Help Cannot transfer music files to my Galaxy Ace

[Sugglew]

I have tried different ways to transfer 23GB of music to my 32GB SD and the results are always the same. I've tried dragging my folders containing the music onto the card with the phone in USB transfer mode (both pc and mac), I've tried it with the SD plugged directly into the mac, I've copied all my files into Kies and done it that way. The result is the same: the transfer completes but then between 2 and 4 GB of the data appears on the phone. Then when the card is plugged into the mac again it shows that the files are gone.

Is this happening to anybody else or can anybody explain this? My ipod was stolen recently and this phone and card were to be an elegant solution so if anyone can help me it'd be very much appreciated.

That actually sounds like it's more a problem with the card. I recently bought an 8gb card and any videos,music or pictures I added to it wouldn't show on my ace or they would be corrupt files,as soon as I tried them on a different card they worked fine.

I have a feeling you may have a faulty card.

p\s: i just noticed that the files that "no applications can perform this action" are .wma & the files that can be played are .mp3.. does that mean that .wma files cannot be played?????

Hi, yes the Ace will not play wma files. You have to download a free converter and convert on your pc to mp3 before transferring to the Ace.

You guys can also try to get music players that play wma files.

Why not try MyPhoneExplorerto FJ Software Development to transfer music to the memory card. I use this s/w for my sync/backups/uploads/downloads. Hope it helps

To the OP, you must first verify that your SD card is indeed what it is supposed to be, size wise. I don't know where you bought it, or what brand it is, but virtually ALL 32GB cards sold on ebay are counterfeit and are actually only 1GB or smaller in size.

Search for this, there are quick and easy methods to verify your card, but its necessary to do this first. Counterfeit cards look like they are what they say they are, files seem to transfer, but the end result is, none of this actually happens. You're chasing ghosts till you verify your actual card is good first.
