    Seems like an awful lot of button presses.
    Making it completely automatic is annoying. People will be complaining that they plugged a USB drive into their ALP and the ALP deleted their old stats file. The instructions, though, need to be clear that you need to wait for the ALP to stop beeping. The problem is you hit NEXT a bunch of times, then hit ENTER, and the ALP first pauses for 1-2 seconds, then emits more beeps, then stops again. During that initial pause, it's easy to go ahead and start hitting NEXT again (this is what happened to me the first time I tried to pull a stats file). To some people, a 1-2 second pause means that the sound sequence is finished. If they just programmed the ALP to keep beeping throughout that time, it would solve the problem. Most people won't push more buttons on a device that's still actively beeping.
