Garmin 400 Zumo & Mp3 Problems

[draego]

Hi guys,

Sorry to throw this one out but am curious if anyone else has had this problem. I recently got a Garmin Zumo 400 from my wife and bought a SD card to have some music while I was driving. So after buying an 8GB card I then copied my music over. However the Garmin just wont locate it, even though it can locate the images that go with the albums. Is it that I am not giving it enough time to load up or is there a limit to how many MP3s should be on it for it to work properly? It has once found the tracks and they played but as soon as I turned it off they were gone again!

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Richard Tighe

have you got them in a folder called MP3 ?

Have you read this in the Zumo section of the forum?

I know there's a limit of 1000 tracks / folders but don't know if this causes it not to see them.

The tracks are in MP3 format aren't they? Nothing else AFAIK will do.

No dont have em in a folder marked MP3 will put them in there and see if that makes all the difference

Just read the section recommended and see where my problem lies! Really appreciate the advice again

Thanks

They don't have to be in a folder called MP3, but they need to be broken into subfolders, for instance one per album. Even then, the Zumo needs to be on for a minute or so for it to register that they're there.

Does the zumo recognise SD cards above 8GB?
