other cameras, they just make the directories they need. Exceptions
do exist, but they're there to tie the user in to that maker's system.
I had some grief with an Olympus camera (XD card) last year over this.
You have to use the camera with the maker's driver & cable to access the
card. XD cards from a Fuji camera are accessible via a normal reader
under FAT.
Windows based PDAs I've used all use FAT16, Zoom H2 uses FAT16 or 32
according to size, with a required directory structure. Once the card's
been formatted in the H2, though, music files can be added to the
existing directories & played back.

Mine's in the box for use when I upgrade the firmware. I usually buy
2Gig SD cards for my devices, as they work, they're reasonably
physically robust & they're cheap per Megabyte.

If a user hits the wrong button, it's handy to be able to recover the
file. I had to recover a complete hard drive for someone who did just
that recently. If a file needs deleting completely, then there are tools
for that.
When I dispose of a machine, I either use a proper disk cleaning
program, or physically smash the HD.

It wasn't one of mine, obviously. ;-)
If a machine leaves my posssession, it's as clean as I can make it, with
a freshly installed OS.

A post not terribly relevant to a movie sound recording group,
apparently using a strange TLD not officially listed as valid, promoting
a service letting people watch copyrighted material for free, (unless
you're selling advertising on the site). Seems at least vaguely spamlike
to me.
<Shrug>
I'll turn down the opportunity, thanks.
