Transfering files from Pc to micro sd issues.

TiTAN93 · Feb 17, 2018

I have recently been trying to transfer about 5k songs from the my pc to my external SD card 128gb to then put into my phone. I have had nonstop issues with this, as when I try to mass transfer all 25gb over everything works fine until I try to play said music. First I try mass transfer using micro sd to USB port then into phone and try putting SD into phone and then mass transfer same issue with playing as when it tries to read the track it says '' sorry this is player does not support this audio file '' with the <Unknown> shown in the track info. Now this happens no matter which way I try to transfer the files either through mass transfer in one folder or all detailed through 15 folders comes back the same way, same either way I transfer either with micros SD to USB converter, SD in phone and have USB hooked to phone and try to transfer, and even tried wireless transfer with the web pc suite app always comes back with the same result in that some songs work about 1000 to 1500 all the rest come back as '' player doesn't support audio file '' with the <Unknown> in the description. Starting to think it's the SD card but everytime I scan it it comes back as nothing wrong with the device. Was hoping someone could help me out, much appreciated. Sorry for spelling posted with mobile

The files that aren't recognized are DRM protected. Digital Rights Management restrictions limit the song to the player it was formatted for. Apple music files don't play on Android, same for some Microsoft music files. I rip my own music files from physical media I've bought.

I think Bobby's right about the DRM because the player does seem to know it's an audio file, whereas if it was simply an unrecognised format I'd not expect it to do that. But you've not said what format these files are, so the possibility that it might be some odd Windows-specific format did occur to me as an alternative.

For the record Apple dropped DRM from iTunes music many years ago, and I believe allowed you to re-download DRM-free copies of anything you bought before that (I refuse to ever buy music with DRM myself). Can't speak for Apple Music subscription service as I've never used it.

What file format are they?

Your Note 3 specs state that it will only support up a 64GB microSD card, using a higher capacity card isn't advisable from a reliability aspect.

If you still have it, double-check the documentation that came with your phone to confirm this.
