SD card or via DVD disc's

I've ordered an Sandisk 8GB ULTRA SD card from Amazon for £13 which will store my "fav" music that i will be listening to most often aswell as updated tracks (so i dont have to burn dvd's everytime).

The rest i will burn to dvd and copy over to HDD.

The maximum capacity for the SD card is 2GB.  I remember trying a 8GB and it didn't recognise it.  Can't remember whether it was an ordinary SD or it was an SDHC one though as SDHC can't be read :undecided:

I remember reading about this in the RNS510 manual. I think its that the SDHC arent compatible with the unit.

dont waste your money on san disk ultra 2, as it wont make any difference reading music on the RNS 510.

I just got an own branded tesco one which was very cheap, but from the above post seems like they are even cheaper now!
