Beosound 2 problems with 2GB SD Card

7 replies

Got my Beosound 2 today. However, it seems to have a problem with my Panasonic 2GB SD Card. So, I updated the firmware but the problem persist. With a 64MB card it works without any problems. And ideas?

Thanks!

It mosn't be a high speed sd card! filse has to be placed in a folder (no sub folders in a folder) any help?

Try reformatting the SD card to FAT32 as it may be preformatted to NTFS which BeoSound 2 may not be able to read from. Ensure that you are copying mp3 or wma sound files only. Let us know how you get on.

What kind of problems ?

did you use beoplayer to put music on the card or drag and drop directly ont the card? 

did you press the two bottom arrow key to update the catalog ?
 

I use a no name sd card on my bs2 without problems. 

Just got it running. I draged and dropped via the normal explorer. So, I guess I had to press the lower two triangles to update the playlist. The update takes some times and I have the impression that each updated folder is confirmed by a short "beep".

Now it works fine, also with my 2GB card.

Thanks again!
