Hi,

 

I hope this is the right area and this topic hasn't been covered before (had a quick look and couldn't see it).

 

I've just become the owner of a 2017 Yeti Outdoor, SEL. I'm really loving it so far.

 

I've spent the evening loading MP3s onto an SD Card, about 53gb on a 64gb card. I can see and play the files, organised as they were on my PC ('My Music\artist\album\file.mp3 etc'). What I can't do is see them using the 'Show database view' option. It's dimmed out.

 

I did try the card after loading a couple of GB of tracks and this option was available and working (and really impressive) so I'm a bit disappointed to have lost it.

 

Does anyone know why this is the case? I've got something like 15,000 files on the SD Card so I'm assuming it's related to that as it was working with far fewer on there.  I can play around deleting files until it works, assuming that I'll dip below a magic number at some point but I wonder if someone has already solved the problem.

 

It's got an Amundsen system fitted. Not sure of the designation.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

David

I've got over 30,000 mp3 files on an SD card that my MIB1 Amundsen plays OK, the folder structure I use is:

 

/Artist/Album/file.mp3

 

The only difference I can see is that you appear to have /MyMusic/Artist/Album/file.mp3

Hi,

 

Thanks for responding. I've made this change and it's not solved the problem. It's reassuring to know that it's possible though.

 

You've set me off in another direction.  I did first put the card into the car last night and got a message saying something like 'reading the card'. I waited for a few minutes and then when nothing happened ejected the card and tried again. I then go a message saying 'error reading card' and then just had access to the music via file structure as I've said.  I wonder if the first time I plugged it in, the Amundsen system was reading the card and building and writing an index/database. I may have interrupted this process and left a corrupted index behind which is why it can't open the database.  I've deleted the contents of the drive and am re-copying, using your file structure.  If this doesn't work I'll reformat the SD card, to be extra sure to get rid of any hidden corrupted files and try again. The next step will be to reformat again and add a few folders to see if it works and the add more until it stops working.

 

Unless anyone else has any ideas.

 

Thanks again,

 

David
