Song Loading problem..

Post by blessedad »

Hi,

I'm using my Soniccell for "live" performance as an Audio player for my backing tracks. My problem is when I load a song numbered 200 and up it took too long to load and play. It even took longer to load songs 300 and up.

I needed my music to be continuous and I need to have all songs in my repertoire to be saved in just "one" usb flashdrive coz I have to decide what appropriate song to play while on stage. I'm quite disappointed with my soniccell and thingking of selling it and just go back to using a loptop although I don't feel comfortable having a loptop while on stage. Sonic cell is great to use on live performance except for this big problem. Any fix on this? I appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance..

Hi Jonathan,
what is the OS revision inside your SC?
It should be 1.20 - Menu - scroll to the last menu 'Version'
The song selection was improved and enlarged in this OS version

So you have the latest version.
Defraging doesn't help a USB flash drive
Are the songs all roughly the same size?
Are they grouped in different folders or just a big list of songs in one folder? (Mine are in folders)

You could easily split the songs to two or more USB drives.
Split by style, alphabet (mine are split at "M") or sets - sets for early in the night, swap then for the later sets.
Buy a largish keyring from the hardware store and join the two together.
Buy different makes of USB drives so you can tell them apart by feel on a dark stage.
Sorry I can't be more helpful. I don't seem to have this problem, anyone else?
