i am trying to load my itunes collection to the 64GB sandisk SD card i purchased for my new S3. My son's pal who has an IT degree enthusiastically took on the task earlier this evening, having done the same for his mum's A6 a couple of years ago.
We got so far but MP4s were not recognised. Most of my itunes are from Cds that I have loaded onto our imac.

Any ideas anyone ? I have offered beer money if he can find a solution and sort it out !! Meantime my old ipod touch is doing the business on the B&O !!

You need to convert the MP4 to MP3, you can do it in itunes it is in the drop down menu to create an MP3, and reveal in finder where you create them and then transfer them to SD card, check to see if it will read a 64 gig, may have to use a smaller capacity card

I'm pretty sure 64Gb is OK. Mine is only 32 but I think folks on here have said 128 works.

Much of my music was ripped using iTunes and it resulted in MP3. But I have lately used Windows Media Player which I much prefer. I think iTunes is the spawn of the devil.

You may have to sort the album art separately. There are good threads on here concerning that.

You DO NOT need to convert to MP3.

Simply drag and drop from iTunes, ideally while looking at Album view (this may create a more tidy folder view) and bang, done.

This worked for me with purchased AAC iTunes music that are M4a files (the music version of MP4, since MP4 is video).

Maybe you were trying to play the dot underscore files, if copied from a Mac, or the SD card isn't formatted for PC?

MP4's (iTunes default) work fine on my 64gb card. Simple drag and drop of the folders etc.
