I just hooked my M-10 up to the computer via usb
At first the card wouldn't be recognized at all.
I retried it and the card was recognized but the files are all symbols and won't open
Then I tred a card reader that is showing the same results
also, the M-10 is reading 00/00 files
am i screwed?
I had some older files on there from last recordings and everything was fine until i recorded again.
any help?

OK
now it won't read/recognize the sd card at all
wtf???
-
How long we're the sets and what sample rate?
-
an hour or less
16/44

Might be a stupid question, but did you format the card in the M10 before you used it, or did you just plug it in and go?

plug and fly
fucked myself good, didn't i? :'(
funny thing is, mike. it won't even read a brandy new card now, wtflyinf?

The M10 can be very finnicky with how the MicroSD card is inserted; that said, try taking it out and re-seating the card in the deck. I don't know if you have a laptop and if it has a card reader but you might want to give that a spin.
And yes, ALWAYS... ALWAYS... ALWAYS format your card in the deck the first time you go to use it (and periodically from time to time) to save yourself from this headache.

Aren't the recordings on the internal flash of the M10?
-
On the back of the PCM-M10, next to the slot, is a diagram of how the card is inserted. The card will go into the slot other ways--and will not be read. I did this as a n00b, and then panicked that the PCM-M10 wasn't reading the card. You'd think you were putting it in upside-down and backwards--but that's how it goes in.

I found that inserting the card is not enough. You need MENU>MEMORY>select MEMORY CARD, otherwise it defaults to internal memory. It won't show the memory card icon on the display until I do that. Obvious? Perhaps.

Not if you indicated to use the inserted microSD card. I rarely use the internal memory since it is easier to transfer the recordings off the card.

Sounds like a card not sitting correctly AND a non formatted card
-
the card was used for over 100 recordings with ZERO problems, ever.
it was NEVER removed from the 1st time it was put in the deck. the card was definitely in the correct way.
i formatted probably every 10 sets or so
***there are files on the card. but, they are corrupted. CAN THIS BE FIXED***
EDIT: i also tried the card in a card reader getting the same results with the same corrupted files.
the file names are symbols of the like i've never seen before ???
totally weird

That's crazy kev!

Try the wave header repair utility, there is a thread on here about it....

Kev...there's a discussion on corrupt files somewhere in ts history...I'm pretty sure it's in the thread that's attached to that file header repair utility. I've had hit and miss luck fixing corrupt files, but in order to fix what you have, you gotta be able to figure out what form of corruption you have. One issue is the header info, another is some zero bit offset or something like that, and there's a third one that I can't remember. IIRC, that repair utility can only address one of these three issues.
Do you use Audition or CDWave?
If so, check to see if any of the corrupt files will open in either CDWave or Audition. If the file loads, but the waveform is just a solid block, you should be able to fix them. I don't remember exactly what you have to do, but it seems like CDWave will sometimes fix the zero bit offset automatically for you...shit just can't remember. In Audition, you need to manually go through a routine and manually select the offset bit...you try them one at a time and if that's the issue, once you have the offset bit correctly defined, the waveform will no longer be a solid block waveform, but a good waveform.
Not sure if this helps...it's all from my really crappy memory banks.

i was jst trying to open them in explorer
