Why will only some of my SD card music show up on my phone?

A

AC Question

I have a mac so I've been using a USB adapter for an SD.
Dragged and dropped my tunes but my phone only shows bands down to the letter "G" then stops.
I looked at File Manager and it shows the FOLDERS of the other music but when I look inside there are no files.
I have
HTC one M8
64gb card formatted exFAT I believe.
I tried formatting on the phone in the settings.
I just don't understand whats going on..

Did you plug the adapter directly into the Mac or did you use a USB hub? Some hubs can't take long file transfers and stop because they overheat. So what happened was that all the folders got copied first, then each one's files got transferred until the hub stopped.

If the adapter was plugged into the Mac, you'll probably have to start copying the files one folderful at a time.

My mac laptop doesn't have a direct input for microSD so I was using a hub I guess. It was a USB stick that had inputs in the side for a microSD. I was trying to dump a lot of music (20gb) in one sitting, so what you said sounds pretty likely. I'll try again when I get home in smaller doses.
