Try this man, Settings -> System -> Database update -> Yes. Worth a try..

 
Didn't work. The j3 just doesn't detect the new .flac files at all.

What program are you using to rip your CD's? EAC?

i have the same problem with you
 
some albums in flac , they show up at the brwosing by folder , but not in the artist/albums browsing
 
and when i try to play them , it 'crashes'
 
this happens on some 32 gb sandisc cards i have - but when i put them on my clip+ everything works fine
 
must be a j3 'bug'
 
bummer

Has anyone run into a problem in which the J3 won't recognize flac files? I mean they don't show up at all, even in the file/folder browser. It's new .flac files, from re-ripped discs. I thought it was the ID3v2 tag that was the problem but they're not showing up at all even after I removed it.

I access my music by browsing the folders, J3 or J3 ext. Thinking back, I think I had the same problem in which browsing by album or artist clearly had bugs. Once I started just using the folder route, I was okay with it. Everything is fine for me this way, though it's less than ideal - I just can't be troubled at this point. Switching folders is a piece of piss, as my British colleagues like to say.

They don't show up in the folders either. It just says "No Files".

Somebody should get back to you if you post your problem here if you are unable to find a solution in one of these threads - chances are it'll be Kizune, who makes his own free UI's for the J3. Best of luck to you and sorry I couldn't be of greater service.

Formatted = nothing
 
I saw another thread on that site about this problem. It doesn't seem like anyone "solved" it. It just sort of worked out. At this point I'm convinced there's a thing about these FLAC files. Where can I get an older build of FLAC?

What bit rate are your files? The J3 doesn't support anything above 16/44.
 

 

[doublea71]

And which firmware version do you have? The latest is 2.29, although that shouldn't matter. Maybe you need to re-install the firmware and try it again.

Yeah but they still may show up.

24bit files show on my S9 it just freezes when you try to play them, (which sux ass) but they're visible.

Id be changing versions of LAME and try again. try adjusting your settings on EAC to this video. I've been ripping today and there's no problem. I followed set up completely from this video. Even do a full reinstall of EAC. Because I don't think this is a problem with your player, more how it's being converted.

Eliminate each section at a time.

EDIT: Try changing your command line too under compression options. It's in this link the one I'm using.

I had this problem with my S9 (power switch broke) and my J3 which I still use.
 
They initially read flacs then for some reason they stopped reading newly loaded ones but still read ones that had been loaded earlier.
 
Never found out why but did find that if you change the extension from .FLAC to .FLA they player recognises them for some reason.
 
Any new flac I load files onto my J3  are run through an extension changer which does this.
 
Although this does not explain why it is a workaround that allows you to listen to your flacs.
 
Hope this helps

Thanks. What extension changing program do you use for this?

 

[cubasesx]

I initially manually edited files in explorer but then found a prog called AnalogX Extension Changer which does whole folders at once

You can also use the program Bulk Rename Utility.

i noticed this player has different sizes
like 8gb, 16gb, and 32gb
 
Are these sizes internal storage or the storage size of a provided micro sd?

The sizes allocated are for the internal memory. You can use up to 32GB micro SD on top of the internal stated. (64GB cards work formatted to FAT32)
