Not that I know of. The MiniLoader software that is installed on the 2 MB (?) of internal memory on the MiniJam module appears to only allow transfer of MP3 files to MMC media via a USB connection to your PC/Mac. You could try using their Speed Loader (MMC -> USB adapter) directly connected to your PC, but again, you need to use the desktop app (currently only works on Windows OS machines) to move (again) MP3 files.
You can, however, use that new MemPlug (SmartMedia) expansion module to do an entire backup of your 16 MB of internal RAM (assuming you are referring to an upgraded Prism) to Smart Media. This is painless, and although the first backup takes time, subsequent backups don't. The restore feature of the PiBackup allows you to selectively restore any/all apps or related db files that you have previously backed up to SmartMedia/ Note: If you are looking to restore just ONE file (PDB/PDC), while possible with PiBackup, this can be a time-consuming and tedious process, and you need to know the exact name of the file. You do get the option of copying back, from the backup to main RAM, one, all or skip, but if you have a lot of stuff, be prepared. Of course, after a hard reset, the "copy all" option is fairly fast and reliable.
Hope this helps.
