How many files does it take to get 8MB?? how long are the path names??  
What is the OS you are trying to have a massive headache with??

Watch the path names, Windoze has a hell of a time dealing with  
certain length file names, which include path names. Also the player  
is prolly formatted as Fat32 and has a finite number of files.
