How do I access the SD card's Music folder for playback? Can't find a way to navigate 'above' the internal memory. Any ideas?

You should follow the directions to select the memory card then you will be able to select music from the memory card

Sorry I never put an SD card in mine. Only way I can think of is to take the SD out and put it into an card reader. Or keep looking in the menu.

I am having the same problem and not having much luck solving it. I read somewhere that everything automatically gets stored to the internal memory, then you have to use the Astro app to copy things over to either the internal SD or your external SD. I thought I was tech savvy until I attempted this. Now I feel stupid. Can't figure it out. Anyone else have luck with this?

If I remember right, there is a slot for each, usb and SD card. It should have the capablity to draw from both. The computer graphics for pulling up songs from each may be a little tedious, and you may want to use a computer and just transfer your playlist to one device, to make the job simpler.

I haven't tried that but I'm pretty sure you could. I personally use an 8GB SD card. However, it doesn't show the sub-directories and also there is no shuffle. So what I did was basically put all my songs in the root folder which works pretty well.

You need to drag the music files from your music library to the memory card of the player

Hello Jill, all you do is go to the menu screen, you will se two tabs "capture and setup" choose the set up tab by pressing the "ok" button. Then simply go down to where it says format, press the "ok" button and you will see two options, memory card or internal memory, make your choice click "ok" and you are set! Have Fun!

I dont know if it's possible to create categories of music. I have my music in a seperate folder on my sd card, but it just shuffles.

If you mean what format does it record in, it is a proprietary format; it is a closed system (most compact digital multitracks are). You can't access the files on the SD card in a meaningful unless you export your tracks as WAVs, which fortunately, is very easy.

Make sure SD card is in all the way hit the mode button until screen says SD card if the card has no music it will say no SD card other than that it should start playing music

Absolutely, I have a variety of folders set up (example soft rock, Jimmy Buffet, Instrumentals, etc. I have them on a 16 Gig micro SD card. There is a button to skip folders and buttons to skip songs.... Sound is great for its size

I used the scan disk micro SD card just fine. Maybe try it again and make sure it slides in until it locks; you will feel it connect. I was able to access my music from the micro SD card.

I looked at the manual and see no way to navigate folders. You can skip from track to track or you can skip 10 tracks at a time. Of course, there is a randomize function for playback which is what I use the most. I have been pleased with the unit. Sound is good and I have had no problems with it.

I wonder if it is not recognizing the SD card. That is the kind of message you get with the internal is full. Try "playback" with the chip removed to see if you have images there.

It has to scan/ find the files on the sd card; especially if you are using a music player like PowerAmp. It look quite a few minutes to scan and add all the media. This at least happened when I used the device.

I might be a little slow - What about expandable memory - can I load music movie and content onto the sd card? or are you all saying it can only read and save content pulled over from another device like my laptop.

You can use an SD card at least. I think it has it's own sound formatting, but I haven't gotten into that at all yet. I believe though, that you can only play songs that you recorded from the piano onto the SD card. You can directly into your computer via USB, but we haven't done that either, so I don't know what you can do with it if anything. We do record songs onto the on-board hard drive to replay, but it only accepts one at a time--as soon as you record a new song, the old one is written over. I am sorry I don't know more, we use this piano mostly for playing, not as much for recording or playback. You can use an SD card at least.
