Dominatron2212 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I have a 64GB sd card in my Edge with about 400 songs on it, however only about 300 show. They are all various bitrate MP3s... no other format that I am aware of.. unless there is a sub formatting or the bitrate matters, I can't really find anything in common.. except for one whole artist I got from the same source doesn't work. I heard it might be an update issue... so I downloaded the latest version from Ford and when I plugged in the ?USB drive it registered and began the process only to stop and say it is already on the latest version. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Are they DRM copyright protected? You can't play those on a sd card or usb. Otherwise I would guess the filenames or metadata is bad. There used to be a sync my itunes utility that would fix those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominatron2212 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hm... they were free releases that I got from a torrent so I can't imagine there's any DRM. I have mp3tag and updated the file information with that... are you saying I might just need to re download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordIVTteam Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Hi Dominatron2212,If they are all showing as MP3s, I suggest starting from scratch to see if that helps. Maybe something happened to the last 100 songs when you were transferring them onto your SD card?Rebecca Edited November 6, 2014 by FordIVTteam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hi Rebecca. Is there a known size limit for SD card handling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacyon Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) I'm using a SanDisk Cruzer Fit 64GB with 7,368 mp3's in 1,610 folders and subfolders. Not all 100% of my 7,368 mp3 show up either. I've read where a owner had a ext 2.5" USB HDD that held >50,000 mp3 on it and reported no issues. With that many files I'm sure he didn't realize some were MIA. With 400 songs you shouldn't have to much trouble identifying which ones are MIA and then seeing what makes those files unique. oh gezz .. I just stumbled across these .. SanDisk 64GB CZ43 Ultra Fit Series USB 3.0 Flash Drive $35.00 ebay. Edited November 7, 2014 by Tacyon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I guess we are assuming these mp3s are the ONLY files on the drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordIVTteam Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Nope! There's no limit on the amount of music or the size of the device you're using. Rebecca 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominatron2212 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Thank you Rebecca! Let me stir the pot and make it a bit more interesting... I tried re-downloading the main artist that wasn't showing up directly from his website. I double checked the mp3 tags to make sure they were solid with MP3tag, and then proceeded to download another artists's album. I did notice that my mp3 trimming program had The new artist showed up, but the other one didn't. I plan on reformatting the SD card and moving everything back onto it to see if maybe there is some remnants of broken coding. But other than that.. any thoughts? Also, for those who really know.. what are the formatting specifications that Sync/MyTouch allows? MP3 only? Any limit to bitrate? etc etc? My car was program and didn't come with a manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 https://www.motorcraftservice.com - you can get the owner's manual and sync manuals online but I couldn't find anything definitive on formats or bitrates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominatron2212 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 So.. there must have been an issue on the card. I had downloaded music straight from the artist page and new artists/albums would show, but ones that I replaced didn't. I copied all files to my hard drive and reformatted in exFAT. I loaded all the music back on and haven't seen it return as an issue. Files are varying bitrate but none about 320kbps, all mp3 format. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
