Z1 music syncing issues

[MBR]

Hi all,

I've had my Z1 for just a week and have had endless problems trying to sync music to the (brand new) 32gb MicroSD card that I installed.

I've tried using Sony bridge for mac which takes 4 hours to sync 1500 or so songs from iTunes (mostly purchased from iTunes store). Once it completes there are always errors and 40-50% of songs won't play.

I then tried double twist which corrupted the card and made it unreadable. I managed to save it by using a disk utility, which seems to of worked for now.

Today I tried Sony bridge again, which again took 4 hours to sync. No errors this time but again many songs are missing and a lot do not play.

I am already sick and tired of the problems which should be so easy to fix. I guess we've all been spoilt with how easy the iPhone and iTunes are to use.

Is there anything else I can try? I'm considering taking it back and swapping for a 5s, but I really don't want to. I like alot of the features and the camera is great!

I have the same issue, but I am using a Windows (7) computer, I'd like to try the andriod option but the link states it is for mac only, do you know of a way to solve this for windows?

I'm having this problem as well. When I first got the phone I just slotted in the memory card from my old phone and everything was fine. Thursday, I picked up a brand new 32gb card... and the phone is all over the place: tried copying and pasting with the card in a reader -fail, everything moved to LOST.dir; used MediaGo - fail, tracks either disappear, play too fast, or I get a 'cannot play file' message.

This is abysmal. I bought this phone for the camera (excellent) and the Walkman tag. Right now I wish I'd picked up the GS5. As a media player it's not fit for purpose.
