I have a playback question for my DR-680 - I've never tried to playback the files directly on the machine but rather have always just copied the SD card over to my laptop and messed around with things from there. Today I tried to play the files directly on the machine - I selected Browse from the menu and when I highlight a certain take and select info, it says "Irregular File" and when I try to play it it says "File Not Found in Take". The files copied over to my HD and play fine there - anyone know what's up?
Sorry, haven't checked this thread in a while. When I move files from the machine to my computer I often "cut & paste" (cut) instead of "drag & drop" (copy). When I do this, the file name still shows up in the 680's menu. When you do Browse>Info it then shows "file not found in take" as you described above. Essentially, I think if the header information is present, it will look for and play the file correctly (assuming it's the same file that the 680 recorded). I am not removing the SD card from the machine when I do the "cut & paste" as described. The only way to get rid of the file names is to format the card. The card still says the correct amount of free space is present, but for whatever reason keeps the file names (header information) until formatted.
I assume if you record with the 680 and the file is still on the machine, it will play back properly. I have played back the files in the car (once/twice) on the way home to check them out - simply using the headphone out to AUX in on the car stereo. I have also listened through headphones at home directly on the 680 without issue.
Cheers,
Matt
