Whereas my archos is packed with 9862 MP3's, and still about 11G
to spare..

I could really use that 8M upgrade, and knowing that the code
"just knew" how to deal with that would make my life simpler.
(Of course, i still have to get the upgrade.. :-( )


It sounds like the first thing is just to outline exactly what
buffer changes need to take place, reserve a few bytes in memory
for 'hardcoding' these values, then adjusting them if we find
more than 2M. ( X << 4 , or whatever the local equivalent is to
quickly multiply by 4, as that's the difference..)

Would that be a reasonable approach?
