I had a slightly similar problem once...
I was getting the same thing, when I was trying to write mp3 files (in
WinXP) to the SD card from my Treo 600. Turns out, when I had taken the
card out of the Treo, I was playing an mp3, and only hit Pause. When I
put the card back in, it played okay, but this time I hit Stop first,
then took the card out. Worked fine after that. Seems like Pocket Tunes
locks the audio folder while it's playing...
Give that idea a try...
