Question about Garmin StreetPilot c550 GPS Receiver

2 Gig SD card in my unit won't let me add anymore mp3's but I have only used 690MB of the card

What I have done is rip my cds using Windows Media Player and then i click and drag the files to my C550. It worked great until I got to 690MB on a 2 Gig SD card. Now when i try to load files it says "Cannot Copy file(the actual file name): The Directory or File cannot be Created. Does the problem lie with the SD card i bought, is it the C550, or is it Windows Media Player? I just bought my computer on New Year's Eve so it is up to date.

I talked to Garmin's tech Support and they suggested formatting the sd card just like you had suggested. Thanks for your advice.

It maybe that the system will not recognize any storage medium larger than 700megs or so. regardless of the size of medium. You can try and format the card but my instinct tells me you have reached the GPS's ability to store info. lemme know if this helps.

My GeneralPlus MSDC MP3 player shows to have music on the sd card but the player won't play

MP3 players can only play music files in mp3 file format. You can download mp3 music files from the Internet to your computer and then copy them to your MP3 player using the USB cable. For your CD collection, you need to convert your CDs to mp3 music files onto your computer or download them from the Internet and then copy them to your MP3 player after you have connected the USB cable to the MP3 player and the computer.
You can do this using Windows Media player and Rip the CDs - Media Player will create a MP3 music file for each music track. Click on this link for instruction on converting music files to mp3 file format :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r5798418-creating_transferring_mp3_music_files

My Hitachi dmp860 player displays the error message "NO AUTHORITY" when trying to play wma files that I originally ripped from my own cds. Why is this and what can I do about it?

When you ripped them, you probably used Windows Media Player which will add copy protection by default if you don't set otherwise.

Either

- Re-rip as MP3
- Re-rip with copy protection off

It is easier to re-rip than to try to remove copy protection.

You can convert your CDs to MP3 music files.
You can do this using Windows Media player and Rip the CDs - Media Player willcreate a MP3 music file for each music track.
There are also Freeware CD RIP programs on the Internet that add the musictitle and album folders to the mp3 file automatically.

Go to start menu, my computer and leave that window open.

Then go to start menu, my music and leave that window open

Then you can drag songs from music straight to SD card.

Right click on your mp3 file, go to properties, Make sure read only is NOT checked.
TIP: You can copy all files by clicking the first file, then hold the SHIFT key, and then lastly clicking the last file. Then all files will be highlighted.

Most likely a issue in the FAT or similar table. The tables used on the internal memory is allocated only for short files names since most media managers change the file names to fit 8.3 dos. They do this since mp3 and mwa audio files use id tagging. So try renaming your mp3's that its eight letters or numbers then the three letter extension .mp3 = rap0001.mp3

The 4gb cards are called SDHC(secure digital high capacity), check the packaging for the sdhc logo, if it just says sd your max size is 2gb.

When I was looking at this product, I contacted the manufacturer and they made it clear the unit worked best with a 512 mb or smaller card. The problem is not with Sandisk or the SD manufacturer, it is with the HA90.
