After some trial and error, I figured out how to make the MMC flash card work in my Spyder's Becker radio. I like it, no skips with CD-like sound quality. Here's what I found out:
1) MMC cards are obsolete. Buy a 2GB MMC Mobile card with MMC adapter instead (I used Kingston).
2) Format the card as FAT, not FAT32.
3) Manually copy MP3's onto the card. I used 256kbs MP3 sample rate, was happy. Use 8-letter maximum directory (artist) and subdirectory (album) names so that they read OK in FAT.
4) The card goes in with the gold contacts facing down.
5) The Becker won't shuffle outside the currently playing directory. If you want it to shuffle all your tracks, you have to dump them all in one directory.
