Anyone tried SD Card + MTP mode???

sachinc · 07-12-2012, 07:32

I'm a Last.FM scrobbler, so I'm still set on using MTP mode, but I've now gone way over my 32gb limit, and it has got to the point where I can't take anymore music off to make space for the new.

So... Has anyone tried if the J3 works in MTP mode with a microSD card in it. Sounds obvious but the MTP mode is so bad it's almost guaranteed to fail, and I'm obviously keen not to brick it.

Hopefully it does work, I dread having to get a you-know-what just becuase Last.FMers have no other options on larger than 32gb players.

Thanks for any help guys.

First things first. It shouldnt brick the J3. It just plainly won't work. But if you have Windows 7 it should work. Worked for me. But i do prefer MSC over MTP any day.

sounds good, I've got windows 7 so I'll give it a go, and post results

OK just tried it, and surprisingly, it works fine.

I'm using mediamonkey, (latest edition of 19/7/2012), and it shows up as a second mtp player, so rather than add to the sync list, I just sent my new music to the SD card, and it all worked flawlessly, and adds to last.fm via QTScrobbler perfectly
