Windows media player.....I need help

[repsol47]

I have a problem with WMP...I am using a PQI 2g miniSD memory card to store my MP3's on...and most of the songs I try to play are skipping.
Im not using a bluetooth headset...just the speakers built into the Wiz.

Is there an issue with the PQI cards? Should I install another media player to play my songs?

I cant figure out why its skipping.
I am using the stock rom from Cingular...for now.

Any suggestions on what is going on...Id like to get this thing to work, so I dont have to carry my Nano.

I had the same problem with a Transcend 80 2gb card. I bought a corsair 2gb for 6$ more from newegg ($20 vs. $26) and have had no problems. In my experience trying to save a few bucks on these high density cards does not really work.

I have used SanDisk with no trouble and now this Corsair. The transcend is now being used in my digital camera instead and seems to have no problems in that device.

Good Luck

Well tonight I swapped my PQI 2g card with my wife's Transcend 2g card....her card(with her MP3's) is working perfectly.

Couple of things I forgot to mention....which I didnt think mattered.

Her songs were downloaded to her card using Media player from her laptop.
I think she created a Library and did the whole transfer that way.

Whereas I "drag and drop'd" all of my songs onto the card and then inserted into the 8125.

I noticed that when I checked the properties of each song off her card, audio codec is listed with Windows Media Audio 9 or 9.1
On my card, there is NO such listing.

Am I assuming correctly that I have use Media Player on my computer to transfer songs to the MiniSD card...and NOT drag and drop.

Or is it that the PQI card is crappy?

In the morning I will try the method she used to download songs and see if that works.

shouldn't make any differnence - WMP is not converting the files or something like that, it also just copies them. So your card seems to be crappy - I also had that problem... The only thing you can try is format the card with different settings/filesystem with SKTools (FAT16 vs FAT32, bigger custer size, no backup FAT table etc.) - but there is no "best" setting - you have to find out on your own...
