[Tiptoi] My Tiptoi only seems to work with unmodified .gme files

[Wouter Betting]

Hello Till,

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried that this week after reading about it in an earlier post. I tried disconnecting without unmounting again today, but it still makes no difference.

For your information: every time I disconnect the Tiptoi, it automaticaly switches off. After turning it on it tells me to "wait a moment", about 2-3 second pause, and then starts up with the standard welcome sound. 
I have not seen any differences in this behaviour, no matter what OS I use or how many files I copied/removed. It all looks pretty sturdy and reliable to me...

kind regards,
Wouter

The hardware looks like a generation 2 (horizontal volume buttons), but it does not have the player buttons on top.
