The 200GB cards work in the Sony A17.

I will say the one thing that really annoys me is when you buy a 200GB card that is really only 183GB of space on the card...I do not understand what it is that takes up the other 17 GB since there is no operating system of any kind as there is with for instance the 240's internal storage....

For manufacturers,
200GB = 200 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 bytes = 200,000,000,000 bytes

The card will have roughly this amount of bytes when you check its properties.

However in the computer, 1024 bytes represent a 1KB.

200,000,000,000 bytes / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 186.26GB

So it is normal for a 200GB card to have 186.26GB of space for storage.

I spoke too soon. The A17 indexes the card correctly and you search be album, artist, ..., but the folder view doesn't show any of the files or directories on the card. It turns the A17 into a Pono player!!! (the only other DAP that I have ever seen that doesn't have a folder view) 
 
My bad! Needed to put everything in a folder called MUSIC and then it all works.

try loading the music on the card while the card is in the player rather than on the card directly and then putting it into the player

Just wanted to put it out there, the 200GB micro sd has not worked on my AK240 so far.  Trying to troubleshoot in the meantime

What's the reason?
Is it because of too much loading time that wasn't expected when AK guys built AK240?
AK's website doesn't list 200GB microSD as supported. It still says 128GB max.

It shows only a small percentage of the files I loaded onto the card.  I am going to reformat the card later and try once more. I also have a second card which I will try in order to confirm the card is not defective. 
 
I loaded about 100 GB of music onto the card.  It shows about 6GB

Are you using FAT32 format.
You have to format your microSD into FAT32 when it's more than 128GB. Otherwise, it will malfunction or crash.

I haven't reformatted yet, no.  I will do this tonight

the 200GB card works fine on my 240

I'll format the card tonight and followup. Funnily, it worked at first and then stopped, so it may be a defective card. But again I didn't confirm it was FAT32 before loading it

i had a problem at first because when I loaded my music onto the card the first time it apparently loaded a bad file which kept the 240 from reading the card...when i deleted and reloaded the card everything was fine

At any point did you need to format the disc?

 

[jlbrach]

I did format it when the one bad file corrupted the card and then after i reloaded the files it has worked perfectly since then
