Pono player not recognized
spingle:
Anyone know how common this issue is? Got mine 24hours ago, still futzing with it & haven't heard note one of that sweet, perfectly defined music I supposedly bought. It's such an ugly out of the box experience that I'm yearning for my much maligned Zune player/software combo. I feel like I'm doing the Pono hokey-pokey. Some of the suggestions in this thread have gotten the player visible to my PC ... once. Do you have to stick your left foot out & shake it all about every time you plug in?
Jeez, it's a USB connected external drive. What's the issue? I thought "plug and pray" days went away long ago.
Sorry. Just venting. I'm using Win 7 Pro on a year old machine with resources to spare. I thought I was well within the software configuration hot spot & of anything I expected, digging out my old DOS 3.0 disks to figure out what's going on wasn't on the list. I imagine I'll work through it ... though I can't figure out why I have to.

Same as others, struggled initially, but the key is to simply plug in the USB cable and click "Yes" to the question "load music?". The drives appear, and MC can see then for syncing. Once you get that, it's simple.
I'm glad I'm a long time MC user as I can imagine newer guys struggling...
Have to say, it's worth the effort... the Pono sounds astonishing.

Does it show up in Windows Explorer?
Also, which version of PonoMusic World are you running? There was a fix in build 20.0.43:
1. Fixed: Automatic recognition of PonoPlayer was not always reliable, especially if there was a long delay before user clicked the 'transfer files' button on it.

... and not to press "Done", which I think ejects the device.

The instructions here clarified the issue and I'm mostly up and running. (Limited time for this kind of play at the moment increased the problem.) I've never used a USB device that controlled the PC drive recognition from the device itself -- so the interplay seemed alien. Zunes, Samsungs & Creative MP3 players showed up out of the box, latched onto the software & it was off to the races.
Kudos to this forum, however ... I appreciate the help.
