Montego Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hello all, I'm trying to access flac files on a fat32 Toshiba drive. When I connect the hard drive the receiver display reads 'empty'. I can't find any support online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montego Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 I know that some on this forum have Pioneer receivers. Just wondered if anyone had used that feature. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help. Have you tried another USB device with a few files on it? It's possible it might just be that Toshiba device having an interface problem with your receiver. I take it you have looked through the owners guide? BTW, it's perfectly OK to ask a question like this on this forum. If you need to know anything about garage door openers or paper shredders, there are current threads about those as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't seem to have a problem with that....At least his question is audio related. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Page 67 of the manual states that uncompressed FLAC is not supported. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try compressed or a different format. As for the other issue, I let it go. I don't post very often but I get a lot of information here and hope to hang around awhile longer.

We have a winner. OK, so because I am completely clueless, does this mean that there is such a thing as "compressed" FLAC, and that those files would be compatible with this receiver? If you look at that page in the owners manual, it IS a bit confusing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at that page in the owners manual, it IS a bit confusing..... I find the manual confusing. One place says yes, then no. Below is from mr gooogleFLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality.

I was thinking perhaps the OP had some way to un-compress and save...I have no idea really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
