Thanks RB - I'm in the process of copying the music from the EHD to SD card on the ATF app, so the player's tied up for the next few hours. It does show the SD card filling up on the AK settings menu so I'm hopeful. Excuse my ignorance, but is the Media Scan simply to check whether there's anything on the SD card that's maybe not showing up? No music would play, so I'm pretty sure the SD card was empty. I tried un-mounting the SD card before ejecting it and removing it, then putting it back in but this just confirmed my worst fears. I'm sure this is an issue with the AFT app and my Mac rather than the player, though it is frustrating to lose a month's worth of ripped CDs. I take it none of this would be a problem using Windows 10?
Quite frankly, Monty, I find that none of that is a problem using Windows XP, (although this old system can't read cards over around 30gig or less), never mind a newer OS. The only time I had similar issues was way back when I first got my 380 and used the 'internal' file operations on the player. This simply didn't work and would corrupt files, lose music and at times make an SD Card unreadable (by the player). So I reverted to hooking the player up to the PC and using my file software. I have never had a problem using a windows computer. However, I find it hard to believe that AK iRiver would make a product that can't be easily managed by the millions of apple users in the world. My sympathy for the problems you are experiencing (and I feel guilty, now, for extolling the virtues of the ripper to you before you got it).
