Playing music, and file extensions.

[Derevex]

After updating my G1 today, I was getting constant issue with my music files; 70-80% of it was missing when I went to turn on some music (it said that the file couldn't be played) so I figured I'd try something at home.

When I got home, and connected my G1 to my computer, I noticed that all the songs that were missing turned into an unknown, undeletable file labeled "000" to "164", which I'm guessing is the amount of music I was missing.

I tried unmounting the SD card and reformating it altogether, which helped to delete all the files, so I transfer all my songs again. As the music list is populating, I figured all the songs would be there, but I was missing some song stills, albeit not as many as before.

Is there something wrong with the server update, or did I just screw up somewhere? All the files that were missing were MP3-formatted, like all my other songs, except that they had Japanese names; I can see that I have some Japanese-named songs already, so I'm at a loss of what to do. Prior to updating, I was able to read and listen to the files with Japanese in them with ease. Does a system upgrade make it not compatible, or something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance; sorry for a long post.

have you tried transferring the files using a card reader? is the entire card formatted to fat32? and what did you use to format it?

I've tried using a card reader to transfer the files instead, but the result is the same.

Yes, it's formatted to FAT32.

I don't know about the last question, but this was the way it came; to reformat it and blank it, I unmounted it in the G1 and formatted it that way. (so maybe the answer is G1?)


I spoke to a representative at T-Mobile about it earlier, and she called HTC to find out the problem; she said that another woman was having a problem with it in Portuguese, so I'm definitely not the only one with this problem. Still, if there's a fix for it, I'd like to find it.
