Re: [linux-minidisc] MP3 files to HiMD

Hi Adrian

Thank you very much for your comments and suggestions.

>Do you get an actual error message on the device?

I see simply the same message that I would see after formatting: "NO TRACK"

>And can you list the files that were transferred with 'himdcli' or 
'qhimdtransfer'. The listing of the directory structure is not really 
helpful when trying to debug the problem.

Sure (the goal of the file listings was to show that approximately the 
correct amount of data was getting transferred). After formatting the 
disc and transferring either a single file or multiple files, there is 
no track listing returned when using `himdcli /media/wbm/disk tracks`. 
However, when I make a recording with the device itself, the recording 
does show up in the track listing:

    1: 0:20 LPCM Unknown artist:Unknown title (Unknown album 0) 
[uploadable]

>Also, can you try using a more common bitrate? The bitrates you were 
using are rather unusual. Common bitrates are 128, 256 or 384 kbs.

Yes, I tried a few more standard ones as you suggested. The result is 
the same.

Are there other things I could try that would be of assistance or are 
there other details that would be helpful?

Thanks very much for your help on this.
