<p>I've been doing some more explorlation on this, and I've found that some
files get corrupted as soon as I place them on the Neuros.  I've taken a
clean set of files, added them with "positron add" then checked them twice:
once with ogginfo checking the files on /mnt/neruos/music, and once copying
the files back to the host system and checking them with ogginfo there.
Both times displayed corruption in the files.

You'll notice that I didn't say "the same corruption".  That's because the
time I ran ogginfo against the file still on the Neuros, it showed more
errors than when I copied it back and checked it on the host machine.

My guess is that something about the USB interface is corrupting the files
en route to the Neuros, but I'm not getting any USB errors reported on
either the Neuros or the host machine.  I'm going to check the files again
over the next few days to see if they degrade anymore (bit rot?  who knows?),
but there's definately corruption going on, even in the "positron add"
stage.  Does positron perform any tweaking on the files before they move
over the USB interface?

Sorry to keep harping on this, but it's something that's rather strongly
impacted my enjoyment of an otherwise fine system.  Suggestions?
