SD card for Go 720

[Nammy]

Is there a limit to the size sd card for the 720?
I had a 1 gig with mp3's on it and it worked fine. I now have an 8 gig and it doesn't show me my mp3's.. I doubled checked and the music files are on the card, but once I boot up and go to music, it only shows me the mp3s that came with the machine.

For firmware versions prior to 8.300, the 720 will only operate 100% with a 4GB card or less. The 720 with firmware prior to 8.300 will usually read information written to an 8GB or larger SD card by another device, but you wouldn't want to use it in any way that would cause the TT to try write to it.

8.300 had as one of its features the ability to play well with cards > 4GB. Sadly, the "improved" firmware version 8.300 has other issues. If you can get back to a 4GB card and use pre-8.300 firmware (I am doing well with 8.010) until they get that version of firmware fixed, you'll be fine.

All cards should be formatted in FAT32.

Thanks for the help...

Make sure the music is all under a folder named mp3, not Mp3 or MP3 or mP3. IIRC It has to be under the root directory of the sd card and the music can't be segregated into sub folders.
