Another SD card usage question: So I'd appreciate it if someone could answer these questions for me, preferably in a very clear and direct way: Can I store audio files (music and language learning materials) on a memory card and play them back via the...

You can play audio files from the SD card but the player will not remember where you were and will not let you create playlists. Not good.

Hi; this being six years after the original discussion was started, I'm hoping for a more up-to-date answer to the same question. I've been using a microSD card in my phone to play music, but the phone is fussy about it (tends to restart when I try to start a song, and additionally has some dust in the audio jack that had me thinking that the left earbud had it out for me when the problem lay with the port). I recently got a 32 GB micro SD card, and am hoping to use that with this product. Does anybody know if it's compatible?

No, it doesn't work like that. What you can do is to convert your files to MP3 using iTunes (if they not converted yet) then copy them to GB-10 memory card and play along. There are plenty of backing tracks on the net so you can be whoever you wish!

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.

The readme file isn't clear (at least to me) that this is about building on the fly playlists with just the mp3 player. The way I read it this is about building playlists without using WMP on your computer and then transferring them to the player...am I missing something?

I (nor my sister) have found a need for a micro sd card. You have the option to use one for greater memory but without the SD card it still holds a lot of audio. My sister has conversations and lectures stored on it, and has yet reached its memory capacity. I hope this answered your question.

Hi JasonThanks for your help, but in my case it did not work. The computer disk management shows the SD Card, but reports that there is no media. Therefore there is no option to format the card. Is there another way to get this working? Thanks, Urs

The library's a great suggestion -- thanks! I called both SanDisk and Audible to complain about their mutual incompatibility and was told by both that it was up to SanDisk. Anyway, my lesson from all of this is that I should look into these things more thoroughly before I buy another player (which hopefully won't be any time soon!).

Yes, you have to put music in folders named as CD01, CD02 and so on. I use 8GB mem card and it works fine, no problem whatsoever. Didn't try with bigger ones.

I put a MP3 file on my 32GB SDHC card, played fine. The next size up, 64GB, requires SDXC which is a different file format, haven't tested.

You just copy your music files straight onto the plyer as if it is another storage device. If you have the external memory card installed, you will see it displayed separately from the internal memory. Just copy the files to where do you want them to be. Then just go through the player interface to play those files.

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.

I use SD cards and the music on them is MP3. I use old SD cards from years ago that had been in cameras. I didn't even reformat them. I use it plugged in and I love it. I play stuff all night to cover the background noise and some times I leave it on all day. I switch cards often so I have different music on each. I haven't tried it with a stick.

I don't think the capacity of the SD card matters. I've never played wav format on this, only mp3, so I wouldn't know that. Sorry

I am not sure as I have simply been using them for primarily mp3s and pictures. I would say it depends upon the file type your recorder saves as. If you are able to transfer these files to your computer, saving them to disc will help w storage. I'd say play back is another issue that again depends not only upon file format but also the kind of device play the file(s) back. But if you can get to your computer, you should be able to save to these discs.

I just purchased this player... it works fine, but I have put two different 64gb cards in the player and it does not seem to read the music. What type of formatting is required to match the player?

Hi Ron, You have to download music midi files to get them onto your SD card. I can't tell you exactly how to do it, as my husband is the one who did it for us. But you can find midi files online. Hope that helps. :)
