Hi,
Need some help with sd card with MBP format.

Received a new SanDisk 256 gb.
Formated card using exFAT.
Transferred some music from ITunes.
Loaded into Z1. Saw unit reading and create database sequence, but at the end SDCARD still show as 0.
What should I do next?


P.S. Connected Z1 to MBP and transferred ITunes Music OK.

Did you create "Music" folder on the card? WM series assumes that all the music files are in the "Music" folder.

I noticed when I copied and paste albums from iTunes/Music to my Sd Card, it created a MUSIC folder. I did not know where/what/how is that folder got created, so I ignored.
Once you mentioned it then I looked again inside the 256 GB card and there it is.
Moved all albums to MUSIC.
Put card into Z1, read, and voila.
Thanks a lot @Giraku.

Hope Sony can make a software fix so they get rid of that music folder and just read music files from whatever folder they are stored. That would provide an easier migration from player x to Walkmans

It doesn't bother me too much, but is a little odd/quaint. It was the same for a Sony player I had over 10 years ago. I wonder what their reason is.

Fully agreed.

I guess the software engineers at Sony like that way of organizing files.
They always like their "own" way.

It's SONY way of organising files in their SONY ecosystem.

It would be nice if you could also play an all songs shuffle within each of those folders as an option. You could actually create your own genre folders. Wishful thinking.

Agreed 100x times.
This is such a pain in the b*tt, it makes demo-ing these DAPs a horrendous experience, because you usually come with your own microsd cards and end-up not being able to use them... Sony's obsession not to do things following standards...
