Derek,

A few years when SD cards were first on the market, I purchased a 256mb Panasonic at an unbelievable cost of £79.00. I had saved 2 Folders of 20 songs to it when it refused to accept anymore. Having paid all that money and knowing it came with a 'lifetime' guarantee, I took it back to the shop and without hesitation they replaced it and I am still using it to this day albeit in my camera.

So! I'm wondering whether you have a faulty SD Card. The way to find out is to save a song direct from the keyboard. If it works then it has got to be something to do with the download and not the card. At least it will eliminate that possibility. It's worth a try at least.

Good luck! - Audrey

Derek, Tell us EXACTLY how you are transferring Larry's files to your SD Card. You can't just copy the Unzipped files directly to your SD Card - that won't work, because it does not update the very important 'INF' file on the SD Card. Unless the 'INF' file is correctly updated, the KN7000 will not 'see' the file.

An easy and foolproof method is to copy the unzipped file to a Floppy Disk, using your PC, feed the disk to your KN7000, load the file and then save it to SD Card.

If by chance you don't have a Floppy Disk Drive on your PC, then you can use Song Manager and do the transfer via USB to your KN7000 and then save to SD Card.

Bll I downloaded the songs to run and when they appeared, I unzipped them then sent them to the SD card and I checked to see if they were on the card which they were. That is why I couldn't understand why they didn;t show up when I tried to load them on my KN7000 Derek

............But you don't say how you transferred the songs to your SD Card.....

As I said above, if you just copied them from your PC to the SD Card, that won't work - even if you can see the files on the card, when using your PC to view them.

Hi All,

I've been using Sandisk 2G SD cards in my KN7000 for some time now. (I store a lot of SD Audio). % used does not indicate correctly, but everything else seems to be just fine. I've also tried a Sandisk 1G Mini SD card with adapter which worked OK.

2GB is fully usable for audio but not for Technics Files. Formatting a 2GB card in the KN7000 will only address 1GB of the available space.

Bill That is what I did, so it seems I will have to download to floppy first insert in my KN7000 floppy drive, then save to SD card, which is rather a lengthy job, when I was hoping to do it all in one go. Derek

2GB is perfectly useable for technics or midi files, the % display is just integer overflowed and thus innacurate but the 7k shows the correct GB total. You just have to format in windows, or Jukebox if wanting to use audio.

if you copy 20 files to floppy (correctly numbered!), the whole floppy can be copied to an sd folder in one operation - sd, sd tools, copy from disk, select an empty folder, ok. Or use Fred's sd explorer tool and do it faster. Or use the supplied song manager program, upgrade to version 2 using my files and instructions downloadable on Bill's site and add files/folders to an existing sd card in a card reader.
