SD card
D10S:
The card I received would still not load onto the PONO. Good news, it did not send the PONO into a crash. But the PONO could not read the card.

Report that directly to Phil Baker at Pono using the email he published yesterday on the Pono blog (where you posted today!).

I ran a check for errors on each card, only one of the ten had any errors. 8 of the ten are cards that had played just fine on my Pono till the beginning of the year. The other two are brand new cards which had not been used yet. I reformatted both of those on the PC. Neither had errors and worked fine on the PC, but neither would load on the Pono. Even without any files on them.
Same with the other 8 cards, none would load on the Pono. I did play audio files on all the cards just fine on the PC. However, I did notice one thing odd. Any files I added to those cards after 2017, most likely using the PMV, those files did not play, some even had duplicate files that would not play. So I deleted those, but the cards still did not play on the PONO. So either the PMV or my iMac did corrupt some files since the start of 2017. However, the SD cards that had no files on them or had no bad files also did not load onto the player.

I think the fact that you reformatted the cards on your PC is the issue here. All microSD cards I've purchased work in the Pono straight out of the box. You shouldn't have to format/reformat these cards at all. Unfortunately, the Pono player does not have a card format option, so those cards you reformatted will not work on Pono until Pono releases a Pono formatting tool.

No, that can't be it. "Straight out of the box" SD cards are formatted as FAT32 or ExFAT.

One of our test Pono players just stopped working with the microSD cards.
It seems to be either something blew on the main board or there is an issue with the SDCard contacts.
On another topic, does anyone know what the real maximum size card the Pono Player supports?
