Max Image count

Has anyone determined the maximum number of files that you can put on the SD card? I have put about 500 images on it and I can't get the Juicebox to load, decreasing by 100 each time I get it to boot at 200, though it might at more. Before I go and try to find the number myself I was wondering if any one else had done the work yet. It's time for bed but I'll get to it tomorrow if nobody posts the answer.

I'm running a Ver 2.6, 8m ROM, 2M SDRAM, Firmware version 2.0.8, Build 040812232933
Just in case anyone cares.

Ok, reminder: This is the standard SD card that comes with the MP3 pack.

Using only image files I can load 247 pictures before the JuiceBox won't load. The total size is 13.5 MB (14,227,200 bytes) and size on disk is 15.4 MB (16,187,392 bytes). I haven't tried loading mp3's on top of that to see if it will still go, I assumme it will since they give you a 32Mb card.

That's fairly low. I'd have expected the limit to be 512, the maximum number of files that can be in a FAT16 directory, root in this case.

Could you zip up these 500 JuiceBox pictures and put them up for download? I'm curious if an 8MB RAM model could address more.

I could, but all I did was use the program that makes jpg files out of text files ( see http://www.gutenberg.org/ for details). Go to http://www.gutenberg.org/ and find something of interest.

Remember that when downloading files through the JuiceBox program they all come out as 57kb (or something like that)files.

After messing with this for a while, I think that the number of images that can be accessed is related to the size of the filenames. Smaller names seem to mean more images can be stored. 308 is the most that I can get on it- this was using one and two character filenames (plus extension).

My Juicebox is all green, no LED, 2.6, checksum: 26584d02, 8MB RAM, mp3: 1.0.5, firmware: 2.0.8

I wrote a small utility in CSharp to help me with the renaming. It can rename and clone files. Source is included. To rename, give it a directory and click the rename button. Note: All files in the directory will be renamed to short names! To copy a file, give it a source file and click the copy button. It creates a bunch of copies of that file, all with short names. The copies are placed in the application's directory.

Here's the utility:
