CraigR Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Am having a few problems getting my sat nav to read music files from my SD cards. I am copying single files, ie one at a time, they all play fine with windows media player, but when i put the card in the sat nav, nothing, Error message saying Corrupted files. Any help/idea's appreciated Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethH Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I've had this, I tracked it down to a single file the RNS-E didn't like. I would delete everything on the card and add stuff back bit by bit until you find the dodgy file. I think it might be a filename or invalid tag that's upsetting it.

rjgreen4 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 check the file name length as well, sometime it does not like anything with more than 20 characters, or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigR Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I had transfered all the files using Phatnoise music manager, as soon as i re-tryed it with windows media player, every single track player perfectly Any ideas why this was?

GarethH Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Do you mean the tracks work with WMP? That's as expected, the RNS-E if fussy compared to a PC. Copy the files back to the SD card bit by bit, say an album or 12 files at a time and see if it takes the card. You should find the dud MP3 file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethH Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Just copy with Windows Explorer! Glad it's working now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5to1 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 So from what your saying: 1) Copy files on to SD card with PC, everything works. 2) Copy them with phatnoise, it thinks the card is corrupted and nothing works. If so the phatnoise is corrupting the SD Filesystem. Some reader/writers/sw do not correctly impliment the spec and corrupt the FS on the card. Do a search in google and you'll find lots of complaints about this (especially from people with digi cams). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
