New user of an S4. Got a 64GB Samsung EVO SD card to hold my music. Put SD card into card reader and used Win 7 to copy ~2K tunes to the sd card. Almost a third of them arrived corrupted, though fine on PC. Samsung says I can only transfer 10 files at once or problems happen. Gonna take forever. Is there a smart way to do this automatically? Thanks for advice. I've also tried using my PC's music player (Foobar) to transfer, used Win Merge, etc. Hundreds and hundreds arrive corrupted and I have to start over.
Well, that's news to me since I transferred to my S4 thousands at a time with a card reader. I can't imagine what Samsung has to say when the card is in a separate card reader rather than the phone! It has nothing to do with them. It's just a card in a reader.
Start over..
--Format the card in the phone so that when you eventually pop it back in as loaded, it is less likely to show problems
--Unmount the card properly (Settings)
--Pop the card back in the card reader, transfer.
--Put it back in the phone, filled
-After you put the card back in the phone, check that it seems to be working and functioning by using Samsung's native file manager, My Files before trying to play with Foobar
--Play
You might try, if that doesn't work, the native music manager too just to make sure it isn't a Foobar issue.
Hopefully that works. It is also possible there are other issues, from a defective card to a defective card slot in the phone.
