Transfer is excruciatingly slow... any suggestions?

As per Subject, transfer of files is excruciatingly slow... taking 24+ hours to fill the Pono.

Using latest firmware and latest Pono World software.

In the Pono videos files are seen transferring at high speed, so not sure what's wrong at my end...

Any suggestions?

If you look at the timestamp on the Pono videos you'll see that they are "fast-forwarded" (the transfer of the two albums to the Pono actually starts at 30 minutes (at 6:30 on the tape))! I recommend just dragging and dropping and staying away from PMW when possible. It really is only needed for firmware updates. To do so, keep PMW closed, plug in the Pono, select transfer and open your file directory. The Pono will appear as one or two drives (if you have a card installed it will show 2). Then just drag your new files to the correct location.

Since Pono only supports USB 2.0 it's still pretty slow but not as slow as from within PMW.

Yeah I've been having an extremely frustrating time lately trying to sync to my Pono as well. I don't know if it's a windows problem, sent it in for repairs twice, I don't think it works well with windows 8 after a while. I could be wrong but I can't fathom a reason for mine either.

I added a 128gb card this week and transfer speeds on this card are much faster than the original card.  The internal storage, however, remains interminably slow.

I guess I'll set things up so that the internal contains my unchanging album selection and use the external drive for albums that come and go...

Maybe Pono 2 will be faster  ::)

The other day I came across a transfer that also said it would take a day.

I discovered it was because I tagged most of the Custom Album I made with MP3tag and then had to edit a few things in PMW.
The Pono doesn't seem to like this.

I redid everything with MP3tag and it loaded in 3 minutes.
