Since I no longer get a bounce from my own posts I can't quote myself. Further information. After my previous post I went back to work. I had completed all the A and B files, so I resumed work starting with the C files. As I continued, every single C file played perfectly, no corrupted files at all. Then I randomly checked 20-30 more files in the rest of the alphabet, and all played perfectly. New theory: The problem has something to do with how the card is mounted. In the laptop it has to be placed in an adapter, and from previous experience, SD card adapters can be problematic. But, also from previous experience, if the adapter has a problem then the entire drive fails to appear. Ditto for mounting; it either works 100% or it fails 100%. I've never had a drive mounted, but show only some of its contents. I'm wondering if there is something sketchy about this brand new Samsung 256GB Evo card. I have another 256GB card, a Samsung Pro, so for my next exercise I'm going to leave the Evo card aside and redo everything on the Pro card. Stay tuned. :) One unrelated bit of additional information. After pulling the Evo card from the phone and re-mounting it in the laptop, I find that Android added many new folders on the card, all with 0 contents: Alarms Android Audiobooks DCIM Documents Download Movies Music Notifications Pictures Podcasts Recordings Ringtones .android_secure Hey, Android! If I want a folder, *I* will create it! At least now we have a clue why Android refused to mount cards formatted with any restrictions on being written to, including cards with any ext# filesystems. Dang, I need an open source phone!
