Trouble with Discover Genus playlist

(1/2) > >>

Hi

I can not get the Discover Genos to function.

I follow Yamaha instructions to the letter, every thing seems to work till I select one of the 5 playlists, press the the playlist button again, select a playlist file, press enter, then a message comes up saying ''file not found or inappropriate''

Anybody got a clue  :-\ :-\

Cheers
Terry

I will add that I am using only one usb inserted as USB 1 taken from the underneath compartment and now mounted in the front as USB 1

Cheers Terry

Hi Terry,

I assume you completely followed the Yamaha instruction, unzipped the "Diiscover_Genos.zip" file directly to "Discover_Genos", not adding another extra folder of "Discover_Genos" because some zip files do not contain a subfolder and thus a lot of people unzip the zip files onto a subfolder with the same name of the zip file.  The "Discover_Genos.zip" file already contains a subfolder "Discover_Genos" and so a direct "Extract here" is appropriate here.  Then you copy the extracted subfolder "Discover_Genos" to the root directory of your USB stick.

The directory structure should be like this (assuming your USB stick is U: drive):
U:\Discover_Genos>tree
Folder PATH listing
Volume serial number is 1E28-C3BF
U:.

When you press the "Playlist" button, by default, the playlist is the last playlist you accessed:


You touch the on screen playlist name, then the screen will take you to the same storage area that you stored your current playlist, in my case, it is USB1:


You then press USB1, P1 to see the "Discover_Genos" subfolder:


Press the "Discover_Genos" subfolder, you get:


Suppose you want to try the "Singer_Songwriter" playlist, you press it:


Now you have the "Singer_Songwriter" playlist:


You can then either double press the song name, or single press the song name followed by pressing "Load" to load the song, including the text file and registrations.

Thanks,

Hi Paul

Thanks for your detailed response, which I will study tomorrow.
But its got worse, the Bonus Playlist which I had installed on the User drive and working OK, is now producing the same message as Discover Genos  in USB1 :-\ :-\
How can that be ??? its on a different drive.

I downloaded the Discover Genos-zip  file to my pc, copied that file directly to the USB. Then I extracted the file within the USB which produced another file called Discover Genos (no zip). This is what I plugged into the the keyboard to get the result I did.

Cheers
Terry

ps Thanks for your learned contributions to to this forum which I am sure are greatly appreciated by all members

Hi Terry,

I only put my Bonus and "Discover Genos" playlist related folders on USB1, not USER.  The Bonus and "Discover Genos" playlists have references to I: drive, which is USB1.

Thanks,
Paul
