Hi,

I've been using the same USB drive for the past year I've owned my node and have never had any issues. Recently I removed the drive to add more songs to it. When I reconneted it, the USB drive never appears in the app. I tried to rebuild the index and it says it's starting indexing hits 1 file and stops and the drive never shows up. If I connect a different USB drive it starts indexing and working normally. I also tried deleting all the new folders and files I put on the drive but it still fails. What could be on the drive preventing indexing?

Thanks

  After deleting, empty recycle bin

  I tried emptying the recycle bin, doing the diagnostic reboot and then cycling power, none worked. Last step will be to format it which I want to avoid. I miss CDs..

  It may be too late to rescue your music but in the future, it may be a good idea to have a more permanent solution; https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360000465747

  A USB Drive plugged into the back of your node is quick access to music but note a permanent solution
