New Head-Fier
Hi there, i'm a new user to the ap80. I gotta say that this baby rocks! one thing i would like to share is that there is no 15k limit on database which made me worried cause i had already purchase the 512gb card. i like to share my experience with a 512gb sandisk microSD, formatted in windows as exfat. I have created folders in the root directory and named them jazz, club etc.. now contrary to the many posts i have read about file database limit of 15k, i went to put 17500 songs into a folder via drag and drop from itunes playlist straight into windows explorer folder created in the ap80 connected via usb on my desktop pc, windows 10. Here's how i created Playlist without any additional desktop apps. I created playlists of each folder via inbuilt heart icon on the top of the screen, remember to hit the save the playlist as m3u else you wont see it in the playlist_data folder that will be created after you do this. After creating the playlist you now can add to the playlist, go to files icon next to the heart icon and then go into another files icon, inside go select microsd card, choose the folder you want to add by tapping on it, give it time to react, when the folder opens.. press and hold a music file until checkboxes appear, tap the upperleft most box to select everything in the folder... now click the playlist icon next to the trash bin, you can click on the premade playlists or you can add directly to a new list from the create new option. From my experience, the creation of 17500k playlist took 10-15mins. This is day 4 using this baby, and finally getting the hang of it. i advise all to use mp3tag and edit all your mp3 tags and album art via this tool, i have used this to correct all the missing song names and missing artwork... you can use the function, view > sort by > cover, then scroll to the top, and you can see all the mp3 that have no cover art and add them via their inbuilt database, under tag sources > cover > Discogs. Play around with this mp3tag, really fun. I hope to try to stuff more into my card in the coming weeks, right now in total of all my folders its 25K mp3's and i still have 260GB free.
