Steve,

I just walked thru this, and it did not require anything special.

1)  Plugin SD Card reader to Mac

2)  Insert SD Card, wait for Mac to recognize

3)  Copy folder of MP3s from Mac to top level of SD Card - Drag folder of music and drop on to SD Card icon in Finder.  No sub-folders in the folder, just mp3s.

4)  Eject SD Card

5)  Place SD Card into BS2

6)  Press and hold both down arrows until it beeps.  It beeps every 3 seconds, then starts playing.  New music is recognized.

Sorry, but it didn't require any magic, which makes me think there might be a problem with your BS2... 🙁

Here's a screenshot of my sd card - (also, you can delete the file "Default Playlist.epl" and the BS2 should regenerate the playlist vs. step 6) above - also, in step 6), when it starts playing, it doesn't start with the new music, it starts wherever it left off before) - One final question - your card is not write-locked at all, correct?:

First time trying to load music to BS2 from a Mac is just plain difficult. In case you haven't yet, check out this thread, it might give some more ideas.

One other thought... if your SD card is completely full, there is no room to create the "Default Playlist.epl" files.  Make sure you have at least 1M or a couple hundred K free on your SD card before you press the down arrows.

Thanks for all the help guys, particularly Stan-I've got it to work!

It appears that the playlist isn't updated when holding down the arrow keys unless the headphones are connected.

It's now a lot easier to fill my SD cards so I'm much happier dragging and dropping onto the card, especially as I have a built-in card reader on my MacBook, and it's about 10 times faster than either iTunes or via USB dragging and dropping.

Best wishes,

Steve.
