RE: What filesystem should a USB MP3 Player be formatted with?

At 256MB, it won't be an HDD. It'll be some sort of flash memory chip, like pen drives.
At 256MB, the benefits of FAT32 are negligible over FAT16: the only real benefit I can remember right now is the ability to use partitions larger than 2GB.

Anyway, if it came as FAT16, do FAT16.
