Dear all

ordered one the above of gearbest for a £10 including shipping! great little player for playing flacs and Wavs through my Hifi (the sit says it does not support flac but it does) link below

http://www.gearbest.com/mp3-mp4-players/pp_110057.html

European version here

http://www.amazon.co.uk/AGPtEK-A02-P...ds=flac+player

My question is, if the maxium SD support is 64gb is it worth trying 128gb?

Scrolling through the answers on the Amazon site suggests that at least one person is using it fine with a 200GB card. Other answers suggest that some larger cards (probably SDXC cards) need to be formatted from a PC before they can be used in it. They are probably both correct.

I don't have that device so please don't blame me if it doesn't work, but in all likelihood it does work with cards of capacities upwards of 64GB, but they will need to be reformatted on your PC with the FAT32 filesystem, replacing the exFAT filesystem that SDXC cards come with. Try it in the device first without doing that, and if it doesn't recognise the card, then do the full reformat of it to FAT32.

It is worth noting that the seller on Amazon recommends a 64GB SDHC card for it, not a 64GB SDXC card (despite SDXC being the more compatible standard for cards of 64GB+), which supports the likelihood that it is the filesystem that is the problem with larger cards, not the card size itself.

Thanks for that, that is fine, no blame will be attached!. I had to format a drive to fat32 years ago so know how to do that!

Just thought I would add, the player plays from 128gb SDXC card, with no problem! did not have to format.
