RE: [Harp-L] H2 Observation

["Bradford Trainham" <bradford.trainham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's a good tip for me as... 
In getting to know my own H2, I've had to go the card reader route in
transferring files because, until I get some sighted assistance with the
menus, I can't manage the operation with the H2 directly connected to the
Pc. 
(When we do such things, our speech software is often confused by the
presence of a USB audio device and begins "talking" to that device.)
But if it's slower than using the card reader, I'll prioritize learning that
one downward.
But I can already tell I'm going to like this little machine.

Subject: [Harp-L] H2 Observation

Apropos of someone asking about transferring files directly from the H2.  I
may have imagined this, but I've imagined worse.

I've been using a card reader all week to transfer files from my SD card to
my XP computer.  160 Mb of files took a few seconds, as it should, using
USB2.

As an experiment, I just connected the H2 directly to the computer, and I
found the process comparatively clunky and slow as heck.  First, you have to
select whether you're going to be using it as a drive or as an audio device.
Fair enough, that's a feature, not a bug.  It's no more clunky than taking
the card out and putting into a reader, I guess.

But 89 Mb took nearly a minute to transfer.

As a geek, a few seconds vs. nearly 60 is annoying.  But if one were
transferring a really large bunch of bits, even blase harmonica players
would become annoyed at the time diff.
