I have a lot of music stored on data sticks in WMA format. The stick has the correct FAT32 format. The PIVI Pro FAQ says that the media player will recognize WMA files, along with a host of others, but all I get is a message telling me there is no media on the device. Anyone else have this issue? A solution perhaps?

Thanks,
Andy

 

That's got to be down @_Allegedly 's alley. He's the resident Audiophile. He must be away 'cause I think he'll have a good answer re: best formats, etc.

 

Make sure the drive is FAT32 and not exFAT. Do the WMA files in question play correctly on a different media player on your computer? Important to rule out the obvious first.

I’ve played 24/192 hires lossless content via USB, mainly FLAC and ALAC. They play back just fine, pivi pro supports hires playback, my issue was pivi pro not displaying the content in the correct order and I never managed to get that to work (the content would be correctly ordered in a file browser and via any other media player, it was properly tagged and followed standard file naming protocols). I’ll have to check if 3.x fixed this.

 

I think the default is alphabetical but that can be changed to the order on the source. Can't remember where, but it may be a 'press' in the player, maybe in the browse mode??

I had the same issue but one day came across how to change the order.

 

Excellent, thank you very much - I will give that a try!

 

My work around is to transfer the stuff I want to the iTunes Library which works fine, as much as I hate to be dependent on Cupertino.

 

...or you can try this ( there is also batch convert )
