    If you suspect the card to be a fake, you probably have a smaller generic chip which has been hardcoded to present itself as having 1.94GB to any device it is inserted into. It's not difficult to fool a camera/mobile phone/psp, if you know the technology. If you try to fill the memory stick with 1.94GB of actual information, then attempt to access it after a short period of time, you'll probably find that there are all kinds of file corruption errors... because the gadget was fooled into thinking that there was more free space on the memory stick, than there actually was.

    This doesn't always happen, but there's a good chance that it will. It's hit & miss.

    well 1.92GB was transferred via Windows Explorer and the figures on either side matched without any storage errors or rejecting due to lack of space. Having sampled about 200 of the 427 tracks I'm either being lucky or have a decent fake
