I have a 2GB Ultra II SanDisk CF card. On occasion, it freezes and then makes scrolling b/t audio menus slow and sometimes the MusicBox unaccessible. Its like its trying to read a song and slows or locks up. It fixes once I eject the CF card then put it back again. Anyone else having this issue or know whats happening? Is it the type of CF card I'm using? Thanks ahead.

 

maybe when recording from your computer to the card it was interrupted...how? i dunno..jsut a suggestion..

 

Nah...I eliminated that as a possibility by reformatting and putting songs back on it several times.

The weird thing is, it doesn't always happen.

 

Can you try another CF card if you have one?

 

I think thats definitely the next thing I need to do. Unfortunately I don't have another one on me. I'm gonna check with my buddy to see if he has one.

 

How do you transfer your files from computer to CF card?
I use Windows Media Player and rip albums at the highest quality then 'synch' to the CF card. So far everything is working. Best quality means big files but quality and volumn are both affected (better sound and more volumn). My 4 gig card holds 26 Albums with a total of 378 tunes at highest quality. If you are not synching to the CF that could be your problem.

 

Do you have to sync? I just drag and drop mp3s onto the CF card.

 

I don't know if you have to synch. I'm saying that's the way I do and it is problem free

 

Figured it out. It was my CF card.

Everything works great now...even folders (and it loads fast).

Word of advice...don't by memory from eBay.

 

One would think, with all the technology in the G37, they would program in an error/access timeout - if it takes too long to access the card, the system assumes there is an error and then stop all access attempts until a new card is inserted; rather than lock up many/all system resources continually re-trying the card... very strange.
