Two things to try are (one) use higher quality files so there's less number of files overall; or (two) if you know ahead of time you are going to be using recording functions then remove excess files from the player.

Arrigogogo, one other thing to try. Didn't you say in another thread that you have an older low-capacity iFP player? You could empty that one and use it as a dedicated recorder, while using the 2GB T10 exclusively for music. The iFP players have more expanded recording options anyway, making them pretty fine dedicated recorders.
The slow scan-music-file problem is really annoying when recording. Fortunately, I seldom do recording and I can use my old iFP player as a recorder (as ShyAnne suggested) to bypass the problem. I believe that the problem can be solved by enhanced algorithms and codings of the firmware but I doubt if iriver will do the improvement for T10. I can imagine how people feel frustrated to wait for completion of scanning music files. Even though I do not have a T60, I hope iriver will improve the firmware for T60.
